"UltraSharp"
Pros: Great Multimedia Image Quality, Functionality, Large Selection of Inputs, Incredible Color Gamut, No Ghosting in Games, Better than Average Display Options, Great Bang for the Buck
Cons: Buttons are relatively clumsy...Static Image Quality isn't Perfect but isn't all that bad either.Other than that...This monitor ROCKS!
Summary: Having been a previous owner of the 2407 Dell Ultrasharp Monitor I was a little concerned about ghosting as a problem in this monitor as the 2407 had a TERRIBLE ghosting problem in games and movies probably due to the factory cranking the overdrive up to ludicrous speed..."We've turned plaid!!"
Suffice to say that I was more than pleased when I hooked this monitor up to my PC and my Xbox 360 and found that my new monitor displayed no noticeable ghosting at all.
In fact, ghosting aside the image quality on this monitor is astonishing. With just a little tweaking in the options menu I discovered just how beautiful gaming and 1080p movies could be. The colors are accurately displayed for the most part. Like I said...A little adjustment is needed...But goodlord...After I was done with my tuning, this monitor really POPS!
Many inputs make this monitor an excellent multimedia display for a bedroom or office. I found the HDMI and RGB inputs to be relatively useless for HD movie play back in 1080p due to display scaling / cropping, however there are two DVI inputs that will display an HD input PERFECTLY!
Static image quality is probably a little sketchy for those of you who make a living off of that sort of thing. I noticed a little color shifting in some of my static test images. If your just an average consumer you won't notice though as the picture quality is still WAY above average.
For gaming this monitor is SPECTACULAR. The changes I noticed going from the old one to this are simply mind bending. EVE looks incredible. You can really see how much love DELL put in this monitor for gamers over the 2407.
I recommend this monitor to anyone and everyone. At this price point it just can't be beat.
Thanks for reading my article.
