I bought a sweet Dell 24" monitor last year (2408WFP) and totally fell in love with it. Then in May, I packed it up and put it in storage for the summer. I bought a 2010 MBP with the high res screen this summer while I was at home...I just moved into my new apartment and set up the Dell display, and my first thought was, "wow, this looks like crap!" It looks incredibly pixelated compared to the screen on my MBP. I had to go into the Display menu to verify that it was in fact running at 1920x1200 like it's supposed to.
Anyway, the point is, the new high-res screen on the MBPs totally kicks a**.

(Oh, and don't even get me started on how awesome the Retina display is...
