clicky
a 2 min search has found 3 24 inch widescreen monitors all around £250
also try pcworld, misco, argos, even somewhere like tesco nowadays probably
or if you really wanna spread your chances, use Kelkoo, it searches hundreds of online stores for what you want
the internet is all powerful

I think the Samsung 245B is a good one, just look for reviews and check for yourself. I'm sure there are reviews comparing several models

I have the Dell 2407WFP which is damn nice, might be a bit over your budget but it's good.

To be honest, I wouldn't go for anything over a 2 asl people can live without)
Anyways, as for 24", here's CNET's reviews :

TBH, I think Dell and BenQ are the best brands when it comes to huge monitors.

I'm going to buy a 22" samsung, they look to be very good, specifically this one - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-SM226BW-Widescree...=1197226895&sr=8-1
The contrast ratio is really good, and a 2ms response time is more than enough. Also it looks gooood.

Since the whole Gamespot Jeff deal, I take all CNET reviews with a grain of salt, but most monitors will perform the same, glossy face are the only real difference I see today, which appears to give more vibrant colours but some will be a real bitch in light conditions with reflections

At another website/forum I visit, I hear that the Dell 24 inch monitors are really good.
Right now, I own a smaller BenQ and they have always been great monitors.
I don't know if they come in different resolutions, but if they do, then get one that's at least 1920x1080 (will probably be 1920x1200) because then you can view full HD 1080p content on it at full resolution.

RE: 24" Widescreen monitor by ipab on 12-11-2007 at 01:21 PM
we have these at the store I work at
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ca/en/ho/WF06a/121...2244-79803167.html
fucking gorgeous colour reproduction.
The screen is glossy, so if you are considering getting one, you might want to consider glare too...
Other than that, the screens are like I said, absolutely gorgeous.
