awesome price :eek:

Dman001 · 13-12-2008 8:43pm

Great looking monitor but it wouldn't be great for watching HD content due to it being only a 23".

Keano · 13-12-2008 8:45pm

Shocking cheap.

I got a Dell flyer in the paper today and they have that model priced at €259.

Fnz · 13-12-2008 9:06pm

Any reputable reviews of this monitor? Couldn't find any after a quick google.

TakeTheVeil · 13-12-2008 10:43pm

I bought this monitor a while back. Absolutely love it. At full resolution my PC struggles to play games but my 360 looks great on it. Very good viewing angles to considering its a TN panel.

mad m · 13-12-2008 10:50pm

How would you hook up a xbox 360 to this monitor?

With a VGA HD xbox cable.

Dman001 · 13-12-2008 10:57pm

You could get a DVI to HDMI adapter and connect the 360 via a HDMI cable too.

dubmick · 13-12-2008 11:51pm

I just wish they would reduce the price of this one... http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=ie&l=en&s=dhs&cs=iedhs1&sku=147262

dingding · 14-12-2008 1:11am

Got one and ordered the speaker kit for it as well another 33 euro odd.

A great bit of kit for the price.

oq4v3ht0u76kf2 · 14-12-2008 2:33am

Cheers for this mate, just ordered two of them there!

HungryJoey · 14-12-2008 12:13pm

Decent deal, looks like i might have to invest.

ThOnda · 14-12-2008 12:39pm

I cannot find any reviews or tests how good it is for photography processing and/or graphics. Callibration, colour cast, viewing angles, black point...

melekalikimaka · 14-12-2008 1:50pm

i seem to recall a thread on these screen in photo forum, theres either really good or really bad ones depending on certain chips used or something, I'd be wary til I got that info myself, in fact I'm going for a gander now as it seems great value for image editing

14-12-2008 1:54pm

someone already posted its a TN monitor ,photography is best on their SIPS type I think.

lpool2k05 · 14-12-2008 4:15pm

Any chance of this working as a normal tv??ie using a sky+ box or is it just a pc monitor?

joefromireland · 14-12-2008 4:37pm

Even cheaper if you use www.dell.ie/epp a extra 3 %

Holy crapola, this month just got €186 more expensive!
Thanks OP!

Do-more · 14-12-2008 5:43pm

Any idea of delivery time on this?

I believe TVs have some sort of motion technology lacking in PC monitors. Also the connections on a PC monitor are usually only for VGA, DVI and HDMI... no composite, component or scart usually.

Awesome, thanks OP.
I was going to go with the dabs value for 122 delivered(http://www.dabs.ie/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=5CTJ&SearchType=1&SearchTerms=dabs+value+22%22&PageMode=3&SearchKey=All&SearchMode=All&NavigationKey=0) but this looks is a million times better for an extra 60. Cheers

Hang on, that's got me thinking.
There's no built in speakers at all? To get sound coming from the monitor you'd have to buy the speaker add on kit?

Damn, that's a bit more cost. Might cancel it now, was planning on using it with xbox 360 as much as anything.

One can used it's big brother (2408WFP) as a TV, it as s-video, ya just need speakers, i used to connect it to my NTL box.

This one only has VGA,DVI, so you need something to connect them..

jayteecork · 14-12-2008 8:56pm

Ok I ordered the extra soundbar.
BEWARE, the one they have advertised at the side of the page(http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=ie&l=en&s=dhs&cs=iedhs1&sku=520-10703&~lt=popup) is not the correct one and you need to order the "PA" version (http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/PopupProductDetail.aspx?cs=iedhs1&l=en&c=ie&sku=520-10704#Overview)

Guvnor · 14-12-2008 9:11pm

Nice one Jay!

What are the best bargains on the dell site for computers - not interested in the 50% off dell one but a normal computer!

I like the top of the line 730 iirc but stone me the price is a bit rich.

What is the difference, why will the suggested one not work?

Fergster · 15-12-2008 12:31am

Los like this is now € 233.10 incl Delivery.

Did the original special incl delivery?

Cheers

dingding · 15-12-2008 12:34am

I think when you go to purchase it the discounts are applied.

It's not suggested, it's on the "customers also bought". It said only for use with an ultralight monitor.

I googled just in case and apprently you need the PA version. Better to be safe than sorry.

What are Dell like for returns anyway?

Also when did you order it?
Let us know what you think of it when you get it.

DPD ? I think was the name of the courier .. gave me a buzz after 8 this morning to tell me it'd be delivered between 10 and 12 ... arrived at 12:20

My screen had updated on the dell site yesterday to tell me it was with the courier

Its shiny ... its very shiny ... its huge not used to 1920x1080 resolution ... have a 1650x1050 22inch benq already but thats been taken for the other machine so I needed something to hook up to my MBP ... I'm thinking its going to take a bit of getting used to this

as my plan was to use it for work.

Black is a very nice black on it ... I've not configured any settings just yet though apart from just hooking it up asap

I've also only looked at an AVI on it I don't have any HD content though I think I'll download a trailer for ST or something from apple
