    If you are looking for a display for graphical work, especially photography, don't look at TN panels. Rule of a thumb. Maybe a fist.
    Seriously, the viewing angles on TN panels are horrible narrow. Unless you are able to fix yourself in one seating position for all time whilst working on graphical content.
    Stretch yourself a little and you won't regret. My 24" of pleasure made by DELL is just delight. Now I can see what I have been producing in last few years! :D

    Nope, if it is 24" below €400, it has to be TN - no way.
    Get a loan, good display with few years warranty is worth it.

    dell does a nice 24inch with an i-ps 8bit panel

    I think it costs around 600euro, mine was 850 at the time I bought it .
    Ultrasharp WFP2408 is what I have

    The 2408WFP are a fantastic monitor. I've owned a few of these in the past and found them to be perfect for photo editing. The older 2407WFP-HC is also very good and come up from time to time on Adverts.ie. Apple Cinema displays are also very good...if somewhat expensive. I've been running a Dell 30" 3008WFP for the last couple of years and am very impressed by it's performance.

    There are a couple of different technologies for lcd panels. some are just variants/improvements on the other.

    The basic ones are:

    TN - good response time,poor viewing angles,poor colour accuracy
    PVA -good viewing angles, very good colour accuracy, slower response time
    IPS - best viewing angles,colour accuracy, better response time than PVA type screens.

    There are variants of these - MPVA, SPVA,S-IPS,H-IPS etc.

    http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/ have reviews and a Buyers FAQ section.
    They also have a search facility to see what type of panel is in a particular screen.
    http://www.flatpanelshd.com/panels.php have a similar search facility.

    You can also calibrate your display with a Spyder or equivalent.
