I strongly recommend BenQ monitors, I can't provide any links as I got mine in the UK and I assume you're in the US, but they're top-rate and competitively priced.

I own a Hannspree 24" full HD monitor and I'm very satisfied with it.

The reason Dell is charging that much for their display is because their higher end displays use an IPS Panel. You aren't going to find a more cost effective IPS Panel than what Dell offers.

x1200 is pretty hard to come by anymore unfortunately. Newegg shows 191 monitors at 1920 x 1080 and only 18 at 1920 x 1200. Out of that 18, only 14 are in stock and the lowest price 24" is a $300 samsung. There is the hanns g which I do like, but its 27". Even so, my Asus monitor beats the hanns g by a fair bit on quality (I've owned both of the 27" models).

If I was to buy a Monitor today, it would be the Dell U2412M. Its a great all around display and you can get it on their sales for $300-325 usually.
The next pick would be the HP ZR24W or whatever it is, but that costs a bit more.
Unfortunately, the industry is moving slowly to 1080p native support now, which means that 16:10 is done via upscaling. This year a few games did this....
I read that Windows 8 will not do 1920x1200 natively and will upscale to that resolution as well.

awesome. well i'm only interested in 1920x1200 atm. i didn't realize there were so many 24s that didn't do that. i would have specified otherwise if i had. i guess i'll just throw down for a dell again.

Which part about software not doing native 1920x1200 from here on did you miss?

windows 7 does it natively and that's what i'm using atm. so i want one that will support what my current monitor can do. i don't gaf if my monitor after this one is a 1080 pos. i just need to replace my current dell because the goddamn power button broke and i want a working monitor while i take this one apart and see if i can fix it.

Hey Mith then what about the 30" larger rez monitors (2650 x 1600), or hitting up 2+ monitors as 1 desktop/gaming screen? Does not make much sense to me to not support 16:10. Weird.

OMG, are you serious? It's not going to support 1920x1200?

Thankfully nothing forces one to switch to Windows 8. Windows 7 works just fine, and what I've seen from 8 doesn't make me want to switch...

Its the tablet type gui (windows8 snap) that suggests 16:9 should be the best to run on. Made no mention of PCs.

That is about all I could find on it that was not speculation.

Total BS. Windows and any app for it will support any resolution that the OEM makes drivers for and the screen will allow. You won't get the Metro UI unless you are above a certain resolution threashold, but over and above this, there is nothing to see here, move along.

Every windows platform does every resolution "natively" lol? It's kinda inherent like that. Drivers for win?
