which 24in lcd?

[ab11]

i'm considering upgrading from my dell 2005fpw to a 24 inch. i'm willing to spend up to 400, maybe a little more if need be, but i would prefer to spend less if possible. i know very little about lcds and could use some advice. i'm considering the following options:

1. dell E248WFP = $319 (on dell outlet)
-good price
-sorta matches my 2005fpw (which i will use as aux monitor)

2. BenQ g2400wd = $379
-http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16824014173
-great reviews on newegg
-$60 more then dell
-might be the correct choice

3. acer p243W = 389.99
-http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16824009125
-slightly more expensive and slightly lower quality then benQ (accurate?)

4. Westinghouse L2410NM = 399.99
-http://www.newegg.com/Product/...6824255001&Tpk=L2410NM
-don't know what to put here

seems to come down to dell vs BenQ
thoughts? any others i should consider?


edit:

5. Samsun T260 - $499
-a more expensive alternative to consider

i'm pretty sure the dell E248WFP is a 6bit panel. i have a 22" version of this and it's okay but nothing special. the viewing angle isn't great and the colours don't seem to be vibrant either.

i would say get a BenQ FP241W if you have the money.

why not g2400wd?
