Man, I haven't logged on to this forum in a long time! But I do read it fairly often..

Anyway, as the title states - I am looking for a replacement to my 7 or 8 year old NEC. I love this monitor and it still works great. It is one of the best PC purchases I've ever made, even for the $$ I paid. But I want a dual monitor setup and am looking for a good, similar replacement.

My wishlist:

- 24" IPS Panel (would go lower if the other conditions could be met)
- No Anti Glare, I much prefer glossy
- Preferably 1920x1200/16:10
- Decent response time, I do game but no FPS type stuff
- ~$600 for 2 monitors, negotiable
- Adjustable stand.. not a deal breaker

The only one that I've found and seems to fit is the NEC EA244WMi - does anyone have any experience with this monitor?

I'm open to suggestions - Any help is appreciated!

The more research I do, the more difficult it seems to find what I'm looking for..

Does anyone have any experience with this monitor - BENQ BL2411PT?

Seems fairly new and I don't know if it's readily available in the states.

Damn.. my NEC has 23001H29M on it

My research led me to the NEC EA244WMI too, but people are speculating that it's 6 bit E-IPS rather than real 8 bit IPS.

But I can't find any definitive info anywhere!

I had an Asus PA248Q and it's a nice monitor but the antiglare is a little too grainy for my taste. Not THAT bad but still noticeable. Glossy isn't an option except for the Apple screens and Korean IPS unfortunately.
