HD monitors are amazingly cheap these days. Shame the nice IPS ones don't seem to be falling in price. It used to be a small premium, now it's a 4x difference.]]>Aug 7th 2009 4:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/Aug 7th 2009 4:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/Aug 7th 2009 7:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/

Typically, manufacturers will artificially inflate this number by making the whites brighter (useless) rather than making the blacks darker.]]>Aug 7th 2009 8:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/Aug 7th 2009 8:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/Aug 7th 2009 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/Aug 7th 2009 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/sounds like these monitors won't be too great...]]>Aug 7th 2009 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/Aug 7th 2009 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/I've been thinking of getting the 2209WA for awhile now.]]>Aug 7th 2009 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/Aug 7th 2009 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/Rumor is it was a test run to see how well the e-ips would sell or that LG can't keep up with the demand for these new type of panels.]]>Aug 8th 2009 3:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/Always a good thing IMHO.]]>Aug 7th 2009 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/
1920x1080 doesn't cut it, Don't steal that extra 230400(1920x120) pixels! I will not be buying one of these for that very reason!

Yea, I'm familiar with 1080p, its fine for TV, but leave our computers alone. Surrouding HD video with 120px of black bar is perfectly acceptable.

If these are the cheapo monitors, then fine, but don't let this take over the screen market.

Are you serious? You're aware that some people do more than Excel spreadsheets with those right?]]>Aug 7th 2009 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/
There was a menu option to turn this feature off, but it wouldn't actually turn off when set to off. So I called them up and returned it for a full refund. The dell rep was all like... "yeah.........about that..." It was a known issue so I got my full refund bitches. I'm gonna take my chances and order this new one. Hopefully dell didn't screw up on this one too.

Dell wouldn't keep putting it for sale at less that it's full price if they were going to discontinue it.
As it stands it normally is $229 or less not the full price of $279, so if Dell stopped making and selling it wouldn't demand dictate to sell the limited remaining stock at the higher price?

I have one and it is probably the best monitor under 24" around these new models are not the UltraSharp that the 2209wa and the 2408wfp are so they are not even the premium models just run of the mill TN FullHD crap for cheap.

Also 16:10 1920x1200 is better for computer monitors since both 1920x1080 and 1600x1200 fit without any scaling so standard size page layout fits and is proportional and so do 16:9 videos

And yeah I said videos since Films are 1.85:1, 2.31:1, 2.35:1, 2.40:1 and HDTV is 1.78:1 (aka 16:9) so most dvds and blu-ray is not going to fill a whole 1920x1080 screen without letterboxing so I'd rather have the extra pixels and more versatile layout options that 16:10 affords than have a 16:9 monitor hell even game support is better for 16:10 resolutions than 16:9 ones.]]>Aug 9th 2009 1:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/Aug 31st 2009 1:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/dell-quietly-launches-trio-of-widescreen-lcd-monitors-waits-for/
