Dell SP2309W: 23-inch Monitor

I have a dell S2409W lcd monitor and it looks very good.I can see better detail and color than my acer AL1916W.On very fine letters the contrast is much better, as the dell will show grey lettering that looks all black on the acer.I have adjusted both monitors to the best settings using test patterns and the dell has better contrast range.there is a bit of of axis color{pink} but it is only noticeable under extreme conditions.I use a ATI Radeon HD2600 XT video card in extended mode and can easily see the difference between the two monitors.I would recomend it to anyone.

Fluff review that doesn't anything that isn't on the Dell website. What I want to know is how the height adjustment works. What is the height range with respect to the bottom edge of the monitor to the desktop? Does it go from from 0" to 5" as someone said, or from 2" to 4" as someone else said? My understanding is that the height is a function of the tilt and that the height can't be independently adjusted w.r.t. the tilt. I read 143 comments on the Dell website and no one gave reliable specific information. Even Dell is elusive about this. It should be rocket science to explain the mechanics of the height adjustment mechanism and the range. Also, I know that most graphics cards don't support the highest resolution of this monitor. So, what's the use of having a monitor with capabilities that most cards can't utilize? A good review would have delved into these details and more instead of parroting the Dell website.

@Druken Master. Well hello. Okay so DVI is what you're on sounds good I suppose. Right so tell me something, how many years does it take for You to upgrade your monitor? LIke you do it every year I suppose!? Well for me I do it once every 4-5 years. The point I'm trying to make is that, DisplayPort is The Way Of The Future. DVI is not bad at all either. DisplayPort is out to challenge HDMI in the PC World mostly. Anyway forget that. If you wanna watch MKV HD Movies well you can do it with a regular Full HD monitor as well why would you want to get this? it has more than a FullHD resolution remember that. You watch movies not in Full Screen or something? I run a FullHD NEC Monitor...I have no complaints in watching FullHD mkv files on that. Moreover this panel is a TN film one. Do one thing you get this monitor & tell me how many times you adjust the vertical angles of it to get a good clear picture. lol. Until or Unless you sit like a robot in front of teh PC without moving a Limb lolz. This monitor is good not bad...it has webcam too. If it's priced 14k I'll recommend it but as I said I won't trust Dell YET in the monitor Department.

What is the use of reviewing a product IFAVAILABILITY ITSELF IS A ISSUE ! Funny isn't it ! Dell actually specializes in this.....call customer care...they say the model is not online and you need to go to dealers. Go to the dealers and they say they don't have stock or contact Dell customer care....to _ _ _ _ with Dell !!! It's high time they stop playing around ! There are other lesser known models...cheaper, rich in features and good enough for daily use...I guess FULL HD and HDMI port is what everyone is looking at ! One can check out BenQ ! Off late everyone is talking good about this brand. TN panel is still used in 90% of the monitors that are being manufactured. Though not the best compared to VA and IPS panels, it is cheaper and one of the main reasons for the crash in monitor prices. VA and IPS panels are very costly and not worth investing now unless you are a professional requirement. If you have the money go for a monster of a machine than invest a fortune on a monitor ! Further, today, a monitor with these costly panels containing all ur requirements as a package is hard to find and if you find one...AVAILABILITY IS A ISSUE :)

hehe dunno y but it looks ugly to me :)

You call that a review? give me a break!! Firstly..you don't even mention if it's a TN film panel or IPS! Seems TN coz of the crappy vertical viewing angles. And whose the manufacturer of its panel? Seems samsung..coz thats what Dell goes with honestly. Not to mention Dell's forums are filled with Dead Pixels and what not issues from their various monitor models..using samsung panels. You recommend this monitor why? Honestly I think it looks way to bland...all black casing..yuck. The only thing going for it seems is the ability to tilt it's stand vertically...few monitors offer that. Other than that...higher than fullHD resolution? No thanks..FullHD seems a better bet unless you do office/spreadsheetwork. What insane graphic card would you need to run the new games at it's native resolution! USB ports/Camera is a nice touch but where is the DisplayPort? That's gonna replace DVI isn't it...& Dell is one of the backers of DisplayPort. Regardless this monitor seems like a wastage of money..if you already do own a decent enough monitor. For anyone on a lookout for a new one I suppose this could be better but I'd still go with FullHD res i.e 1920 not higher than fullHD & Dell doesn't have a good history of monitors...but heyy its your $$..and if your a dell fanboy/girl I can't help it.

The audio in/out port is actually used by the optional Dell AX510 SoundBar it's shown as an accessory in the dell US website... are you guys sure its properly available in India ? cause' its not yet displayed on the Indian website as of now, what sort of channels this product is available through ? corporate ?
