Well, I'm need to get a new monitor soon as I got an opportunity to sell my old Dell 1901FP. I was originally planning on getting the 2407WFP-HC but after reading about this ghosting fiasco, I am looking at other choices. Yes, I read through most of the topics dedicated to these monitors but some of them are moving slowly and I need to make a decision by early next week.

I don't know a whole lot about monitors like different panel types but I am trying to learn. Basically, I've used many Dell lcds over the years at work and they've been great. I've been really happy with my 1901FP for home use since I've had it. I'm not an overly scrutinizing person when it comes to monitors but when my friend bought a Viewsonic at the same time I did, the ghosting was terrible. Here are the monitors I'm debating between:

BenQ FP241W - Probably my top choice right now as I mostly plan on just using the monitor for PC gaming and schoolwork(programming, etc.) and not for consoles or hd-dvd players,etc.

ViewSonic VX2435WM - Haven't heard too much about this one but the reviews seem decent on Newegg.

Samsung 245BW - Wondering why its so cheap when compared to the 244t-BK.

LG L245WP-BN - I've many good comments on the LGs on here but what is the difference between the two?

Also, I read on here that most if not all 22" lcds are cheaper panels. Is this correct for say this Samsung 226BW?

Thanks in advance to any helpful tips/advice or if anyone wants to suggest any other monitors as picking out a display can seem a bit overwhelming at times.

*edit* Just found out that I can wait about a month on selling the old monitor. Do you think the 2407WFP-HC might have a revision fix by then?
 
There are like 50,000 different posts with the same topic. Doesn't anyone understand the concept of the Search function?

Not directed at you.

I have the LG L245 and it is a great monitor.
I think, but not 100% certain, the different with the L246 is purely cosmetic.
 
The Samsung 245BW is a TN 24".

The 245T is an improved 244T. Look into that. It has a wider colour gamut than the rest. (PVA)
