Hey guys, I'm looking to get an inexpensive 24" monitor for movies, some games. It will be a secondary monitor and I need some advice.

These are the models I am currently considering:
BenQ G2400W
Westinghouse L2410NM

I am leaning toward the BenQ. digitalversus.com gives shows it testing very well for the price. Let me know if theres anything else I should consider. Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

The BenQ G2400W is great, HDMI and 1:1 Pixel Mapping. Also, switching video sources is super quick.

On that monitor, is DVI and HDMI separate inputs? As in, can I plug my PS3 via HDMI and my computer via DVI and switch between them? If so, sold, I know what I'm buying.

You don't have it yet? Do you have a link to a review where they say that it does it. I believe you, but I don't want to buy it and find out there is a quirk about it (like it costs 5$ to switch, LOL) ;)
 
At [H]ard|Forum there is a thread with a link to a different thread at a different site showing 1:1 pixel mapping. As for the easy switching between sources, a Newegg review stated that (A Newegg review also stated 1:1).

Wow, you would do that. Pictures are what I wanted you to look at, which you did.
