last monitor i purchased was a Dell 2407WFP, sold that a year or so ago as i started using my laptop for games and films etc. What is the equivelent make/model now? At the time the 2407 was perceived to be one of the best, especially for games.

Budget??
I assume you want to stay with a 24" monitor??
Does it need to be colour accurate?
If you don't mind going for a slightly smaller monitor you can get the 23" Dell U2311H for under £200:

It uses an e-IPS panel. However it is a 16:9 ratio monitor unlike the Dell 2407WFP.
If you don't mind going for lower colour accuracy then the 24" BenQ XL2410T which has a TN panel is worth considering.
Yes, prefer to stick with 24" as its just right for viewing distance etc. I play FPS games so speed is more of a consideration but i love to watch films so need some kind of compromise. Budget is less than £200 if possible. I will have a look at the BenQ, thanks.
The BenQ is over £250 and any 24" monitors under £200 will use TN panels. The Dell 2407WFP used either an S-PVA or S-IPS panel.
Edit!!
There is the is also the BenQ EW2420 which uses a A-MVA panel for under£200:

However,the Dell U2311H is a better monitor and the EW2420 does have a few quirks it seems:

The Benq BL2400PT uses the same panel and has a much better stand and you can turn the monitor through 90 degrees if you want.Quote:

I've got one and am very pleased with it, so it's worth a look.
