Dell Announces 24″ Widescreen UltraSharp 2405FPW

I want this monitor... The 2405FPW starts shipping March 1st in the Americas and Europe, and like most 23-24? displays it boasts a 1920x1200 resolution – matching the Samsung 243T. Beating the pants off the Samsung (and others), the Dell 2405FPW actually has a 12ms gray-to-gray and 16ms black-to-white response, plus 1000:1 contrast ratio and 500nits brightness, meaning gaming and video should be simply outstanding. And, at a MSRP of $1199US, it breaks all price barriers for an equivalent display. How else does it one-up the competition? Let’s see. How about four USB 2.0 ports and a 9-in-1 memory card reader on the side of the panel. Clears up the clutter on your desk! Some models like the Apple 23? Cinema Display also offer USB2.0 ports, but many like the HP and Samsung offer none. In addition to DVI and VGA inputs, you also get S-Video, composite and component (hi-def) inputs. Hmmm... so you can use this as a gaming display, DVD player, hi-def TV and more! And it has both PIP and Splitscreen so you can take advantage of the size to watch two things at once. [Dell]
