Best Dell 24" LCD?

[Angelus897]

I am looking into getting a Dell 24" display, and have the following options:

Dell S2409W (1920x1080 panel) for $349

Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP (1920x1200 8-bit panel) for $619

I'm going to be using this for gaming and watching high-def content on my PC and my PS3 (via HDMI). We have many of the UltraSharps at my work, and I really like them, but I'm not sure if the extra $300 is worth it when all I'll be doing is gaming/movies. Any advice is appreciated.

The 2408WFP uses much better display technology (S-PVA versus TN), so will have wider viewing angles and better colours and contrast. However, the 2408WFP has one major problem, which is that it has high input lag (delay between what the computer's rendering and what you see on screen), which makes it a bad choice for most gaming, and some people have also said it makes the mouse feel floaty in Windows.

I don't know any specifics about the S2409W though, other than that it's TN.

I've got an A00 at home and it's tolerable, though I'm not a heavy gamer. The A01 is supposed to have improved input lag, and is definitely easier to color calibrate, I just haven't gotten around to swapping mine out.
