			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can&#8217;t believe I spent all the hours after work looking up 24&#8243; LCDs. Yes, it&#8217;s true&#8230; the 17&#8243; KDS has outlived its usefulness. I need to place a large emphasis on having a large enough canvas to paint my beautiful code on. Plus, ergonomics are fast becoming priority #1. Definitely need a separate display next to the MacBook Pro.</p>

<p>Why 24&#8243; you ask? Price point is around the mid- to high-level range. I remember paying more than $500 for my 17 inch. For another 5 years of good usage (hopefully), I&#8217;m willing to pay about $600 or so. Another reason is because the resolution that 24&#8243; that come at (1900~1920&#215;1200) is just enough to support 1080p. Also, that&#8217;s the max resolution that a single-link DVI can support&#8230; and one day, if I do need two of these suckers&#8230; I can pull the trigger with my MacBook Pro. (<a href="http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/gxm/products/dh2go/digital/home.php" title="Matrox Graphics - GXM - Products - DualHead2Go Digital Edition">DualHead2Go</a> FTW)</p>

<p>But geez&#8230; so much research left to do, even after hours of searching tonight. Dell 2407WFP, Samsung 244T, and Benq FP241WZ seem to be the three contenders in the field of 24&#8243;-ers. The tales of A01 to A04 revisions of the Dell 2407&#8230; how the 2405 was actually better at one point due to the 8 bit vs the 6 bit screens&#8230; gamuts&#8230; Samsung&#8217;s input lag on their 244T&#8230; the different types of LCDs used in these suckers&#8230; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD" title="TFT LCD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia">TN, IPS, MVA, PVA</a>&#8230; Warranty on Dead Pixels (Samsung&#8217;s definitely winning on this one)&#8230;
So&#8230; many&#8230; acronyms&#8230;</p>

<p>My eyes are going to bleed. At least, I&#8217;m a little bit more knowledgeable in this area now. Somehow&#8230;</p>
