I have two of those, Samsung 2443BW. It has about as small of a bezel as you're gonna find in a 24" monitor. The Dell 2407 and 2408 both have thicker bezels.

Thin bezel but if I am correct its a TN panel.

For gaming TN is sometimes prefered due to the fast response time, but also at the same time it has the poor view angles and that could be an issue with tilted outside monitors.

I went with the larger bezel Dell monitors for IPS panels.

That is correct, it is a TN panel. I personally have not noticed any viewing angle issues with them using as side monitors. In an ideal world where I had lots of cash, I'd have three S-PVA or S-IPS panels (i don't notice a difference between the two).

Im sure its a good choice, I had to go for PVA or IPS because I do photoshop and I was worried about view angles/colors, though 20 or 22 would have fit on the desk a lot easier and cost me less, and also no worries about input log/response time.

Also the lower resolution is going to be easier to push for gaming.

I got them on the cheap though, refurbished for $250 and the 2804 I got with the dell 15% cashback.

I have not even turned them on yet, I cant wait to see what a 3x wide 1920x1200 desktop is like and photoshop room.

My Samsung 245BW have marginal viewing angle issue when in portrait mode. I'm used to it though. It's more noticeable if the screens are lined up in straight line without being in an arc.
