Been awhile since I've gone monitor shopping--last time was when Dell released the 1905fp, had some coupons, and ended up disapointed. I currently have 2 19's, a 1901FP and a 1905FP, the 1905FP, for some reason, is a piece of crap next to the 1901FP. Lots of adjustments, etc, maybe I got a lemon, but either way I lost confidence in Dell's brand back then.

Of course I want relatively inexpensive, and I'll probably use the 1901FP as a second monitor to whatever I get. Couple guys got the Dell ultrasharp 24" at my office and it SEEMS nice, but I'd like to get some opinions, or maybe a link to 24" comparisons. And no, I don't want one with a crappy screen like the Dell E series have. :)

Price range on the 27" i'm guessing isn't close to the 24s yet. Also, I recently built a new machine with an 8800GTS--will that card have any problem supporting the resolution on a 24 or 27"?

Any help is appreciated. :)

I have 2 20" 2001FP's and a 30" Dell. I really like them both.

I've had the 20" since they were decently new...what like 3 years now. They are all great monitors. I've been very happy with my Dells.

I also hear the 24's are good units.

8800gts should be fine at 1900x1200 for everything besides crysis, I have the 2405 and am happy with it (though the lack of hdcp is annoying). Right now dell or samsung seem to be best for 24's, and gateway has the best 30.
