    I'm looking to put two 24" monitors side by side. Can anyone recommend several monitors with little space on the sides? (so its less noticeable when the monitors are side by side)

    have you had a look at the on-line pictures at best buy and newegg?

    I seem to remember that toms hardware keeps this stat on their monitor roundups.

    UltraSharp 2408WFP?

    Decent size bezel, but more importantly, S-IPS screens(or was it S-PVA?).

    The Dell 2408WFPs use S-PVA technology.

    Dell makes a good affordable monitor often used in dual/triple setups.

    though if its not for anything special (just office work and such) there are cheaper options out there.

    I'd have a look at the HP 2475w screen, great IPS screen at a VERY good price...for an IPS screen ofcourse ;) The deskstand is ugly as hell but the screen itself is great, pretty small bezel too.

    If you're going to game a lot do NOT get the Dell 2408WFP...pretty bad lag and ghosting issue. How bothersome this is differs from one user to another though.
