Which is the better monitor?

Budget, as well as specifics of use may help members give useful information. ;) :)

I've never seen a BenQ, so I can't really say. :(

The Dell seems to be good for the money, if you can get it a a good price. Other forum members who got one seemed to like it. :) From use, my experience is primarily with NEC and Eizo Nanao for high end monitors.

Well, budget wise, as long as it's around $600 max is good. And I'd like it to be 24". I was mainly just interested in picture and color clarity. I'd use it as a monitor for my Mac, and also as a screen for my 360.

I know there's a difference in the types of screens they use for monitors, and was hoping to get some info on that.

I was leaning toward the Dell because of it's multiple inputs, and the usb ports, and card readers, but if the BenQ offers the better picture I'd probably end up going with it instead.

At your budget, S-PVA is about the limit on panel type at a 24". So from what you've given as limits, the Dell 2408WFP would be a decent choice I should think. ;) :D

Look around carefully, as I've seen them for $500USD or so. Try amazon.com. :)
 
I believe the dell is the better monitor. Their ultrasharp monitors are very nice.
 
How about this HP? It uses an S-IPS screen and is about $650 on HP's site. What do you guys think about that? Good monitor?

I've not seen it, but I did find a review. :)
Seems decent, but apparently needs a lot of adjustment, preferably with a colorimeter to get it set properly. ;)
