Other than obvious size and resolution differences, how do the two compare? Does the Gateway suffer from lag? Has anyone seen both of these monitor in person to compare?

I have seen both of these monitors in person, but have only tested out the 2405 as I have one.

I would imagine the 2405 would eat the Gateway alive just by pure speculation, which of course means nothing coming from me :)

I've only seen the Gateway 21", haven't touched a Dell 2405. I really like my Gateway, and I don't get any ghosting or tearing with it. Don't have any idea how it stacks up with the 2405.

That's a rather unfair comparison :p

The Gateway i use at work quite a bit; it's a gorgeous monitor, & very well priced for what you get.
I've never noticed any response time issues.

The Gateway also has HDCP, which makes it a lot more futureproof that the Dell.

I've wanted to buy the Gateway, but have been holding out for the 2407, only because I could watch HDTV at full resolution on it. But if the 2407 has lag, then I would prefer the Gateway. I heard LG panels suffer from lag like the Samsung ones do. Does anyone know what panel the Gateway uses?
