Gizmodo: 24-inch

People who want big screen space without having to buy a wide desk to support it can take a look at this BenQ V2400W, which is the world's slimmest 24-inch widescreen monitor. It's apparently more than 21% slimmer than the next slimmest monitor at 2.44 inches, and has a 4000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio and 1080p HD support. Two and a half inches. Thinner than most of the stuff we've got dangling around. [Far East Gizmos]

AUO's 24-inch, 16:9 LCD Display is World's First Truly "Widescreen" Monitor

Jason Chen — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 17:00:21 EDT

College students and people who enjoy watching movies on their computers will enjoy this AU Optronics 24-inch monitor, which is the world's first 16:9 aspect ratio display for your desk. Why would you want something that's 16:9 as opposed to the slightly narrower ratio that traditional "widescreen" desktop monitors have? Because 16:9 is the ratio many HDTV programs and movies are filmed in, and this AU set will get you a native 1080p display. Other details: CCFL-lit display (not LED), 1000:1 contrast ratio, and various different size displays coming soon. Is a 16:9 aspect ratio display worth it just to not have black bars when watching a movie? Probably not unless you're a nut that hates black bars. [Electronista]

Eizo has brought out the SX2461W-U, a 24-inch monitor aimed at the color-blind. It's got 1920 x 1200 resolution, and a contrast ratio of 850:1 and brightness of 300 cd/m2. Rather like their previous 19-incher, the Eizo uses Color Universal Design (CUD) technology, which uses different color schemes and shapes to enable the daltonic to distinguish between colors. Input comes from a pair of HDCP-enabled DVI jacks, and there are a couple of USB 2.0 ports. The Flexscan SX2461W-U, costs 136,000, or $1,257 and comes out on December 6. [Cudo and Akihabara News]

New 24-inch NEC HDMI LCD Monitor (LCD24WMCX)

Brian Lam — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 10:55:11 EDT

NEC's Accusync 24-inch LCD24WMCX monitors with an HDMI input has 1920 x 1200 set for 1080p support, 400 nits of brightness, 5ms refresh, and 1000:1 contrast ratios. Not a bad monitor for the dorm room or studio apartment, at least until Dell comes out with a cheap, high performance HDMI equivalent. Electronista has more info on 22 and 19 inch models, but you won't get more than native 1080p res on those. [Business Wire]

Dell 2407 24-Inch Display Draws Complaints

Charlie White — Tue, 16 May 2006 12:17:11 EDT

Users are reporting trouble with Dell's model 2407wfp and 2407fp 24-inch LCD displays, complaining about video banding on the screens. Some have reported that the problem occurs when using DVI connections, adding that all is well when connecting to the display's analog VGA connections.

Dell denies any reported problems, but we've noticed that the 2407 model is not available for purchase on any of Dell's US-based websites. However, we did notice that the Dell 30-inch monitor with that same new style as the 2407 is still on sale.
