Sorry, not that I'm aware of.
I think Sony used to have one.

Since I just can't find a 20WMGX2, I'm considering an NEC LCD2470WNX. The only bad thing I saw about it are the reports of input lag on this model and/or all 24" LCDs. I don't know much about it, but in your opinion, just how concerned should I be? I'm coming from a ViewSonic VP2130B, and I'm totally satisfied with the way it performs in games; so would the 2470 be comparable to it, or have more noticeable input lag?
Also, is there a "best" 24" non-TN?
Thanks very much for this thread and all your advice.
I doubt that input lag would be bothersome to you.
I felt input lag on my 26" monitor at first a little (or maybe it was something else). It affected me too. Then a few days passed, and I have completely forgotten about it. This is what I suspected would happen. Technically it has 16-32ms more than my 20.1" but not a big deal.
Gaming feels just fine on it, but I haven't been in any CAL competitions lately. Watch out.
A "best" 24" non-TN? I wish...
But the ones I recommend in the OP (LP2465, VX2435wm, 2407WFP-HC) are great, at least for the most part. The LP2465 is the most "issue-less" one in my opinion, but even it offers no alternative video inputs like component or S-Video. The VX doesn't have DVI (silly) and the 2407WFP-HC has a little bit of a ghosting issue that annoys some people enough for them to return it. The VX is good though as HDMI->DVI is electrically compatible.
The FP241W is great but some people have blackout problems with it. I hope I can get to the bottom of this. I think I finally got to the bottom of the LG L226WTQ issues (service menu change is consistently fixing the problem). But I'd really prefer BenQ get to the bottom of it. It is not my responsibility to be fixing monitors! If there is a miracle solution out there I will gladly add it to my new second post under the OP (HELPDESK), but I haven't seen that yet. And I don't think I will recommend it again until the problem is fixed for everyone. This would be like recommending the 226BW again. It's a shame, but it's not a wise idea to have someone order the FP241W from Newegg (non-refundable) and not be able to do anything about it, if BenQ doesn't care.
P.S. I don't know much about the LCD2470WNX but my general policy is that I wait for a review from PRAD, BeHardware, X-Bit, THG, ExtremeTech, or some site I trust even if user reviews are 'good' about it. Sporting an S-PVA, I still doubt it can offer anything over the same-paneled HP LP2465 which already has great performance and a lower price tag to boot.
Actually prad has a favorable review of the 2470WNX here:

Not worth it over LP2465 for the price though IMO.
The VX24 does have pretty good default color settings and uniformity, though, which is certainly worth nothing when it comes to overall screen quality. All you need is an HDMI->DVI adapter for it.
