However it did have a great picture. Bright as hell.
I am actually using the 2407 at the moment and I like it. The desktop looks better on XP than Vista though. I am just assuming the drivers are better opt. on XP than Vista.
SO... What's the difference on a TN and VA panel. Have no clue here... Newbie!
Every day I thank my lucky stars that my Gateway was perfect right out of the box first try. Uniform backlight and no dead pixels. Also havent noticed the menu lights bleeding onto the screen ad I have tested the black levels extensively.
I do however agree with you that the controls suck donkey gonads. Boy do I miss my Dell 2007wfp controls.
The Dell and Gateway actually use S-PVA panels that are superior to TN panels in every respect except response time. IPS and PVA/MVA panels offer better viewing angles, truer colors, higher contrast ratio and IMO just an overall better picture.
Enjoy the 24" goodness my friend, I know I am.
Only thing that sucks is that I'm currently using my PC for homework, web surfing, etc.. and not gaming. All my gaming is done on my 24" on my XBOX 360 via VGA cable. If I wanna start PC gaming again when Quake Wars and Crysis arrive, it's going to take another $500 to drive this monitor at 1920x1200 with the settings I like.
