No difference.

But T240 is a TN panel, 2407 is a S-PVA panel, which is a 8bit panel and has better viewing angles and all the bells and whistles.

If you can afford it, 2407, but if you do game a lot, based on my readings, the 2407 has significant input lag during FPS games and bothers a lot of people.

it doesnt bother me much

its just that on certain condition (ie grey background with red line)
that you see the ghosting quite apparent

other than that it is barely noticeable

well one truly great about s-pva is the viewing angle
use to have a tn-panel
and it really

now
when my brother is watching hk-dramas
i can also join in at an angle of >70 degree from straight centre

hmm, but do any of (Dell 2407WFP-HC and Samsung T240 or HP W2408H) supports the component input (like the PS2/PSP/PS3/Xbox 360), Any converter needed?

thanks for the fast reply guys really appreciate it.

Get a Dell 2408WFP.
It has all the component inputs u need.
My friend is running it on an Xbox 1st Gen.

The 2407WFP iirc also has component input.

No converter is needed.

2408, 3008 n 2709 supports 1080p via component too

but do 2407WFP-HC supports 1080p via component?

i do notice that samsung t240 is supporting component but does it supports 1080p?

Anyone here try to bring their consoles (xbox 360, ps3 etc) to the shop and test it on ur prefer monitors? So that you know which monitor fits ur consoles the best. I'm just curious whether i can do that or not?

Arrhhhh, please help me decide on BenQ, HP, Dell (all 24" model), which one should i buy to play my ps3 on it?

I dont want to help you decide but I can recommend you Benq G2400W, I'm using this monitor on my pc, ps3 (mainly) and pretty soon xbox 360 over hdmi, xbox 360 over vga are not so good with this monitor. This most important factor bout this monitor was is scale the output very well. Whether it is 16:10 or 16:9 - check end user feedbacks here ( http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1237718 ) Sumore it is selling very cheap now..

You might want to consider the Dell S2409W also but I can't comment much yet.. coz so far the feedbacks are mild only.


Below is my monitor, scaling at 1920x1080.. if you cannot bare with the two black bar horizontal black bar then just get a true 1920x1080 monitor. The most important thing before you buy any 24" monitor must check their scaling abitility first.

Guys is the dell 2409W good for movie watching and gaming (for WoW)?
I think its relatively reasonable for its price but looking at its specs of just 1000 contrast ratio makes me wonder if its any good.

this is why I'm asking people to hold their horses.. before purchasing this Dell S2409W ww...
