If you can afford the U2410 then your system is capable of running games at 1920x1200, so that is the best option.

However, more than 50% of U2410's seem to have dead pixels and pink/green tint issues. Read up on this first.

What about the 23" NEC on OCUK pre-order?

Also, I will be watching movies, photo editing, web browsing, office work and of course gaming.

I'm looking at an IPS screen.

What NEC?

I think he is referring to to the NEC suggested by Alfie, discussed here:

OK.

Well, I'm currently comparing it to the Dell 2209WA but I'm not quite sure.

What other IPS screens are there?

Didaco · 19 Oct 2009 at 22:08

What other 16:10 IPS screens are there?

Why? specifically IPS, PVA just as good, Ive got the HP LP2475W which is similarly priced to the U2410 and is rated as one of the best screens available, and it is awesome
Check out TFTcentral for more info on this and other screens

I need the better viewing angles and height adjustment.
