The last time I purchased a monitor from dell was when they were having the 2005fpw series. Now it's time for a new monitor preferably a 22-24", but I do not understand their new line of monitors, how is it rated? There is a E and an S and a plain Ultrasharp line. Which one would you recommend overall for movies and gaming and enjoyability? What are the advantages and disadvantages between each series?

It's been awhile since I went monitor shopping. Is there any other brand superior to Dell available?! Thanks for your help guys, it's been a long time since I touched my computer, and now it's time to get back to date with things.

maybe that will help
 
The Ultrasharps tend to have better panels than the TrueColours (for instance, the 24" Ultrasharp 2408 has an S-PVA panel compared to the TrueColour 248 (notice the lack of a 0) is a TN).

If you are a gamer, I would discount the Dell range entirely due to high input lag on the better 24" and the new 30" models.

The Benq 241 is meant to be good for gaming, having an MVA panel with fairly low input lag.
