Which 24" LCD would be the best choice?
The only thing i can tell is the price difference but if you lcd monitor experts can help me decide which is the best that would be great. My main purpose of the monitor will be for my ps3 which i will be using hdmi connection and also as a second monitor for my laptop, since i will be doing alot of music and video studio work.

Without doubt go for Sony Bravia! if price is not a concern you can opt for samsung lcd's too.

Viewsonic is a good brand and two of my roommates use Viewsonic monitors. I'm using a 22in Westinghouse monitor right now and it's great. Since both the Westing and Viewsonic have the same specs, I'd go with the cheaper one; the Westing looks better anyways. The BenQ is 2ms faster than the other two, so thats nice. I've owned a BenQ monitor and it served me very well. You can't go wrong with any of the 3, and they all have good ratings on newegg, but the BenQ and Viewsonic will break your bank. If money isn't really an issue, then have you considered going with Samsung? Their monitors are one of the best in my opinion. Have fun!

I would recommend BenQ Inc. BenQ FP241W Black 24" 6ms(GTG) DVI Widescreen HDMI LCD Monitor 500 cd/m2 1000:1 - Retail Windows Vista Certified Technically Benq because of its width array of input options, and warranty.

There really is no best LCD. IMO LCD is one of the worst technologies to be delivered to the market. There are just way too many faults with the technology that outweigh the benefits. Overall though..When it comes to LCD's you have to purchased based on your needs and it takes quite a bit of research if you are dead set on getting the best LCD for your money. If you want to read around on lots of in depth reviews and HELPFUL customer based opinions...head over to this site. http://www.hardforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=78 They have tons of dedicated official threads for many LCD's. Also you can read on why no LCD is perfect....Main reason though fyi is that every LCD has a strength and a weakness. There is no LCD with everything all around perfect. So you really need to purchase based on it's strenghts that suit your needs. Just look around there and you'll find your answer...Also make sure you read into the differences of TN, PVA/MVA, and IPS panels..You can find that on the page as well. It's stickied towards the top....Here's the link just incase you don't see it http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1039222 That should help you understand the difference as well. If you want you can scroll down to the bottom of that page and there's a link to TFTcentral..Another fantastic site that gets in depth. Hope this helps you out. Make sure you research!...LCD's require it unfortunately. Last thing you want is to purchase something you can't return that ends up being poor. Good luck ^_^...Hopefully you won't get any dead pixels...

I'm with Kamr00z ^^^ LCD's are shite. Aside from lower power use and smaller size, they have NO advantage over flat CRT's. At least you're looking at 24" panels. 22" and smaller are crap as they are TN panels.

Obviously the last 2 posters haven't thought about how LCD's save space on a desk. Who wants a clunky CRT when a LCD will save you a lot more space and deliver great performance(not as good as CRT). The pros outweigh the cons.
