Dell S1709W


$129.00 Released March, 2009

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Rich and vivid colors, everything stands out, great for finding the right icon. Easy to set up out of the box, no drivers needed. Very cost effective, one of the lowest priced monitors available in this size.

The Cons:Stand is very flimsy, rocks at the slightest bump to the desk. Can't ever achieve very realistic colors, not right for photo editing. Too slow for gaming purposes, always some lag.
