I trade stocks for a living and spend hours everyday hawking over the market. I'm running a bunch of Gateway FPD2485W displays. One of the 24" monitors popped and needs to be replaced. I do not want a shinny, reflective bezel because it reflects light and is very distracting. Any 24" suggestions?

DoubleSight DS-245W
Has a nice samsung s-pva panel, runs about 500.00.
OR
Samsung 245T
Slightly more expensive, but I've read that it performs better.

Edit: here is what I know. The 245BW crushes blacks and washes out everything else. It defies color and gamma correction. Very sad.

The Samsung 245BW is a TN panel; great for gaming, not good for color critical work.
Fine lines and text should look great on the Dell's S-PVA panel.
