Hey I'm thinking of getting some new monitors to increase productivity and the size of my epeen.

Wouldn't mind one of these oled babies, but they are what, 10k for a decent sized one?

Has anyone been monitor shopping lately? Know any good deals on 20"-24" monitors.

Perhaps some discontinued models? Maybe a clearance deal?

They're on ebay for ~$345, used, but some are still under warranty. I might pick one up.
 
Get a couple 24"s - Side by side - or the new 28"'s .. .

whatever you get, get two! Two > One

Best monitor I've owned: Newegg.com - Acer X223Wbd Black 22" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 2500:1 - LCD Monitors

Great reviews and super cheap right now.

I got 2 of these suckers as well...I dunno if they are the best I owned but pretty solid and cheap.

Just fyi, if you're going to get 2 monitors make sure they are from around the same production date. I had to exchange like 3 of them when I got mine. Basically just because of the different production date (possibly factory) the colors were a bit off and it was quite annoying. Even the same store can have 2 boxes side by side with different production dates, which is exactly what happened to me.
 
Yes, the 2408 is the replacement model. Yes it is well worth it. If I was rolling in it I would pick up the 3008. These displays rate right up there with the Mac Cinema displays and have better contrast ratios. I'm not much of a Dell fan, but their top of the line displays kick major ass.

Seriously, $699 is damn cheap. I paid about £650 for my 2407 a couple or three years ago now. I could almost buy two for the same price now.

Didn't feel like looking up the specs, is the 2408 any different from the 2407?

And yeah, if you don't mind dropping 2 g's and your desk is big enough, go for the 3008. The only reason I didn't get it is it's so big that my speakers wouldn't fit next to it.
