Looks good. It's been around for 18+ months or so, does that make it old generation? Price not too shabby though.

What about the Philips 234el2sb. With LED seems nice.

Thanks, will check out the review.

I suspect they would use similar panels from the Samsung T260 - also 25.5" 16:10, as we know. They were also around that time.

I recently bought a Samsung BX2450. Its pretty awesome.

This monitor doesn't have DVI though... What's the work around?

Anyone know if you would be able to use this monitor in a triple monitor setup, with AMD Eyefinity? Or if there is a similar one that could work?

The Asus VW266H reviews make the screen seem good enough. But I do know it's still not much of an upgrade from my current screen. Decent review here - http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/gpu_displays/asus_vw266h_monitor_review/1.

Since there are no TN LCDs in 24" that are 16:10, it would look like it's a toss up between the Asus VW266H 26" TN LCD @ R3000 and the HP ZR24W 24" IPS LCD @ R4200.

It's hard to justify spending R4200 on a 24". I don't know whether my experience would be much better or not.

I do use the PC a lot for work, games, a bit of photography etc. It would be nice knowing that everything would be displayed more accurately. Perhaps that justifies it?
