UPS has killed the second monitor I have sent in for a repair. The first time was with a NEC 2141 and this time it was my FW900 that I sent to Accurate IT.

DON'T SHIP MONITORS THROUGH UPS!!! Fool me once shame on UPS, fool me twice ... you can't fool me twice!! (favorite GW Bush quote :) )

Anyways I've given up on buying refurbished screens as I always find some problem with them, either scratches, dead phosphors, horrible geometry, etc. I'm now in the market to purchase the one thing I never wanted: an LCD. I still cringe after hearing those letters but once you go widescreen you don't go back, so I need one now.

This monitor is for only gaming, I'm looking for a 24" with the fastest response and least input lag possible. I have a budget of around $800. My prime candidate is the Dell 2407.

Any help would be appreaciated. :)
 
Fed-Ex is a LOT better for shipping big stuff. Cheaper too.

Yeah... I'm never using UPS again for anything.


Right when I get my check for the shipping insurance (~$711) I'm buying a new monitor. I think I really don't have much of a choice other than the 2407. It is in my price range, no input lag and decent response times and it's 24".

The vertical banding will be annoying though.

Poor FW900... :(
