Fabulous resource you've got going here xtknight, the time and effort you put into it is exceptional and greatly appreciated.
On that note, I'm hoping someone can help me out with some advice. I'm running a 19" ViewSonic CRT at the moment and have been considering getting an LCD for quite some time, and what it's basically come down to is the Dell 2407-HC or going dual with a 20WMGX2 and probably another, cheaper 20".
The main uses for the monitor will be gaming and 3D work. I'd really have rather waited to grab a monitor but with the 2407 $100 cheaper until August 8th, I'm really tempted to jump on it. A few pages back you made a statement of the 2407 being an excellent monitor; would you be more inclined to recommend the 20WMGX2 with a 2nd 20" as a dual setup, or the 2407?
I'm totally torn between the two because a 24" monitor sounds spectacular coming from something with a 17.1" viewable screen, but my 3D work, and the fear of games lagging (performance, not response/input lag) at such high res is making me consider the 20WMGX2.
Oh, and one question that I've been curious about for a while. If I had a 24" monitor, without scaling, can it be run at a lower res? What I mean by this is, can the actual screen size be decreased, either via black bars around the edge or some other method?
