Best widescreen LCD monitor

[merid]

ok so i'm looking to get a new lcd monitor that i will be doing a little bit of everyhting. the main thing is that when i watch moives i want it to not look too bright or too dark. i want blacks to look black and greys to look grey and whites to look white. I'm also a gamer. i spend alot of time in front of my monitor and i dont want to have painful eyes. i know i'm asking alot but there are alot of monitors out there 😛 i dont have alot of money but i'd like to see what kind of price i'm looking at. Please just make suggestions. thanks

One of the best reasonably priced displays is the Dell 2407FPW, currently $679 direct, incl 3 yr manufacturer warranty.

does anyone have one of these that they could give me some feedback on it? what do movies look like (from differnt angles)? because i want to be able to sit back 8 ft from my monitor and watch x3 in all its glory from any angle and without the black areas just being all black and no detail.

I have the 2405FPW and it is awesome...

Some 2407 reviews...

Sure, but most of the price drop has occured... but gradually it will drop a bit more...

By the way, the native res of that Dell is 1920x1200. I doubt you are going to be able to play games in your native res on your video card. Just something to consider!
