Is the HP LP2275w a glossy screen or matte screen?
Very likely a matte screen. I don't think HP releases glossy panels under the LP line, only the w series.

Greetings, all!
So, I'm looking to purchase a new monitor. My new one, a 19" Fuji Plus LCD, has served me well for several years. However, I love PC gaming, and have recently been using my PC as my media center to watch movies on with friends. I'd like to upgrade it to something that would allow for some awesome resolutions (I'm thinking 1900x1200), and decent viewing angles for viewing movies with friends. I'd like to spend around $400, but I'm willing to go up to around $500 if the price/performance ratio is decent enough.
I've done a bit of research, including in this topic (which is wonderful, by the way; thanks for your hard work!). So far, I'm thinking of the 24" BenQ 2400WD.

Is this what you guys would recommend, based on my criteria? As well, Newegg offers an extended net warranty plan-- 2 years for $60. Would this be worthwhile? I'm particularly worried about receiving it and having a dead pixel problem, due to Newegg's crummy 8-pixel policy.
Thanks, all! I appreciate it.
I'm not sure the details of the extended policy, like if it covers dead pixels or not. You could probably exchange to try another refurb from BenQ if something goes wrong.
I am a little worried about the viewing angles on a 24" TN (G2400WD) so I would give other VA panels a look.
