Dell LCD Monitors?

[Fender]

Any feedback on if they are any good or not.

I was originally thinking about this Sammy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6824001263 for $410. It is 1920x1200 (16:10)
But Dell has one with very similar specs for $300 : http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/prod ... u=320-7345
The Dell is 1920x1080 (16:9 HD)

I'd like HDMI because I'm planning on getting a PS3 soon. I want VGA because my older 360 doesn't have HDMI. The newer 360 software supports 16:10 monitors, right? And my laptop has DVI for dual screens, so I need all three types inputs.

If you're after a 1080-res screen with HDMI.. why not get one of the units that's being marketed as a TV, for a typically lower price than those that are marketed as monitors. They're the same panels yet the TVs are more complex but better priced......

Different resolutions, 1920x1200 on the Samsung and 1920x1080 on the Dell.

The Samsung is closer to my Dell 2407 monitor (newer version linked below):

Now that's fucked, i haven't seen a 16:9 Monitor in a long ass time.

Anyway, Computer monitor's are 16:10, so that would be 1920X1200 and basically ALL of the monitor's have 1:1 pixel mapping to 1080P ( My dell 2405FPW does, that says alot ) So they will
natively show 1080P images

that aside, i agree with Foo, you can get a Decent 32" LCD tv for around that...

that will give you the inputs that you are looking for, Support, a big-ass computer monitor, TV, Pr0n one stop shop, etc, etccc..

I've never seen a 32" 1080p LCD, certainly not for $400.

At this point I'm just going to wait for black Friday and see what happens. Maybe something will go on sale that catches my eye. Either a really nice 24" monitor dropping to $300 or a 32" TV dropping to $500. We'll see...

I'm thinking this one.

$432 shipped and doesn't have the crappy TN LCD panel that most in this price class have.

edit: fuck... conflicting info... might have a TN after all
edi2: apparently there are two versions, one with a TN panel and one with a S-PVA

[AmIdYfReAk]

you could always buy it,check and return it if it does.... ?

That's what a lot of people did with the Dell 2407WFP Because of shitty panels.

[Fender]

Good news is that I can check it out at a local shop with just about the same price and I'd save shipping...

Using one right now. Granted, not $400.

That's where I got the list of TN vs non-TN panels. I froogled all the non-TN panels until finding one that was reasonably priced. If this monitor really has a S-PVA panel in it, it is a bargin. Most 24" monitors w/ non-TN panels are well over $1000.

Oh and I stopped at BestBuy today. I had never really looked at a 24" before. They are freakin' huge.

i got used to mine, I'm looking at 30/32's thinking "Hummm, That's a nice little upgrade"
