How much has display technology changed?

[l__T__l]

I can get the HP LP 2475w for $75 AUD, I can also get the Dell 2405 FPW for $65 AUD. Considering these monitors were both over $1000 USD when they launched would they still be relevant today. I'm going to use the monitor for gaming but not competitively so I would prefer good colours and viewing angles.

Are they up to par with current IPS monitors costing around $150 AUD brand new?

Or are they still excellent monitors worth hundreds of dollars and I'm getting an excellent deal?

The question has nothing to do with the title???

sorry, I thought it had enough. Basically has display technology changed fast enough to make these obsolete, can you recommend a more appropriate title?

No one cares about how much has technology changed, if you want answers just put "Which monitor should I choose?" or something like that

The top of the line monitors have seen significant improvement even in the past year. Just because something cost a lot in the past doesn't mean anything in the current time, it just means it was good (or overpriced) for its time or the production costs were a lot higher.

 

And honestly, that monitor only takes DVI and VGA. No option for DP or HDMI.

That's fine, i wasn't really expecting them to be outstanding, i still think a 24' 1200p IPS monitor is worth $75 and its nice to know that displays are getting much better.
