Plenty of people want a big monitor with HDCP at a bargain price.  This is exactly the no-frills monitor that suits my needs.<br><br>BTW, what do you mean by "Not quite big enough for HDMI..."?  HDMI is a A/V interface, and the you can in fact use HDMI connections on this monitor simply buy using a HDMI->DVI converter ($10 at monoprice.com).  Sure you won't get sound, but then the monitor doesn't have speakers, so hence the presence of DVI instead of HDMI.  I think you have your tech acronyms a little bit confused.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ZapBrannigan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 2nd 2007 3:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Dell brings the 24-inch E248WFP Stateside]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/02/dell-brings-the-24-inch-e248wfp-stateside/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/02/dell-brings-the-24-inch-e248wfp-stateside/</guid><description><![CDATA[At £230 it isn't a bad 24" monitor.

TN has really drowned the matket with low end product. even the samsungs have lost a lot of my respect in this department. these companies need to diversify like Dell and need to sell TN and non-TN models. The simple fact that very few companies even offer more then a dvi or even just analog is pathetic. I have had up to 4 different products hooked up to my Dell at the same time and did not require any adapters for any of them. the only 2 things missing are fast refresh rates and HDMI both of witch on a high quality image are needed less then on a TN panel. And, yes I game on my high refresh rate and all the garbage about it is just that garbage. Marketing has made the TN panel popular not specs. your refresh rate will have no effect if you are running high end graphics and non-TN hardware.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[moe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 2nd 2007 8:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Dell brings the 24-inch E248WFP Stateside]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/02/dell-brings-the-24-inch-e248wfp-stateside/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/02/dell-brings-the-24-inch-e248wfp-stateside/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah, the Gateway FPD2485W and FHD2400<br><br>ALL the frills that comes with the 2407WFP by Dell, but is only $500 bucks for the FPD2485W and the FHD2400 is $550 but also has HDMI input. <br><br>The FHD2400 can be bought at BestBuy.
