When you say the colors are popping what settings are you using? Are you using one of the pre-set modes or custom? Also, it's not clear in your post but when you say it has significant off angle white glow I'm assuming you are talking about the 2209wa as that's one of the characteristics of IPS panels?
Having owned both the PX2370 and XL2370 which one would you pick and why? Both seem to be so similar that I think it's going to come down to personal preference and maybe $$.
Off angle viewing used to bother me greatly as I felt it affected immersiveness when gaming, as it had the ability to pull you back to reality so to speak but have since changed my tune and am willing to put up with it for the faster response time and more vibrant colors. I recently picked up an L227WTG as gaming is my main concern but even day to day surfing is a joy. I don't know if it's selective memory or if this unit is indeed better than the first one I owned but the viewing angles definitely seem better this time around. In fact if I wasn't looking for a monitor to double as a console display this is the monitor I would stick with until OLED comes out. This current gen of LCD technology is all about making compromises anyways.
I think I left everything at standard settings. Iused the normal color tone and set brightness at 50. This thing is very bright. The px2370 has some bad off angle white glow. Way worse than the 2209wa. I think this just a product of the viewing angles though. Straight on it was pretty good. The backlight is very uniform. Not as good as the 2209wa but I would call it good.
I don't really think there is much difference in image quality between the px2370 and the xl2370, but the viewing angle seem to be a bit better. I would go for the px2370 over the xl2370. I like the styling better.
I just hooked my xbox up to it and it looks and performs very well.
If you need a fast response and are doing alot of gaming then go with it. I do not game much at all on my pc.
For me I would rather have better viewing angles and color reproduction. I just ordered a dell 2709w for 624+tax shipped from dell. It is a huge bump is size and I don't know if I will like it but I'm going to give it a try. I didn't like the u2410 as its AG coating is way to aggressive giving it a grainy look. PVA panels aren't near as agressive.
Anyway hope I helped.
