24' T240 & T240 HD

Hey,

To start off, I am a complete noob in this category. I am using 17' LG Flatron L1750S, TFT bought it when it was on sale long time ago, didn't know anything but I have generally no problems with it, movies, tv, editing, games, sometimes I do watch HD movies from my bed with people, just recently there was a suggestion of upgrading to a 24' I honestly don't mind the 17' but why not.

Back to the topic, since I am not very picky or notice any difference. I am planning on getting a 24' monitor. Obviously I did some research, read about TN, TFT, ISP, etc models. ISP is way out of my budget, $300-400 CND, one I won't notice the difference, two I am not even doing professional editing. Anyway, so I narrowed it down to Samsung T240, Samsung T240HD and LG W2442PA-BF 24IN.

Samsung T240 - TN, 5 MS, 1920X1200, medium
Samsung T240HD - TFT, 5 MS, 1920X1200, most expensive
LG W2442PA-BF 24IN - TFT, 2MS, 1920X1080, cheapest

I don't really have viewing angle problems with my 17'. So far, I am leading towards T240 HD, it has a TV tuner and it is TFT, right? I just want my money well spent. I do have a no dead pixel policy at my store so it shouldn't be a problem. Any advice?

Thanks in advance,

EDIT: Are TN panels fine from watching TV from a bed/sofa? I might use it as a TV somewhere else not in my room, not sure yet.

Ooh, thanks! I was planning on doing that. I think I will stick to TN panel since it's dirt cheap compared to other panels, especially in Canada. Last question, are there any significant difference between TN & TFT panels?

Thanks! You seem to know a lot, I read your other posts about monitors, well written! I somewhat understood it, haha. I think I will most likely stick with the LG monitor, dirt cheap and I probably wouldn't mind the viewing angels and colour
