All of these monitors are great, and all in my price range. I would like 1:1 hardware scaling, my video card can't handle 1920x1200 games very well. I'll use it mostly for HD DVDs via an xbox 360 drive hooked up to my PC
I was looking at getting the BenQ FP241WZ before I decided to look at something bigger.
The FP241W initially had problems with 1:1 bitmapping (November 2006 firmware), but all monitors with the January 2007 firmware date has resolved the issue.
The WZ model handles 1:1 bitmapping correctly and adds some new technologies, the most talked about is BFI or Black Frame Insertion to simulate image quality of a CRT. If I remember correctly, BFI has 4 settings in addition to off which is good since BFI doesn't always improve image quality (depending on the person).
I also was looking at getting the BenQ, but went with the Dell on sale because for the significant difference in price (got it for ~$600 after tax). I am very satisfied with the monitor. I watch a great deal of movies, have played a few games and watch HDTV on the monitor and it is fantastic at handling all tasks.
