The folks at Maximum PC magazine have compiled a roundup of four popular 23 and 24-inch LCD displays in their September 2006 issue. They took a look at the Dell 2407WFP ($850), the Viewsonic VP2330wb ($1.3k), the HP LP2465 ($1k) and the Samsung 244T ($1.1k). Dell’s new 2407WFP beat the competition scoring a 9/10 while the HP scored a paltry 4/10, the Viewsonic a 7/10 and the Samsung scoring a 8/10.
The problem with most was their lack of performance with darker colors (ie, black appearing as gray). Compared to the others in the roundup, the Dell also looked the best. I wonder how the Apple 23-inch HD Cinema Display would have fared with the others, but that particular model is rather old. Hopefully come this week at WWDC, we will see some new Cinema Displays. For the time being, I’m doing just fine with my 20-inch Cinema Display.

I love my 23″ Cinema Display. I’ve been using it for about 10 days and already don’t know how I could have survived at such small resolutions for so long.
Vibrant colors, lovely design. I also looked at the Dell 24″ but decided to go with the ACD because I thought the colors looked brighter.
I am pretty sure for most sizes the Dell and Apple’s are the same screens in different cases.
I think they have similar panels but their controllers are home-built… at least with the last Dell displays.
