Ok, so I need some info on what to get. I am totally sold on the 2405 by Dell, but I have never seen it live. As far as pictures go, this thing is absolutely beautiful, and nothing else comes even close as far as price is concerned. So I was totally ready to purchase, when my friend from Amsterdam started convincing me to first stay away from widescreen alltogether, second stay away from that specific monitor as there are many KNOWN problems with it. Any truth to any of this?
Anyhow, what is the personal or professional experience here with the 24" WS Dell? Am I gonna be salivating at the mouth or fuming at the ears if I get this thing? And why would my buddy be telling me to not touch widescreen monitors? He says something about them not displaying pixels properly, and distorting pictures (so that when you view a 4:3 picture, it actually looks more like 8:5 and stretched out). This doesn't make any sense to me since a pixel is a pixel when it is displayed, but there may be something to this.
Anyhow, I am here to be talked into or out of buying the 24". Please help.
