Looking for one to display movies, TV etc.
Needs an HDMI connection ideally, any more inputs a bonus (most stuff will run through a Mac Mini). Needs to perform really well and look Gucci with as thin a bezel as possible.
Speakers not essential. Should be VESA mountable (I believe most/all are), stand quality not an issue.
Might get away with a 26"er if they perform better (doubt it).
Opinions welcomed.
Have so far seem some from BenQ and Samsumg that look pretty good. Eizo always used to make nice screens too (though not sure about for video).

I'd highly recommend the Dell UltraSharp 2408FWP. Do not get the cheaper TrueLife version as it is nowhere near as good. My company has two of them, we've supplied two to clients and two of our business partners use them. Everyone sings their praises and they are quite a demanding group.
Don't pay the website price on the Dell website - there are much better deals to be had elsewhere. I'd offer to supply it for you as we're a Dell Partner but we could really just supply one to be honest, sorry!
HTH,
roadie.

Apalling phrasology aside.
65" Sharp with a solid Gold bezel do you?
Arabs and Russians only need apply but we can get 'em!
Come now plotloss, allow me some latitude Apalling phrasology aside.

It's to be used as a bedroom TV so something suave and elegant without too much in the way of bling would be preferable my good sir

I have two of the cheaper E248WFP, and when I bought them they were just under half the price of the 2408WFP, so the math to me was clear.If the price difference over there in the UK is anything similar, and you are not a graphics professional, I would recommend checking out the cheaper one, because I am extremely happy with it for the money.
Hmmm HP w2408h?
HPs 24" beauty, comes with a seriously nice stand but does have the standard VESA mounts on the back. Takes an HDMI connection or a VGA and got mine for £320 on the high street.
Its lovely, looks the business and the image quality is fantastic.
The only let down is the viewing angle, if you arent straight in front of it, it doesnt love you with it's visual prettiness. On the other hand considering the stand moves in every axis and lets you rotate the screen then there's no real reason for it not to be lined up right.
The image quality over the 2007 version is a huge improvement (and that wasnt too shabby), the 07 22" sat next to it looks drab by comparison.

The BenQ G2400W 24" in black is gorgeous! 
It has DVI & HDMI as well.
That'll be my next purchase
Just got the BenQ 22inch version, unreal quality for the money (£150 delivered from ebuyer)It has DVI & HDMI as well.
That'll be my next purchase
HDMI, DVI and VGA
I shall feel like my hard earned has been well spent!
I'm running the Dell 2407WFP or 2408WFP (I forget which, but it's 1920x1200) as my main screen with a Dell 2007FP (1600x1200) next to it in dual-screen mode.
The main screen is very good indeed. Runs a bit hot, mind. I hate to think what our electricity bill is (I really should keep an eye on the bills - Direct Debit makes things too easy to overlook)
