main purpose will be for photo editing but my budget is $800.
i was considering the apple LED 24" but didn't see it mentioned here really.
HP 2745 was another consideration and dells as well
from what I gather I should probably be looking for an IPS or PVA panel.

Hi everyone,
I'm considering the Dell Ultrasharp 2209WA for $279. Are there any glaring solutions of other monitors which are equally good for a cheaper price, or which are bigger/better for the same amount of money? (quality 24"?)
This will be used for a mix of gaming, photoshop, and office type work. Not much in the way of movies. BTW, the photoshop work is not super-intensive or anything and I'll have a CRT beside it to double-check accuracy. Mostly looking for reliability and price, without actually sacrificing all ideas of good color representation.

anyone else not like 16:9 monitors? maybe on the desktop where you can get full hd at least it's some improvement over the WSXGA+ that i'm currently running but some of those notebook screens barely have any vertical space. i can't recall the last time i was just doing regular work and had to scroll side to side, but i can barely fit half a page in word into the tiny vertical spaces on a typical 16:10 notebook screen. so what do the monitor makers do? figure out a way to sell us even less of a screen and call it progress.
heck, i still sometimes miss the extra 150 vertical pixels from when i ran 16x12.

I am shopping for a monitor for my Sons system. He currently has a 19" LCD (5:4, not WS). I have a budget of around $150. Of course, I'd gladly spend a good bit more for something that is much better. He surfs the web, watches videos and plays FPS's (L4D, COD, etc.). He also has an XBox in his room connected to an old 19" TV. I really don't ever see him using the XBox, but I figured that I really should consider a monitor that has HDMI, so that I can get rid of that CRT TV.
I've been looking around a bit and I am close to pulling the trigger on this monitor:
ASUS VH236H
I had seen some other that I liked, but there was always a reason I dismissed it, 1 year warranty (Acer), questionable quality (Auria), etc... My Sons current monitor, a Hanns-G 19" developed a problem after about two years of use. I sent it out, they repaired it and returned it with the back panel completely NOT SECURED (the 100mm X 100mm panel where an arm would connect). I ended up taking it apart and finding 3 out of 4 screws inside, so I secured the mounting panel myself. That being said, I don't hate Hanns-G (or Hanns Spree), but I am not eager to buy from them again.
I have been looking at this Acer lately, it has a 3 year warranty, and DVI + HDMI. The only problem that I can foresee is that there isn't any speakers which would leave the Xbox 360 without any audio:
Acer X233Hbid
Any suggestions on why I should get this or a different monitor would be appreciated. I am not that familiar with monitor technology and figure that some here could steer me in a good direction.
-Thanks, Ken
BTW: He got a system upgrade for Xmas last year, so he has:
Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 Wolfdale 2.66GHz
ASUS P5Q LGA 775 Intel P45
Corsair 2 X 2GB DDR2
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4830 512MB
His system is not overclocked and has so far been running his games fine. Of course, his current resolution is 1280 x 1024 and the new screen would probably be at a minimum of 1440 x 900. So, if you know of problems with this hardware and that resolution, information would be appreciated.

It looks amazing aesthetically, but how is the performance and is it worth the $500 premium over other 30' monitors? or am I just paying for the Apple name and look?

The BenQ V2400W is also deactivated on Newegg, but does seem to be available for a good price directly from BenQ, that might be the way to go for 1920x1200 24" gaming LCD.
