Dell sp2209wfp worth it ?

[Brownstone]

Hi... im having some trouble deciding if i should get this monitor or not

Right now im using a Dell 2007WFP S-IPS Rev 04 (Works great, no dead pixels and very little back light bleeding... very little)

But since i now got a PS3 hooked up via DVI i hate switching from sources all the time... and no, D-SUB is not an option for the PC since it looks horrible for me

With the sp2208wfp i get HDMI port for PS3 and a 2mpx webcam with microphones

I get to keep the usb ports etc... but, BUT! is it worth it for me going to a TN panel from an S-IPS ? :S I never owned a TN panel so i dont know first hand

Thx!

Get a DVI KVM switch

I would recommend sticking with the 2007WFP and getting an HDMI switch, and the appropriate cables.

Cables from www.monoprice are decent quality and very cheap. They also sell switches that seem to work well.

If you want to not go mail order Best Buy has a Terk CHDMI3 switch that I've used on three different DVI and HDMI monitors that worked great with the PS3. It's not a high quality construct, but at least you know it will work, and if it doesn't, they have their little 30 day return policy.

It will still be cheaper than a TN monitor which frankly, will likely disappoint you compared to a great S-IPS panel (which I know and love from my 2005FPW).

And if it were up to me, I'd take the BenQ G2400W or LG L227Wt over that Dell.
