Acer 24" vs 2405

Dell seems to have more input options and PiP if those are important to you. Otherwise if you just game, then the Acer might be a better choice, but I haven't read anything about the Acer....

Why?

All the Acer 24" has is a VGA input. The 2405 has so many more inputs (DVI, RCA Video, Component, VGA) plus it has pip and all other goodies.

The Acer only has a single D-Sub, no DVI.

I'm not sure i trust "trustedreviews", since they claim...

" For a monitor that’s capable of 1,920 x 1,200 the lack of DVI is something of a shock, especially as you’d want to maximise quality at this relatively high resolution. Again this compares very poorly with the Dell, which sports, D-Sub, DVI (HDCP compliant), composite, S-Video, and Component. The Dell even shows off with side-mounted card reader slots."​

I'm not sure which Dell monitor they are talking about, as the 2405 isn't HDCP compliant, and the 3007 dosen't have the extra inputs.

From looking around, apparantly, there is a AL2416W that only has the D-sub input, and then there is a AL2416WD that has D-sub, as well as DVI. Both are in stock at various stores, but the AL2416WD isn't listed on Acers site.
 
Ok from acers own website(not some review site)
24" wide-screen TFT LCD, 1920 x 1200 native resolution, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 178°/178° horizontal/vertical viewing angles, VGA and DVI-D connectors, 500 cd/m2 brightness, 6ms gray-to-gray response time, silver color

The unit does have vga and dvi on it. Personaly I would go with the dell so I could hook my game systems into it but the acer seems to be a real nice monitor. If you don't think you will ever use it other then a computer monitor then go for it.
