Hey, McKie, what difference is there between the old Asus TNs and the new Dell IPS monitors?
Is it really noticeable in terms of color and contrast? Noticeable enough, let's say, to warrant an upgrade if gaming is my priority? I'm trying to decide between the dell P2210 and the dell 2209wa. Any thoughts man? And noticeable enough to warrant $300 more if I'm simpy a college student who would like an eyefinity setup on a budget?
Looks great btw, seems like a nice upgrade.
If you're on a budget I wouldn't go for the 2209WAs because they lack a native displayport connection, which means you'd need to buy a $100 active adapter for Eyefinity. I've heard that VGA adapter might work but haven't played around with it myself.
I think the new Dell 23" IPS are good monitors to get if you can get a discount on them. They also have native displayport and reportedly use the same panel as the more expensive NEC EA231wmi.

The P2210 has native displayport but I believe it uses TN technology.
