I've had enough of the 24" TN panels. I bought 2 of them during this BF week, one a Samsung and an LG, and after a few hours, I returned them both. The color shift was just unbearable to me. Anyway I'm wanting a better panel now. I guess my choices are either the S-PVA (or MVA) or the more expensive IPS. Ideally, I would like to get the HP LP2475W which is an IPS panel and has good reviews on the web. But at over $600 a pop, that's a bit steep. My next option is a used Dell Ultrasharp 24" for $350, which uses the S-PVA panel.

I've done some research and many are saying that the 2408 rev A00 has a nasty input lag, but later rev. A01 is supposed to address this input lag. So I would like to ask if anyone in here has the A01 revision and if so can you commnent on the monitor?

I plan to use it to watch movies often (no TV in my room). I do game a little but I guess if the lag is not too bad I can live with it. However, still photo is more important to me than gaming. Any personal experience is appreciated.

(yes I know there's an LCD thread in here, but at 322 pages long, it's a pain to search)
