ok, juuuust about to buy a 24", 1920x1200 monitor, thoughts?

currently got an HP W2207 22", 1680 x 1050 and want to make the final jump to 1920 x 1200.

i like the monitor, it's got a shiny screen, so i got it away from the windows, but the colour separation is really good.

what's my criteria?

gaming first, colour representation second (i do some web site development, but i am not a designer)..

let's see what your suggestions are! :wink:

What I got recently:
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/pscmisc/vac/us/product_pdfs/ZR24w_data_sheet_120409.pdf

Cons:
Backlight not perfect.
Long time to switch between resolutions (long meaning 1 second or so - I usually don't get to see Windows' welcome screen for example).
No HDMI.
Manuals. Or lack thereof :roll: (the paper ones anyway)

Pros:
Price (~€400)
IPS panel
Ergonomics
Design
DisplayPort
USB hub (1 in, 2 out)
Menu options, lots of them

Good enough for my gaming and photography needs. Spec sheet reports 12 ms on/off and 5 ms g/g.

good question.

i hate wasting money, but i don't really have a problem with cost..

i'm thinking something up to around £350 would be acceptable..

Not much difference from 22" to 24" so save your money and get a bigger size in the future (30" :P).
