I am looking for a monitor that has the capability to tilt forward or 170+ vertical viewing angle. So when I watch a movie from my bed which is lower than my desk I will not hit the problem which all LCD TN panel suffer from.

My BenQ FP241 has some tilt forward, I use it at my desk as I mount my monitor on an elevated stand that the keyboard can slide under. Not a lot of tilt, but it's enough.

Also, being a VA based panel, far superior to a TN, you'd probably like it better... if you can still find them. That's unknown.

Dell has some tilt displays, but not familiar with the angles they support.

Thanks for posting this. I was about to blow 500 on a dell 2408 (maybe a 2410 with a coupon) because of the height/swivel/tilt functionality.

Now, I just need to find another monitor that has the inputs the dell has.

Most monitors have the 4 vesa holes required, the only ones that don't right now are the new LED backlit ones unfortunately.
 
Gateway FHD2400/2401; 2400 has a pretty neat stand tbh (height and some other stuff)

.285 pixel pitch is fairly normal for 24" diag. 1920x1200 (you can't get pixel pitch (ppi) smaller without adding pixels, if you want a finer pitch (say .250), you want a higher resolution to size ratio, try a 22 or 23" 1200p, or something in that realm, although honestly, theres hardly any discernible difference btwxt .285 and .250 (I say this having two monitors with that level of variation happily next to one another, furthermore, I'm guessing thats a mis-rep on newegg, as basically every other 24" on the market is somewhere closer to .275-.279 depending on minor panel variations, honestly wouldn't worry about it))

this acer claims a decent stand:

so does this HP:

The HP is really expensive at about 250€.
That acer b243 sounds interesting. Are there any tests of it? Looked over google but found nothing good
Have found another one ACER h243h. Is it any good? They have it for 200€
 
honestly if you can't get something aside from the Dell that fits your budget (and I'm not saying this as as a dig), grab the Dell

the HP is a bit cheaper than the Dell here, but if its not a price improvement for you, then no reason to ignore the Dell as an option (make sense?)


as far as the Acer, no idea to be honest, just looked for the stand requirements
most Acer displays are decent for the money, but most aren't class leaders

It only has 5degress of tilt forward and not recomended for 24" LCDs. I've seen LCDs come equipped with a -5degree tilt. So paying 50€ just for this stand is overkill.

50 € = $74.32
$42.68 != $74.32.

Also next time try reading the reviews, it fits a 24" monitor easily. Mine has had a 24" monitor on it for a year.

What I meant by expensive was that the HP has TN matrix and poor 160viewing angle but costs 250€. Where that ACER costs about 200€ and also has 160viewing angle along. Where is the justification for 50€ increase in money?
 
U2410 is now on sale for $499 on Dell ($100 off). Not sure what country you're from but check Dell's website.
 
I saw Samsung 2494hm has tilt and the viewing angle. Looked over at prad.de and they say it's good. What you think?
