Request: 24" LCD Recommendation (lots of options)

[Purostaff]

So, apparently by brother was also looking to buy an 24" LCD as well.

He's pretty much open for anything, but here are the option so far:

BenQ G2400W ($379.99 shipped w/ google checkout) http://www.buy.com/retail/product.a...43420&Type=PE&Category=Comp&Gad=0&dcaid=15889

LG L245WP-BN: ($589.99 shipped) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005089&Tpk=l245wp

BenQ FP241W ($463.50 shipped) http://superdigitalmedia.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=11&products_id=2358

BenQ FP241VW ($415.50 shipped) http://superdigitalmedia.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=11&products_id=2372

Samsung 245BW ($324.75 shipped (technically $450 due to site's regulation)) http://superdigitalmedia.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=11&products_id=2372

Gateway FHD2400 ($396.75 shipped (technically $450 due to site's regulation)) http://superdigitalmedia.com/product_info.php?products_id=2365

NEC MultiSync LCD2470WNX-BK ($561.75 shipped) http://superdigitalmedia.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=89&products_id=2455

In my opinion, I think the LG L245WP is arguably the best out of all, but the price is too steep right now

The videocard he will be using is the same as mine ( nvidia 8800gtx ) with only DVI output.

Lastly, anyone know if superdigitalmedia site can be trusted? Are those items refurbished or something (although they said their items are 'fresh' in the site info? They're extremely cheap.

So, what do you guys think is the best bang for the bucks?

From the reviews that I have been reading before I bought my monitor and from my personal experience after I bought my Samsung 245BW, I have to say that its the best out of that batch. It was absolutely perfect, I have completed Crysis, Call of duty 4, Command and Conquer Tiberium Wars and Need for Speed pro street on it during my holidays and it was absolutely stunning. There was no tearing, response perfect and the colour representation was superb. It really matched the reviews that I was reading about before I bought it. Samsung's dead pixel policy is really great too, you can return it even if there is one dead pixel so yeah.
