  Damn, I remember when these were $255 inc. delivery. It's not a bad deal but they're 16:9 panels which means they're not ideal for web-browsing/word-processing and more suited for games/DVDs.

  Good price for now though.

    How is 16:9 not ideal for web browsing. They are around 2cm wider than 16:10 screens (and around 1cm shorter) which means theres MORE room to display windows side by side.

    But regarding the bargain it is an OK deal. Definately better than the $250 ACER P244W but cost $100 more.

      I make reference to so many websites with fixed widths where you have a huge amount of wasted space on either site of the content. 4:3 is actually the best for websites, but 16:10 is a good compromise. A 24" 16:9 is only marginally taller than a 22" 16:10.

        If we're talking about websites with fixed widths how is 16:10 any different to 16:9? They would both (assuming they are both 24" dell models ie. s2409w and 2408wfp) have the same number of pixels horizontally - 1920. Therefore the amount of "wasted space" is the same on both monitors. How is 16:10 better than 16:9 for surfing the net then?

          @fufufu: Actually 24" 16:10s are 1900 not 1920. 20 pixels, but more even more than required. As people have said it's about 3cm either way which is 1.5cm extra.

          1200 vs 1080 meaning you lose a lot of horizontal viewing, the only thing that matters on websites / documents.

            @cyssero: Good grief. This is why I wanted to correct you in the first place. You clearly don't know what you are talking about.

            Please check your facts.

            http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/products/compare.aspx/24lcd?…

            It clearly states that all the dell 24" screens on the page have a max resolution of 1920 pixels horizontally. If you search for 24" screens from other manufacturers, you will find that all of them have a horizontal resolution of 1920 pixels.

            The only difference between a 16:10 and a 16:9 24" screen is the VERTICAL resolution. So you probably meant "1200 vs 1080 meaning you lose a lot of VERTICAL viewing". This brings me to my next point. For web browsing, the difference would be a couple of lines of text. I do not regard this as “a lot”.

            The fact is both 1920X1080 and 1920X1200 resolutions will be able to display 2 websites side by side or 2 full pages in Word. The difference in the vertical resolution is negligible (for surfing the net and word processing, photoshop and other graphics applications are a different matter).

            I am writing this so that for those who would be interested in this deal won’t overlook this simply because of your uninformed comment.

    16:9 is perfect for the uni student, it can show 2 A4 pages with a bit of give perfectly. (2 full A4 pages, not half a page like word usually gives you)

    lol what is ideal? 4x3?

• 

  samwise_777 on 23/02/2009 - 17:50

  My 16:9 is 3cm shorter then my 16:10 (248wfp) though its slightly a bigger panel. I prefer the 16:9 for Tv and Movies and 16:10 gives extra for photoshop etc etc.
