I really like the new look though.]]>Dec 10th 2008 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/
So, Dell, if you're listening, howsabout giving us a nice 1600x1600 square monitor, hmm? Or, better yet, a 1920x1600 so those who don't have a separate TV can still watch their 1080p content.]]>Dec 10th 2008 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/Dec 10th 2008 1:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/
Also, I'm not sure about this particular monitor, but the Dell monitors I'm familiar with come with a very nice stand that allow you to rotate it into portrait mode. That, and the fact that Dell monitors come with nice, useful extras like card readers and USB ports, make them actually one of my first choices.]]>Dec 10th 2008 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/Dec 10th 2008 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/
Though perhaps part of the problem is the Windows versus Mac cultural window sizing thing. Ever notice that Mac users don't fullscreen apps but Windows users do? Not disparaging anyone, I fullscreen my apps in Windows too, which means much of the real estate of a widescreen is wasted unless you force yourself to not fullscreen them.]]>Dec 10th 2008 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/Dec 10th 2008 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/]]>Dec 10th 2008 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/Dec 10th 2008 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/Dec 10th 2008 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/Dec 10th 2008 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/Dec 10th 2008 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/Dec 10th 2008 1:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/Dec 10th 2008 1:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/Dec 10th 2008 1:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/dells-ultrasharp-1909w-does-an-awkward-barrel-roll-into-the-rea/

An additional DVI input might be nice, but I wouldn't use HDMI over DVI on a computer monitor, anyway. DVI is the same, pin for pin (with the lack of audio transmission - but it's a monitor, no audio necessary) and DVI actually attaches securely. If you ONLY had an HDMI output available, you could easily source a cable with HDMI on one end and DVI on the other, or use the little converter that they throw in with just about every graphics card.

I would rather that more manufacturers would leave out the "it would be nice, but I'll probably never use it" features on their products in favor of a lower price or better performance. ]]>Dec 10th 2008 7:54AM
