Heya everyone. First time poster here, and I have a few questions about this NEC 24" LCD

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824002359&Tpk=ASLCD24WMCX

I notice that the only reviewer said that it is a TN panel. Seeing as it's $500.00, is it really worth it seeing as its a TN? Or could I find a IPS or VA panel for around that much? I really don't want to spend more than $500.00 on my panel.

I currently have a 19" TN panel, and am not bothered at all by the viewing angles. The only time I really notice it is when I recline my chair back all the way. Would I be able to notice the viewing angle more on the 24"?

Thanks

Edit:

Found this one, for less money and it's a SPVA panel. Only downside to both of these, are the built in speakers. I don't need them, and I suspect that those are just driving up the price. Could you recommend a PVA panel that wouldn't have ghosting problems in games, no built in speakers, and fits right around my budget? $450-550.00

You won't find THE (only NEC LCD2490wuxi) 24" IPS for under $1K new. Your best bet is a 24" VA like you selected, if you require anything larger than a 20".
 
I love my 24" 2470WNX Nec,and have had no issues with it.I recently had the warranty extended for 4 years from the default 3.

Excellent picture quality,and it looks damn good as well. :cool: I got mine for 839 Cdn in the Early Spring of 07. I'd try to stay far away from off brands like the second link.
 
Hmmm...Looked at the Double Sight website and it looks like the panel used is the Samsung 24" SPVA. Could I assume from that information that the panel used on the DoubleSight 24" is the same panel used in the Samsung 244T?

Or are there many more panels out there that this thread didn't mention?

Just that information alone does not mean it uses the same panel, but TFT Central lists it as having the same LTM240M2 panel as the 244T.
 
Here's a previous thread on the LCD24WMCX where I posted my impressions.

I have my LCD24WMCX set up next to my NEC 2470WNX. I still need to get the monitors lower on the desk to mitigate the TN panel issues on the 24WMCX, but even as it is, it's pretty nice.

The reason I went with the 24WMCX as my secondary display (displacing a 20" NEC 20WMGX2) is the inputs and aspect control. Not only does it take Component up to 1080p, HDMI, DVI-D, and DSUB, it lets you adjust aspect ratio on all four. You can choose to fill the screen, maintain aspect, or go with 1:1 mapping. As I connect a PS3, 360, and gaming computer along with my main desktop's secondary display to this monitor, the versatility comes in handy. However, I wouldn't spend more than $500 on it. You can get it from onsale.com for $472, shipped UPS Ground. That's where I bought it, although it was $480 at the time and I used $35 two-day shipping as I wanted to be sure of getting it before the holidays. I placed my order in the wee hours of the morning on Wednesday, they called in the afternoon to verify my shipping and billing (different addresses and like an idiot I hadn't reset the shipping address on my CC), then shipped it out on Thursday. Got it on Monday. UPS Ground probably would've had it here on Thursday.

My LCD2470WNX is a nicer monitor for PC-oriented work, but the 24WMCX is nice for gaming and consoles. If I had to choose just one, I'd stick with the 2470, but it is $250 more.
