    Does anyone have Dell's G2410 or 2210 monitor?

    I've been thinking of buying Dell's new G2410 monitor, as it's the first reasonably priced LED backlit monitor I've seen.

    The part that makes me iffy though is that it just uses a TN screen rather than MVA/PVA. I've never seen a TN screen on a large screen that I'd want to use for very long-they're all junk from my experience. Heck, my notebook screen at its BEST looks far worse than my 5 year old MVA/PVA LCD monitor, and viewing it slightly off angle (SLIGHTLY) makes it 10x worse still. My monitors and Sony TV have essentially infinite viewing angle. There's no visible distortion even if you're viewing it from the absolute side.

    So there's the TN panel-I'd gladly pay twice as much (or more) if it was MVA/PVA.
    Then there's the issue of input lag. I have no idea if it has any, but I know some monitors do for some reason. One of Dell's high end 24" monitors from a few years back had some that was noticeable, and unusually high.

    So I guess I'm just looking for feedback. Oh, and is it so-called "glossy"? I hate "glossy" too :-/

    (Wish they had a high end version of this with more inputs, a quality MVA/PVA, and it was known to not have input lag.)
