So I currently have the HP 2159m 21.5" 1080p display but I want to go bigger now. What should I upgrade to?
 
What's your budget and use? and what size do you want to upgrade too?

I think dell displays are awesome...24inch HD display is for $250-$300
 
Up to $300. I'll be using it for movies/web/graphics and some photo editing. I don't need something professional though.. I would like a glossy display more than matte but I think the best ones will be by HP.. So I think it's between Samsung and HP.
I searched around and came up with the Samsung P2450H - 24" and the HP 2509m - 25"

IMO, for glossy, HP wins. For non glossy, Dell Ultrasharp. The Dell U2410 I think is an IPS display. Little pricey but a beautiful display for much less than the IPS Apple cinema display.
 
There are refurb HPs you can get. Search these forums becuase I've linked a number of displays that were > 23" and under $300.
 
I have it down to the HP 2509m and the Samsung P2450H. I really need help on what to go with please! Thanks.
 
I am too looking to buy the HP2509m. I also like the fact that it will match the whole Apple design with the new MBP. I almost looks like the Apple Cinema Display.
