People are still using VGA? geez.
What's the advantage of hooking this up to HDMI vs DVI anyway?]]>Feb 26th 2009 3:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/
BTW: Shouldn't this on have a LED-Backlight? There's no sign of it in the Tech Specs, nor of the (in theory) resulting dynamic contrast ratio of 1.000.000:1. Dell ditched that feature? Or is the energy consumption of only 20W a hint?]]>Feb 26th 2009 4:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/Feb 26th 2009 4:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/Feb 27th 2009 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/16:9 is the new monitor standard, they are all going towards 16:9

Also, it is probably 5ms b2b and 2ms g2g like all other monitors.

Also, Dell monitors are generally known to be excellent, no reason to go dell with TN panels though.]]>Feb 26th 2009 4:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/Feb 26th 2009 4:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/Feb 26th 2009 4:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/Feb 26th 2009 4:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/

Price: 405,91 Euro. Dell Europe must lost his mind, that are nearly 170 US-$ more in comparison to the US-price.


The german site also reveal that it's indeed a LED-Backlight model with TN Panel. LEDs explain the (US) price in comparison to it's direct competitiors. ]]>Feb 26th 2009 5:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/

Why the heck qould anybody go for a 16:9 Monitor on a computeR?
Why would you give up on extra resolution, give up on more vertical screen space only because of movies?
Because of black bars? This is crazy. :P

When you edit 16:9 on a 16:10 monitor, what you are supposed to do on a computer, you still have space left for controls. But this is just one of the arguments for having more vertical space.
If the "more space" isn't enough already ;)

And btw.: there is not "ONE" standard for movie formats, so even to get a 16:9 for movies doesn't make that much sense. It's just the TV format.

To wrap it up: I think this is an unneeded change. I hope this stays an option and doesn't replace the 16:10 monitors step by step. I'm happy Apple didn't jump on the band wagon with the latest MacBooks and figures that people buy those to edit and make the films, not watch them - See my first point ;)

Of course, it's everybody's own choice and I don't mean to judge that ... I'm just curious about this ...]]>Feb 26th 2009 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/
I for instance really apreciate the change, since I'm using a 16:9 TV and 16:9 Laptop screen. And I'll soon be buying a 24" or 26" TFT, so why not with a 16:9 ratio?

A lot of consumers nowadays watch movies or TV series in fornt of their desk, so the ratio change isn't really that bad. Especially since a lot of users only tend to buy one screen and not a TV and a seperate computer screen. At least in europe.]]>Feb 26th 2009 8:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/
I just got a acer 23" 1080p with hdmi for $199 shipped! its an amazing monitor.
you could have 2 for just $50 bucks more than this crappy dell.]]>Feb 26th 2009 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/Feb 26th 2009 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/dells-greenish-g2410-lcd-monitor-goes-on-sale/
