Dell 24 inch monitor

I just got mine in last week, and it is very nice.  My eyes got vey big as I started to pull it out of the box. It is huge.  I have it set at max resolution, and it is like having 2 monitors next to each other. I can easily have 2 web pages side by side. I haven't had much chance to play any games, or amything else, but what I have done this monitor is a good replacement to my 21" crt. 

Just make sure you set the resolution to its native, and nothing else or you will not get a good viewing pleasure

Nope.. no necessary software necessary .  Up until yesterday, my routine involved 'clicking' on an application, e.g. Outlook, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Photoshop etc. etc. and hit the "Full Screen" button so that the application takes-up the entire monitor.. then I would switch between the applications using the toolbar at the bottom of my screen.    Looking at the applications in 'full screen' mode on my new 2405 monitor is just rediculous !!  The screen size is over three-times larger than  my old monitor and the applications are just too HUGE.  By re-sizing the applications, I could easily fit, for example, three WORD documents on the same screen.. It's just fabulous to do internet research in one window and type a document in the next.  It will take some time (and mouse dexterity) to learn how to properly re-size your application 'windows'.

Thanks for the input Dingram. Sounds like you're very happy with the unit. Let me ask what is maybe a silly question. When you describe having different apps on screen simultaneously does this require special software? Thanks again for your comments.

Thanks for the input, I'm probably gonna do it and I'll post my comments in a few weeks.
