This is a high quality monitor at a great price. It may not be the high end graphic/CAD monitor that costs way more, but more than capable of high end games, photos etc... Construction is great and see no pixel flaws on the screen.
Would say for 350.00 it is a real bargain for a 24".
My son and daughter gave it to me for father's day. I did the shopping,and it was what I wanted. It has been really a lot better than my old 15" Dell LCD.Watching DVDs has been a real treat. My new cpu will be here next week. The cpu has a tv tuner and a digital output. My computer old unit only has analog.
Tons of viewing pleasure. I use this for gaming. I must say there is plenty of screen real estate. Screen does not have the smear or blur affect on fast moving images where as most LCD's do. With a little bit of fie tuning for the colors you will have an astounding display for work or play.
This Monitor is perfect for an every day normal use, works and save a bunch of money. But if you thinking about watching movies, and game stuff spend a bit more money and get something eles.
I bought this monitor to replace my 22" Apple studio display. My wife wanted my 22" Display because it was easier for her to see than the 17" Display on the family computer in the common area. I have the Dell attached to my G5 Tower via the DVI connector. Set up was automatic and no adjustments were necessary. The $329 price was a heck of a lot less than than the $2500 I paid for the Apple Display in 2003. It was brand new in the box and came with all the cables needed. I replaced the OEM DVI cable with a longer one from Monster Cable. The picture is true HD and makes working with photos and video a true pleasure. This my first Dell product and I'm very impressed. I can work @ my desk longer and feel more productive with this larger, brighter display. I loved my Mac Display but this one won me over Immediately. The monitor has a stable base and can be tilted on a desk on mounted on a wall. Pure pleasure! With the prices on LCDs dropping, this is a great time to upgrade from a smaller Monitor. Your eyes will thank you every time you turn it on.
The Dell 24 inch monitor is the best monitor i have ever had.Very sharp images and easy to use.The big screen looks great when you are surfing the internet.
I am very disappointed with my purchase. It Arrived in the Dell factory box in great shape. I mean the box was in great shape. When I finally had a chance to set it up, I found that it had a large flaw on the right hand side of the screen. It looks like a circle of acid rain, streaks of blue and violet with a band of yellow stretching across the center. This was a disappointment, but nothing compared to trying to get results from Dell warranty department. I kept getting dumped to Tech support and they kept asking for the "service tag". I read them every number I could find on the monitor and the box. They told me that none of the numbers were service tage numbers. After the sixth call I finally found a young lady who explained to me that monitors do not have service tags, only computers. Their online service form finally excepted the order number from the box and I am still waiting for Dell to contact me with a resolution. This monitor gives new meaning to "reading between the lines".
Dell's monitors always made me happy. the color is good, the lifespan is great, compared with some other brands, IMHO. Mostly though, i like the size of this monitor. 24 inches is big enough to indulge myself with a feeling of home-theater luxury, but not so big that i have to spend my life savings on it. price and quality are excellent. I love mine, and it makes me realize why i wouldn't be satisfied with my old 19" anymore. Now i'm selling an extra for some lucky bidder out there.
Everyone has said how the color is a problem for this monitor. ITS NOT. All you have to do is have a mind and make the changes. It took a minute to change and made things amazing. The hd is incredible and I have it hooked up to a tv tuner and both the standard cable and HD are crisp and clear. PS3 and xbox 360 are incredible and havent tried PC yet but it will be crazy looking!!!
