Which 24" lcd?

Greebo · 4 May 2009 at 14:30

I currently have a NEC 20WGX2 pro screen and I fancy upgrading to a 24" screen (got some money spare)

I love my NEC and can honestly say its the best screen I have ever seen.

I play games and watch movies.

So, I have drawn up my shortlist as being the following

NEC 24WMGX3

or

HP LP2475W

These seem to be most comparable to my IPS screen (I am aware the NEC isn't IPS but comes close)

What are the pros and cons of each?

Which would you advise getting?

Is there another monitor which should be on my shortlist? Budget up to £500.

Thanks

EDIT: I can't afford the NEC MultiSync LCD2490WUXi so no point suggesting it

Thanks for that. Somebody else must have an opinion?

Yeah I had a quick look at the Benq but discounted it after reading about a few issues with backlight bleed and humming.

Where's Baddass when you need him?

O want to order tomorrow and just can't make my mind up

I know what you mean and I keep being swayed towards the NEC but anybody here got one after owning a 20WGX2? Were you disappointed with the quality or are they comparable?

Still not sure, now considering the Dell 2408WFP since the A1 revision seems to have cured a lot of problems like the lag.

Read both reviews as I always do with your site. It's the first port of call!

ANyway after seeing loads of problems experienced on here with the HP screens and NEC having great warranty I have decided to stick with the NEC.

Just hopw I'm not going to be disappointed coming from my 20WGX2 pro.

Oh the use of the screen was games and dvd watching.
