Just finished lunch (dessert was , umm, 3 yogurts…)
$499 - the regular price for this UltraSharp 2408FPW 24″ LCD monitor is $699. This is a “days of Dell deals” event and as such is valid today only - I suspect it may sell out before the end of the day.
The 2408FPW is an excellent 3rd generation 24″ LCD monitor with “full” HD WUXGA resolution of 1920×1080 pixels.
Some other features of note:
- 6ms G2G pixel response time, not staggering for gaming but good enough with the right graphics card.
- 3000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio
- 1080P support with HDMI, composite, componentDisplay Port, DVI-D with HDCP and HDMI 2.1 Audio Out connectors. I recommend that anyone buying a new computer monitor not even consider a monitor with less than 1920×1080 support, and Display Port will most likely be the successor to HDMI in the next few months.
- height,swivel and tilt adjustment
- 9 in 2 memory card reader
- 4 USB 2.0 ports
- 3 year advance exchange support
… and free shipping.
’nuff said.

I will buy a Dell monitor either 20-22 or 24″ as long as it has a S-ips panel. I am an amateur photographer & need honest photo reproduction.

Don, I believe it’s S-PVA, but the 2408FPW is back on sale for a few days (with a coupon code) for $499 shipped.

It has good 100% + IEC color gamut accuracy which should be good for photo work, no ?
