They are slightly different revisions. If you google those numbers you'll probably find the answer. IIRC, the Topaz was originally a PVA panel but later switched to TN. The Pearl is TN.
When my 2405 died I got a Soyo Pearl since it was much cheaper. I didn't know that TN panels only had a small fraction of the color spectrum that PVA panels do (even though many TN panels advertise higher colors than they can actually produce.) I eventually returned the Pearl and did more research to find out just how much difference there is between PVA and TN - a lot.
I'm now very happy with my 2408.
Edit: I did some googling and found this: http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic103372.html
The 24DYLM24D6 is MVA (older version of PVA). Not as good as PVA, but better than TN.
