Released February, 2009
The Pros:16:9 aspect ratio is ideal for watching media. Massive resolution, larger than 1080p - 2048 x 1152. Includes an integrated 2.0MP webcam and dual microphones.
The Cons:TN panel - cheap and fast at the expense of color quality and viewing angles. Cheap plastic stand - lacks some ergonomic features. Like almost all TN displays, it always has a yellow tint no matter how you adjust it.

It bundles a good set of connections: VGA, DVI, and HDMI. It is highly praised for its intuitive, robust and uniquely designed on screen display. Compared with the $690 24 inch Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP, this piece comes slightly short on overall performance and connection options. And for $300, the Dell S2409W offers an inch more more screen size, but lower resolution, fewer ergonomic options, and slightly worse performance. Hence this piece hits a sweet spot. This machine scored well on CNET tests.
