Yea, its hard to collaborate and I have received help with it before. maybe someone here can help you get it to work better. it will be just as good as your others or even better.
Do you really use the monitor with its native resolution of 1920 x 1200 x 60Hz?
All facts you describe are typical artifacts caused by interpolation.
Theoretically the 24" should be sharper als the 19" monitors because their pixels are smaller.
I have the luck to work with NEC2180UX and 2170NX at work, also Eizo FlexScan and i cannot see a quality difference between the NEC and the Dell. It's much brighter than the Eizo or the 2180UX and driectly comparable to the 2170NX or the big 24" Samsung Monitor with PVA displays.
I use a PC with a ATI Fire GL 5100 with dual head setup at work and a NVIDIA 6600GT at home, always using DVI-D ports.
If you use a resolution of 1280x1024 e.g. ,you will see a blurry picture because the TFT has to interpolate. Especially for games i would never recommend a resolution of 1280 x 1024 if he game doesn't support 16:10 formats. It will be stretched too heavily and is really incompatible to wide screen formats. 1600 x 1200 or 1024 x 768 are acceptable because a stretching from 16:12 to 16:10 is not too heavy.
