I was planning to get one for pc/ps3 use as I live in a house with 4 others and sometimes I'd like to be able to use my ps3 anytime without having to hog the 42" plasma in our lounge.
Dell ST2410 24" or Samsung SM2433BW 24"?

I was planning to get one for pc/ps3 use as I live in a house with 4 others and sometimes I'd like to be able to use my ps3 anytime without having to hog the 42" plasma in our lounge.
My housemate bought a S2409W a few months ago due to a recommendation by me and he loves it (uses it for basic PC stuff and xbox 360). From what I've seen it's a very good monitor and he has no probs using it for games on his 360. Only problem is the annoying sound issue via HDMI.
I'd basically be using it for the same thing, web/films/odd game on my pc etc and with my ps3 from time to time. Looks like I'll go for the ST2410 unless anyone has any other recommendations?

No complaints so far. Can't recommend this screen enough at the price it is.

Any negatives whatsoever? My 19" Hanns-G has just started randomly switching itself off and I'm looking for a new all-rounder.

You can't mount it. Thats the only negative I can think of for this monitor.

Ah yes, the sound issue on the S2409W is a little annoying, but not a deal breaker (if you mean the sound not coming on for a few seconds after turning it on). Haven't checked to see if it's fixed on the ST2410 yet, did you want me to check for you?
I want to get this monitor (2410) for my PC and for the xbox 360 (Not at the same time) Whats the sound issue?
Does it not have a audio output so that I can connect speakers straight to the monitor?
The problem with the S2409W was that if you had sound coming through via the HDMI cable and then out via the audio out jack it can take a few seconds at the start to kick in. Also if you had a silent point in the audio it will then take another few seconds to kick back in, almost like a power saving audio feature (but more annoying). I think it was fixed in later revisions of the S2409W.
If it's not too much trouble Phill99 that would be great
. I haven't heard anything regarding the same problem with the ST2410 so hopefully it should be ok.I found this and thought it might be beneficial to some people in this thread.
It's all the information about the Monitor from Dell;

Just tested and am happy to say that the audio problem seems to be 100% fixed
Also to note, for those of you that may plan on running something like Sky+HD through the monitor, there's now the option for 4:3 signals to be displayed at 4:3 instead of stretched to the full screen size

Thanks for testing it, much appreciated
That's a nice little feature! Not sure how standard that is on most monitors??
