Now that's what I've been waiting for. Except I didn't wait, and bought a Dell 2409 last month. Oh well, hopefully in a year these'll be 24+ inches and $200 and I'll buy one then. #dellsx2210t
@Brian Richards: Mmm. $470 is a little higher than I would spend, especially when you consider the all-in-one touch computers start around $800. But if it's multi-touch and all that, it might be worth it. #dellsx2210t
@Brian Richards: Huh... that also confirms that it's multi-touch. Cool. Also, why does the article say "We assume the system is IR-based (meaning it's limited to 2 simultaneous touch points)"? Isn't surface also IR based? And it works with 50 points, along with continuous surfaces? #dellsx2210t
shit, for $180 I would much rather just buy a 24" Samsung LCD and hook that up to my macbook pro (and get a $9 Mini DIsplayPort to DVI dongle from monoprice)
I picked up 3 2209WA's last month (22" IPS panels) - for 200 a piece, and I'm glad I did. The 2209WA's have been hard to get for a while - and I guess Dell figured it out finally that people want IPS panels - hence the big jump in price for these 24's.
@CrownSeven: The higher price is due to their using S-IPS instead of E-IPS, which is the gimped version in the 2209. Still better than a TN and some PVA/MVA panels though.
I got the 2409 about a week ago (refurb, $200) and couldn't be happier. Coming from an old 4:3 19" display, it's like a whole different computing experience. Dollar for dollar, I'd say it's the best upgrade you can make.
I never thought Asus had the most attractive panels, but they weren't ugly enough that this would surprise me. On top of that, I thought the image quality was pretty good, though I chose the HP w2007 over it. Let it have HDMI along with DVI, and I'll add it to the maybe list.
Really? Asus makes a great monitor design IMO, their 24" is cheap enough to give away as gifts and it still is pretty good in terms of connections and what not.
@USB_Humping_Dog: According to ASUS, the MS246H/D, MS236H/D and MS226H will have HDMI and D-Sub connectors as well as earphone/audio out, while the MS227N and MS202N/D will have just DVI and D-Sub.
@USB_Humping_Dog: No problem! Personally, I prefer front-facing controls. I frequently have my monitors either side by side or sometimes flanked by bookshelves. Side buttons just make minor adjustments more annoying for me. That's purely aesthetic, though. The biggest concern for me is color purity, since I'm usually doing illustration and photo work.
@met2art: Well, I know what you mean. I work with words in Word so I'm not as demanding (and my dodgy porn requires as little distraction as possible; I can already barely make out the details as it is).

Who needs a donut when you have a bent old CD-ROM case? Can a donut serve as a lovely channel for your cables?
I had to do this to get my 19" to line up with my 15", as it was too high.

@AustinMiniMan: In other news, the base of IC Power 15" monitors is the same size as a DVD case...

I think Asus is making an aggressive move in the Easily-Confused and/or Drunk Computer Shopper market.
