Best replacement 24" 1920x1200

[mathieumg]

I had this monitor but it broke last night: Samsung SyncMaster 245B 24IN Widescreen Black LCD Monitor 1920X1200 3000:1 5MS VGA DVI HAS (Edit: It seems we can no longer link to THAT website around here!)

I'm looking for a similar replacement today!

I don't need speakers or usb hubs on my monitor. The only things it needs to have are 24" of goodness, a 1920x1200 native resolution and a DVI port. I use it for programming, gaming, browsing, watching Blurays, etc. What would the best bang for the buck be nowadays? I haven't been reading much about this in the last few years!

Thank you very much in advance!

HP ZR24W might be worth a look. Low lag IPS, as I remember the 245BW was low lag too.

If you can wait the Dell U2412M is around the corner, and a little later the Samsung S24A850DW is too. These are all 1920x1200 IPS/PLS screens.

I'd recommend the HP ZR24W as well.

I have the HP ZR24W, and returning it to go back to TN because I don't like the IPS glow. Also HP have text sharpness issue because it is applying some sort of sharpness algorithm to the text.

You can get more info about the HP text issue here:

I have own two HP monitors, ZR24W and 2711x, both exhibit the same problem.

Thank you all for the advice! After consideration, I decided to hold on before switching over to IPS. Thus, I will be going for a 2443BW which is a great bang for the buck and still an improvement from what I had, from my understanding.
