24 inch 1080p monitor

Time to upgrade to a 24 inch monitor . The 1920 x 1080 panles are pretty reasonably priced and Im interested to hear opinons and suggestions from people who have bought an LCD like this in the last few months
Thanks !

I've been using a BenQ E2200HD (22" 1080p) for a few months and love it. I've had a couple friends buy them after seeing mine. They have been pretty cheap here recently, as low as 150CAD when ya catch a deal.

-maybe I am wrong, but I thought that standard resolution for 24inch monitor panels was 1920x1200? and 23'' have 1920x1080.
 
@ Blackhawk1928: There's a bit of a battle going on: Some are 16:10 (1920x1200) but most manufacturers seem to be moving to the 16:9 1920x1080, aspect ratio for HD compatability.

@Outlander_04: Take a look at Xbitlabs, they have a huge archive of monitor reviews, as does Cnet.

Or they are doing it to inflate their profits, even if ever so slightly.

I know my 1920x1200 screen is perfectly compatible with HD content and in fact is HDCP compliant.
 
Thanks for the xbitlabs tip .

I would actually prefer a 1920 x 1200 monitor but they cost a lot more .
The 1920 x 1080 units are very well priced and I can probably run my favorite games without a gfx card upgrade at that resolution too . The extra pixels on the 1200 high screen would probably be a step too far .

1920 x 1200 = 2304000 pixels

1920 x 1080 = 2073600 pixels

Roughly 11% more pixels means 11 % slower frame rates so the 1080 resolution is my best compromise .The BenQ , ASUS and ACER models are on my shortlist and its great to hear that they are decent monitors even though they are so cheap
Thanks
