I have one, and while i've never played with the 2405 in person i have played with a few of dells older LCDs and i can say i honestly love my ACD. Only games i've played is 'GooBall' (some dumb 3d mac game 
) and 'Warcraft3' and they both played and looked amazing. The cut scenes in Warcraft3 were beyond words. The LCD is very bright i usually keep it at about 1/2 or 2/3 brightness unless i'm watching a dvd. I've only watched a few DVDs and they also look amazing.
I was also in your shoes about whether to get the 2405 or the 20in ACD. What made my mind up is the apple store 15minutes from my house. If something ever went wrong with a dell monitor i'd have to worry about shipping that shit back. My 20in ACD if something goes wrong i drive 15min drop it off and wait for them to fix it. Drive 15min and its mine again.

Are you serious? The contrast you'll get at useable brightnesses is hardly better on the 2405. This applies to the black issue. The viewing angle isn't any better. In fact, I've heard that it was worse on this model. While many IPS's exibit very faint purple tinting, I have yet to see it on any of the newer LG S-IPS monitors. The PVA has extremely poor GtG response times and the color rendition and accuracy generally stinks.
The one thing that the 2405 has going for it is price. If it cost as much as the 23" S-IPS displays noone would be buying.

I'm using ACD 23" on my Windows machine and it is great.
Seriously, though, no matter what others say, just go with whatever you think is best for you.

I rang up today and got qouted £648 rang back up at 4:50 but the extension was busy so i left a message and he hasnt got back so looks like i got to wait till monday and hope the deal is still on. He did qoute me the price and said he would hold one for me so hopefully he will till monday. Also what did you say to get it down to £610 cuase he wouldnt budge for me
just managed to order mine and he sent a quote even tho i gave him my credit card info etc. Said to sign it and email it back but on the quote it says they will process the order as soon as they recieve the payment which they have. So will delay sending this signed quote back delay my actual order time?
Cheers
