I think the HP w2408h and G24 probably have as good of image quality as the G2400WD does, but do realize the former are glossy panels.
I'd take IPS/PVA 24" panels if I were gaming just because I hate TN viewing angles, especially when I have to pay $400 for those types of viewing angles. So if you want *my* opinion of the best gaming monitor, then probably the NEC LCD2490WUXi (true sRGB/application-independent calibration) followed by the HP LP2475w. In my list I try to cater to what "others" think matters in gaming, which is allegedly response time and input lag. Personally I don't really care about these, but I'm not a "competitive" or clan gamer (anymore) either. And let's face it, we have to enumerate the fastest LCDs somewhere, and where else is that more appropriate than the Gaming category? I'd always look at the Multimedia category if I were looking for a panel for myself.
If you want a "great" gaming monitor then look for an NEC 20WMGX2. Most pro gamers probably wouldn't use anything over 1680x1050, anyways. All you get with a higher resolution is a tad more detail, which can be emulated at subpixel level with 2xSSAA if you really want it, but I don't think they'd ever, ever use AA either due to the performance hit. I think 24" is too big for gaming since it's hard to see the whole screen as easily.
I see.
Well, using input lag as the only (or the most major) criteria, would the BenQ G2400WD still be the best, in all of history (as far as you know)?
