    So, work have kitted me out with a 24" Dell LCD

    .... my god. I have used 24" LCDs before but never a Dell, its just a huge step up from any LCD I have ever used before. Its the 2407wfp-HC and its stunning!

    Time to ditch the 2 x 22" Samsungs at home I think!

    ahh yes it's one of the S-PVA panels, they are supposed to be able to reproduce a very high colour range, and still have better viewing angles than a TN panel.
    They are EOL AFAIK so tring to get hold of them is near impossible now.

    They have been replaced buy the £200 ST2410 TN panel, so not as good colour or viewing angles and the £585 U2410, IPS Panel so good colour and even better viewing angles but the cost

    Yes, it’s nice for everything except games. It replaced my 20” Samsung at the time and I agree, it was a notable improvement over the previous screen. In games (very noticeable in WoW) it can suffer from inverse-ghosting. If you Google it I’m sure you’ll find suitable links.

    I accidentally scratched mine along the bottom and right side (about 10-15cm long but millimetres from the edges) using a crappy duster (insert lots of swearing). I tried to live with it for a few months but it drove me buts so replaced it with the Dell 3008. Got to say, it was worth it in the end, the 3008 is a notably superior monitor.

    Since it’s hard to sell any monitor with a scratch I gave it to a mate. Haven’t heard any complaints from him though .

    The 2408 update corrected the inverse-ghosting problem I mentioned above and improved in several areas. Quite a well regarded model if I recall correctly. I think the current model is the U2410 but not sure if it’s better or worse.

    Recommended the U2410 to a friend - IPS panel i believe and TFT central looked favourably upon it.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Nice. And you especially cant grumble seeing as work have presumably given it to you for free Just revel in the screen real estate - dead useful for graphic design and coding.
