Dell SP2309W hits for $379: your old display is marked for death

If you're in the market for a reasonably sized, widescreen flat panel monitor, Dell just added one more choice to the platter. The SP2309W, which we saw officially announced back in September, is now available on the company's site. The screen boasts a 2048 x 1152 resolution, 300 nits of eye-searing brightness, a 80,000:1 contrast ratio, and all the DVI, HDMI and VGA ports you could ever need (well, one of each actually). The display retails for $379, and don't even think about stealing it. Seriously. Steven's watching, wise guy.

It's 1080p already with 16:9 aspect ratio, it doesn't need to scale.

What, no new industry-standard Mini DisplayPort?

Screw TN panels, I bought a 22" HP PVA screen, 1680x1050, for $340 after rebate. I absolutely loathe TN panels, and that 80,000:1 contrast ratio is marketing babble, it's not the "actual" contrast ratio.
