Not all Dell panels are the same. The 2407WFP is more of their premium line, whereas the E228WFP is a cheaper model. I'd stay away from the cheaper panels, but the "Ultrasharp" models are typically quite decent. Of course, I'd never buy a cheap display anyway. :)

I was looking at the Radeon X1950 Pro AGP as an upgrade (a final one since this is an AGP system) However, I was concerned about upgrading my PSU and also if the performance gain would be that substantial. OK so Dell panels aren't so bad then? You suggest 2407WFP Bryan suggested the 226BW. I don't mind (in fact I expect to) paying for a quality panel. -- Regards, joeuser - Still looking for the 'any' key...
