Hi,
It has been about 6 years since I last bought a PC and I'm thinking it's time to upgrade. I've got a reasonably good idea of the spec I want to go for.
However, what I'm not sure about is whether I should upgrade my monitor at the same time.
I currently have a Dell 2405FPW:

I'm wondering whether I should upgrade to a more up to date model, e.g. the Dell UltraSharp U2410:

Have things moved on much? Is there that much difference? I don't want to drop a bunch of money on a shiny new PC, only to not get the most out of it because I'm using an old monitor.
Thanks for your help!
