It's not going to make much of a difference unless you're a heavy gamer or picky with these sorts of things. It's a reliable display ...
Hmm.. I may sort of be worried now.
For the immediate future, the 2408WFP would be used with the 1.83ghz C2D Mac Mini I'm planning on picking up on Monday from Craigslist. This is going to be our secondary computer for the house who's main purpose is going to be use on the go, serving a Samsung Samsung SCX-4521f printer, etc. Wouldn't really be used much since all of us have our primary laptops.
I'm planning on keeping this in our den on the main level and lately, my brother's always in there playing some game - I think Counter Strike - off his MacBook which is the latest one... the 2.4ghz w/ the backlight, he bought it in late October. He plays in there as opposed to his room upstairs because he needs the desk and stuff.
So I was recently thinking I could get a little more mileage out of this Mac Mini if I told my brother to just go ahead and use this Mac Mini for his Counter Strike, booting up in XP or Vista or whatever whenever he wanted to play and then resetting back to Leopard whenever he was done. But apparently if this monitor isn't the best for gamers, then perhaps I should look into something else? Apparently he's particular about his monitors - I remember when he got his new PC that came with an LCD, he gave me the LCD and kept using an old CRT. We had a fire at our old house a few months ago and both his monitor and computer were gone, but I think we have another old Dell 17" CRT monitor somewhere.. but I'm not sure how easy that is to hook up with a newer computer.
