Hi, I'm going to buy a 24" monitor to be used with my Dell SX-270 PC with 
2gb ram and onboard video out.
The Dell 2408WFP seems to be the top rated 24" monitor out there.  I went to 
a local best buy to compare monitors but they seemed to have low end 
monitors on display.  (the 25.5 " monitor sure looks like).

I'll use the monitor for web browsing, displaying flight simulator and maybe 
watching movies.
The Response Time is 6ms which is somewhat slow when compared to other 
monitors.  Will it display BluRay movies?
               1 x HDMI - 19 pin HDMI Type A

I'm not sure this HDMI connection will display BluRay

Any recommendations for other large screen monitors at least 24" wide 
screen, though the Dell 2408wfp seems to get the best reviews.  Any 
criticisms of the Dell 2408WFP?

The minotr sells for about $500.00 any sources for discount coupons or ther 
deals?

I'll want to upgrade trhe onboard video to a video card - any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
