Anyway, this monitor would be a great deal if only it had more connections.]]>Mar 14th 2008 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 7:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 15th 2008 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/
'cause I'd think the 30-inch ones are pretty sweet already. Also monitors are built to be used from like 2 feet away, TVs more like 2 meters.]]>Mar 14th 2008 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/
As for it being too big for a monitor, I am sure many people would disagree. It's all personal preference and having more room for your apps is pretty high on many people's lists.]]>Mar 14th 2008 9:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/
VGA input displays beautifully at 1920 x 1080 resolution. I'm sure DVI would look even better but my laptop only has VGA.

It also has every other kind of port you would want. Voila!]]>Mar 15th 2008 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/
Right now, I'm typing this on my 50" 1920x1080 75Hz LCD panel via DVI. I use it strictly as a PC monitor and nothing else..

It costs a grand total of... duh duh duuuhhh... $1800

There are drawbacks to having such a large LCD though. These are to be expected and don't bother me much, but if your even within 6 feet of it, expect to be moving your entire head to look around instead of just your eyes, and expect to get burning red eyes if you use it too close for several hours..

But I tell you..... Crysis... in 1920x1080... in 50 inches... max settings... is.... amazing...]]>Mar 15th 2008 9:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 15th 2008 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 9:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/
seems to me DVI (with HDCP) is pretty much what everyone uses anyway (and VGA for the oldschool weirdos.) looking for HDMI? it's basically exactly the same as DVI with audio...

what do you want? coaxial?

I'm all for wide screen goodness, but I'd gladly pay an extra hundred or so bucks for a 20" wide screen display that operated at 1920x1200.

I am the proud owner of two Dell 2001FP monitors and I absolutely love them. I was extremely disappointed when I went to buy another one that they had been discontinued, and could not find anything that operated at (what I consider to be) a decent resolution of 1600x1200 or higher for a wide screen.]]>Mar 14th 2008 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Ok, gonna have to break this post down piece by piece.

"Whatever happened to the Dell I knew that produced wonderful monitors that functioned at high resolutions?"
Still exists as far as I can tell. The 2009W runs at the standard resolution for pretty much all 20" widescreen LCDs. They make a 24" display which runs at 1920x1200, and a 30" display which runs at 2560x1600.

"I'm all for wide screen goodness, but I'd gladly pay an extra hundred or so bucks for a 20" wide screen display that operated at 1920x1200."
No one makes (consumer level!) screens like this. There's not enough demand, only mega-nerds are interested in squint-o-vision displays. Yes, they do make high-density displays for laptops (I once saw a 15" Dell with a native resolution of 1600x1200), but such displays won't work well on the desktop. Your eyes are much closer to the laptop screen then a desktop monitor. No, the industry doesn't care about your super-telephoto-vision.

"I am the proud owner of two Dell 2001FP monitors and I absolutely love them.

This is confusing. "1600x1200 or higher for a wide screen" ?? That's a 4:3 aspect ration, not widescreen. Which the 2001FP isn't. And yes, that display was discontinued (I own one and love it, too), but Dell has a replacement, the 2007FP: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Displays/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-4687

If you want a widescreen display with a resolution higher than 1680x1050 (again, this is standard for 20" widescreens!), you'll have to move up to 24" or larger displays.]]>Mar 14th 2008 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/
I have two Dell laptops. One has a 15" 1600x1200 screen I run at max resolution. The other has a 15" widescreen which I run at its max of 1920x1200. Clearly I like high resolution displays and on laptop screens you can choose the resolution on some models, even when the screens are the same physical size.

Now, web2.oh, you're telling me that 1920x1600 is OK on a 15" widescreen because you sit close, but on a 20" or even 22" which would sit eight inches further back on my desk, the maximum reasonable resolution is 1680x1050? And that I should have to buy a 24" monitor just to equal the resolution on my 15" laptop screen? Meh...]]>Mar 15th 2008 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/
First, of course the 23" Apple Cinema Display that uses a 1920 X 1200 S-IPS panel
Then there are the 22" Lenovo ThinkVision L220X that uses a 1920 X 1200 S-PVA Panel.

I understand that the general consumer controls most of the market and as soon as Apple and MS get their sh** together, then hardware manufacturers can start ratcheting up the DPI on their monitors.

But what about for professionals and enthusiasts?? Where are the 2560x1600 19" or 20" monitors? Or even higher resolution for that size? Why is this marketing so stagnant??

I really hate that Dell is now calling their sub-par monitors "UltraSharps". What it used to mean was a better-quality IPS or VA panel which offered better viewing angles and better colour depth. The older 2007WFP is a far better LCD than this 2009W.]]>Mar 14th 2008 8:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 8:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 8:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 9:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/Mar 14th 2008 9:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/14/dell-busts-out-20-inch-ultrasharp-2009w-lcd/
