Pros?
ConsI bought this monitor to replace my old 19" Planner digital LCD monitor. I am using GeForce 6200 graphic card that I have already had in my PC. As many have pointed out, the color of this monitor changes with a slightly different viewing angel. I also have problem with the overall image/color combination. It makes my eyes hurt. I tried to adjust brightness, contrast, color, etc., but could never get it right. Worse, after the adjustment, the color changes when I scroll!
I am using this monitor at work, not for game, so the task is not very demanding. All I want is a bigger monitor so I can have more area to display. But this monitor is causing me headache, I am thinking about changing back to my old 19"!

ProsThis monitor is the sharpest in the world!!! I upgraded from a Samsung 22" 225BW to this and it definitely eats the Samsung for lunch!!! Videos and games are so amazing on this screen. I pair it with a Powercolor ATI Radeon HD2900XT 512MB graphics card and it is sooo awesome. This is the perfect display for my Xeon "Harpertown" Workstation that I have at home. A graphic designer/3D modeller's dream!
ConsI had to set the color settings to R=89 G=92 and B=97 to ge the colors just right. With factory settings, the colors were way off. But at this setting, the clarity is incredible. Be aware to check your color settings before you start using this monitor and the above settings are what I recommend for the color settings. This monitor is definitely worth the money especially after you fine tune the color settings....

Review:None.

ProsI love this monitor. You can view two full pages side-by-side with it in Word. Picture quality is perfect. It also has the best price I found for monitors in its class.

ProsFantastic price point for the money.
Much better color range and decent size. Would have prefered a 30", but no one has bought it for me yet.
Nice appearance. Very clean... no USB, card readers, speakers, etc..., to detract from the monitor. I have my own stereo system and don't like paying for stuff I'll never use. Better packaging than my older monitor had (bigger monitor in a box about half the size).
No dead pixels (only one on my older Dell)
ConsViewing angle is pretty bad. No where near as good as my older 20" Dell (but I paid less than half for my 24"). Buttons don't feel as solid as the my older Dell... will see how they hold up.
Would have liked an HDMI/Display Port on it, but for the price I understand.
My younger brother will be upset when our mom get's the 20".

Review:Doesn't raise up, but it's only a problem due to the viewing angle. I hadn't given it a thought because my older Dell LDC had a great viewing angle.
I typically buy for my family (or they get the hand-me-downs), so if someone wanted an recommendation, I'd suggest this monitor over a cheaper odd-name brand because Dell has consistently been on top of the game with their LCD's (aside from some button problems with an older line).

ProsExcellent monitors. Purchased three of these for a triple monitor display system, they are amazing. Well worth the money. I've owned prior dell lcd monitors in the past and they are 100% reliable. Excellent price.
ConsNone that I can think of considering the options they have provided. If you want a higher end model with all the fancy features, go for the Ultrasharp 2408.

ProsIt is big!
Good image quality
Good deal for the price
Has both analog and DVI-D connectors
Fast response time
Attractive styling (I love all my Dell monitors!)
ConsAlthough this monitor lacks bells and whistles, I really don't need usb connectors, speakers, etc. and for the price I wouldn't expect much. However I would like a height adjustment. Other than tilt you cannot adjust the screen position. The factory settings were way off the mark and created a horrible and unusable screen image, but after adjusting the brightness, contrast and screen resolution it looks great. For me the so-called native resolution of 1900 x 1200 is way too small for comfort, but I'm in heaven at 1024 x 768.

ProsThis is a basic, no-frills, get-what-you-pay-for 24 inch wide screen monitor that does an acceptable job with everyday tasks such as Web browsing, word processing and picture viewing - once you tweak it out.
ConsThis is not a Dell UltraSharp model, so don't expect it to have the inputs or performance of an UltraSharp. The factory default settings are way off the mark (to bright, to much color saturation, etc.), out of the box so be ready to tweak them almost immediately. I played with the settings for a full weekend before I got the monitor to an acceptable display. The two main issues with this monitor are the fact that it is a "TN" panel - which by design are less expensive to produce and not that clear to begin with regardless of brand - and the Sharpness setting which steps in increments of 10 for some reason instead of 1. So either the picture is slightly fuzzy - until you tweak all the other settings - or to sharp causing slight image ghosting.

Review:While Dell recommends setting the resolution to its maximum, I found that the monitor works best in my case at a resolution of 1320X760, with the brightness and contrast set at around 50% each. Also, be sure to turn on ClearType in windows to improve text readability, and reduce color saturation in the monitor itself to the low 90's. If your video card included an applet to let you make additional tweaks, use it to make additional fine adjustments. The stand lacks a height adjust device, so either pick up a better stand at an auction site for a few dollars, or use some old phone books.

ProsVery good color after using the comprehensive color adjustments. Also had to do a little tweaking to the BFG 8800 GT-OC graphics card to get an accurate calibration. Very sharp text and solid colors. No shadows or outlines. All games look great after adjustments to the game itself are made.
ConsViewing angles are a little narrow to stay within the accruate color presentation. No support for anything but a 60hz refresh rate which is usually adequate.

Review:Extremely good value. There are better monitors in this size range, but with a good graphics card (or two) I have no arguments. After reading the reviews, I notice that virtually all of the poor results are caused by junk graphics cards and the wrong resolution settings. This display does not look good in ANY resolution other than 1920 x 1200. If you need a flat panel this size to display lower resolutions (better, not great) you should go with the Dell Ultra Sharp since it has a higher quality screen. But still I see no difference between the two when using the native resolution. BTW, who needs USB, speakers or card readers on a monitor anyway?! Just adds to the cost and complexity. This monitor does a better than average job at doing what a pure monitor is designed to do. For the price, it can't be beat.

ProsThis is a great monitor. The color and clarity is perfect, couldn't ask for more. I don't know if it is just me, but I think the hole made into the back of the stand for all the wires is a great thing.
ConsI haven't found any.

Review:This is a great monitor for a great price. I would recommend it to anyone.
