Generic 28" or Quality 24"?

I came across around $400, and looking to buy a new monitor.

Either 28" HannsG or a quality 24". Whats the best 24" for around $400? I'll be using it for mostly gaming, watching movies, and surfing the net. Nothing professional (except my CS:S skills :D)

UPDATE: I bit on the 28". I'll let you know how it is.
 
I think you will have a hard time trying to find a "quality" 24" for "around $400." I was one of the unfortunate souls who purchased a 2408wfp only to return it for a full refund a few weeks later. I am still looking for a monitor to purchase but nothing has caught my eye lately. Anyway, I think you should increase your budget if you want a "quality" monitor. I am thinking $800 is my limit.
 
Get a quality BenQ 24". With a bigger monitor that's not "quality," you'd notice how bad the picture was even more.
 
Bought the Hannsg 28 inch a couple of weeks ago in the UK.

All I can say is its the best money I've ever spent on my PC.

Too many people on forums with money to burn and bionic eyes all having a moan about it being a TN panel.

Yeah its TN but if you have to go looking for the problems regarding viewing angles etc then is there really a problem.

At the price it is second to none.

Would buy another if my desk had room for it.:)
 
Given your situation I would have to recommend you go with the 24" rather than the 28".

it offers a better pixel pitch so your image will look sharper, the 1900x1200 resolution is pretty standard and all modern video cards are very capable at that rez. also 24" offers an amazing variety of inputs making the screen very versatile; vga, dvi, hdmi, composite, and more are commonly found on the back. if you go with the 28" your liable to find a lonesome DVI
 
From now till 9/30, BenQ has the FP241VW (VA screen) for $449 with a promo code (FP241VW50).
