This is my first major computer purchase, so a lot of the technical jargon confuses me a bit. Any advice will be a great help!!

I'm also going to be buying an XPS 630 to go with the monitor in a couple weeks. I will mainly be using this system for gaming, (mmorpg's and some others) Web browsing, Blu-Ray's and some TV (with a Sling Slingbox AV digital multimedia broadcaster or the equivalent?)

For these applications I'm wondering if the S2409W will do the job as far as picture quality will go. I've been told that the 2408WFP is an outstanding monitor, but It also comes at about $300 more. Please keep in mind that I really don't have the option of seeing both of these monitors in person to decide for myself. I'll be basing most of my decision on what I get from this thread.

If someone could list some of the pro's and con's of these vs each other that would be great! Also, if your listing a bunch of tech specs, please explain a little since I'm still learning a lot about the vocabulary.

Thanks!!!
