I have a pair of 2408WFP's and love them.
And yeah, the difference is very noticeable. These cheap TN panels will start to color shift at very slight angles, whereas mine look normal at 80 degrees off center.

These too-cheap-to-be-true screens use TN panels that have just terrible viewing angles. I bought an HP 22" panel the other week and got rid of it almost immediately as the colours would shift as you moved your head.
Replaced it with a Dell 2408WFP instead which is 100x better, if significantly more expensive.
It's confusing as you'd think 2409 > 2408 but that's very far from the truth.

Careful if you're planning on ordering this! I don't know anything about this one in particular, but the quality of Dell's 24" monitors are very mixed now. I've got three, two of the expensive ones and one entry model, and the entry model bugs me to no end. The image quality and viewing angle are both horrible, night and day compared to the nicer ones.
Could you clarify what problems you are seeing with the entry level model?
The entry model uses a TN panel, which has a terrible viewing angle (as in, the bottom and top of the monitor are different brightnesses due to the viewing angle if you're close), and the color quality is low as well.
It's EUR 279 over here (according to http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=nl... ), which converts to about USD 368.
Doesn't really seem like a major bargain..

I am posting in a dead thread to see what happens. I have nothing to add to this discussion, other than that a few years ago, I was using a 90lb fixed-sync CRT.
It's much less bright than a PVA panel monitor like the Dell 2407WFP or 2408WFP.
