You can also consider the Samsung 245T, which is an excellent 24" PVA monitor with parity to the 2408WFP in respect to connectivity options.

My suggestion would be to hold off until the A01 comes out in little over a month.

 

I couldn't hold out and bought the 2408 anyway.  If mine has any of the problems, I'll just exchange it for the A01 once it comes out.  I can deal with the problems for a month.  Or maybe I'll get lucky and mine won't have any problems.  My monitor should be here today or tomorrow :).  I'll post back how it is.

I wouldn't buy it, since the input lag is still very high on this one. They are using the same panel, infact.

They are supposedly addressing the input lag issue with the A01 rev.  If you need minimal input lag I'd probably hold off and wait to see what reports on the rev A01 are.

 

Or take the gamble and buy one and hope they get the input lag issue resolved, then get it exchanged.

I doubt the input lag will be drastically reduced.

 

Did you know the 2408WFP has the HIGHEST input lag compared with other 24"s? 

I just got mine all hooked up (not bad for standard shipping and having ordered friday!).

 

The input lag is noticable, but perfectly acceptable for me.  I have no problem making precise mouse movements and doing so quickly.

 

Unfortunately, mine does suffer from a red/pink tinge.  It's especially noticable on the left, bottom of the screen when looking at a white background.  I'll be upgrading to the A01 and hopefully it fixes it.  Other than that it's really nice.  I don't really notice the tinge unless i'm on an all white screen.

I'd hold off.  After some more testing, I've found the following issues with mine.

 

1. Backlight bleeding from all 4 corners towards the center of the screen.  The top corners are worse than the bottom.

2. Red tinge in lower left corner of screen.

3. 1 stuck pixel, way off to the left, but a stuck pixel none-the-less.

4. Not enough granularity for sharpness control

5. I have pretty bad banding on gradient tests, but I believe this is video card related as it got worse after I upgraded video drivers (radeon 9800 pro).

Have you tried looking at dark backgrounds on the 2408WFP in a dimly lit room?

I think you will notice a substantially brighter left side of the monitor. It is most visible with dark, uniform backgrounds like dark grey or dark red/brown. (It's not visible on black backgrounds, as it isn't a backlight bleed problem, but VA washout).

That's one more to add to your list.

(Personally I have no issues with the minimal backlight bleed in the corners of the 2408WFP as it's completely invisible during normal use and only noticeable on a completely black screen in a dark room - on my unit at least).

 

I haven't tested with dark greys, browns, or reds.  I tested with bright reds, but didn't notice anything.  I'll check tonight when I get home and see if I notice the problem.

 

With the exception of the red/pink tinge issue, I can live with everything else.  Unfortunately, I can't stand seeing that and will be exchanging it once A01 comes out which will hopefully address this issue.

 

(I was able to get better granularity of sharpness using softMCCS and it looks much better now.)

Here's another test...

 

Do you see any green tinting on any of these images?
