Title: Honestly, I can't recommend this monitor
Date: June 16, 2008
ProsMany input options including Display Port. Media Card reader. Adjustable stand. Portrait mode (For those who need it). Nice styling. ConsLeft side of screen is brighter than right side. Left side of screen has pink tone. Out of box color calibration is terrible. Red is just off the charts. Input lag is terrible.
Review:I wanted to like this monitor but I just can't. The cons are just too glaring. The lack of brighness uniformity, pink color, and the input lag are deal breakers for me. I adjusted the color just fine, but it should come pre-calibrated for the cost of an UltraSharp display. I'm returning it today and I may revisit this monitor after an A01 revision is released. If you are a gamer or image professional I would avoid this monitor. Check the Dell community postings and see for yourself.

Title: Excellent Monitor!!
Date: June 14, 2008
ProsThis monitor is absolutely beautiful. It is also very easy to set up and the shipping was super fast! ConsNone
Review:it may be it a bit pricey for some but i think its a good deal when you open up the box to see it. This monitor is beautiful but it is also pretty big and if you worried it will be to much i would recommend the 22" any bigger than 24" i really believe would be overwhelming

Title: Great Monitor
Date: June 9, 2008
Proshas slots on the side for varieties of media cards, and 2 usb ports. has many options for display adapter plug ins. s-video, hdmi, DVI, VGA, gives many options. also has an adjustable base, so you can freely raise and lower the monitor several inches. the monitor can also rotate 90 degrees. Consprice, but hey, pay for what you get, this is a high quality monitor, expect a price tag for it.
Review:24 wide screen 1920x1200 resolution, if this monitor is bought the computer that its meant for should have at least a 8800 GTX for higher end games on max resolution. this large resolution will tax any video card for FPS. i prefer SLI, but one GTX is good enough for most games today.

Title: performance not worth the price
Date: June 9, 2008
ProsIt's bright and sharp. Haven't noticed any tearing during movement in games and tracks well in movies. BluRay looks quite good on this thing. ConsToo bright. I tried to calibrate the luminosity to 120 nits, (recommended for editing photographs and video), and could not get the monitor that low with just the brightness control. I had to go into the RGB sliders, (set at 100% by default), and lower each one to 60% to get it to within range. I noticed a *very slight* amount of pink banding in large black/white gradients. (most folks won't even see this. As an Illustrator/Photoshop user, it eventually gets noticed). Some small amount of light leak from all 4 corners on black screen.
Review:If I could have got this thing cheaper, I'd certanly have considered it a good deal. As it is, I just don't think this monitor is worth $650.00. (with tax)

ProsGreat HD & Blu Ray quality. Sharp colors and defined blacks. Included HDMI, usb ports, card readers make this a very multi-funtion monitor. ConsNone yet. "PowerDVD DX" Player that came with the XPS pc has issues. Had to replace it with free VLC Player, but nothing but excellent as far as monitor goes.

Title: Way to go, Dell!
Date: May 30, 2008
ProsTons of inputs, HDMI and DisplayPort included, and lots of viewing space. It worked great right out of the box with no adjustments needed. This is great gaming monitor to use with a PS3 also. Movies, especially Blu-ray, look incredible. ConsA bit pricey for the size. I'm glad I got mine on sale.
Review:I was a bit hesitant after reading some of the negative reviews, but I'm glad I decided to buy it after all. I've experienced none of the problems others have referred to and found it to be a fantastic monitor straight out of the box. You will not be disappointed by all the features on this screen.

Title: Wow wow wow wow!
Date: May 23, 2008
ProsHuge. Beautiful colors. USBs and card readers in the side work well and are quite handy. Picture in picture looks like it could be pretty useful. Stand is very innovative and overall look of the monitor is modern and expensive. Setup is unbelievably simple. A snap, twist, and a couple plugs and you're up and rolling with a gorgeous monitor. Vista recently installed its own special update for the monitor...and I saw no difference...ah, well. ConsNone. I could imagine some people complaining about the price (my girlfriend did) but I wouldn't use any other monitor.
Makes my 19" LCD here at work seem pitiful and tiny.
Review:I purchased an extension on the already awesome 3 year warranty for a total of 5 years. I am extremely extremely happy with this monitor. I have never had such a pleasant time on the computer. So much easier on my eyes and much better color. Watching HD content is sweeeeeeet.
I love that the Ultrasharps are bright-pixel free guaranteed.

Title: Returned it for NEC 2690WUXi
Date: May 22, 2008
ProsWell constructed. Vivid. Deep blacks. Lots of inputs. Size is just right for photo editing work. ConsMy sample had a distinct gradient from pink to greenish blue which was noticeable on white and light colored backgrounds. Fonts were slightly ghosted which caused eye strain for me. The unit was too bright out of the box. Not sure why anyone would want such a bright monitor. I had difficulty calibrating the unit.
Review:I upgraded to the NEC 2690 as I required accurate color and easy profiling for photo editing work. For gaming, movies etc this monitor would be fine.

Title: Excellent alternative to the Apple Cinema Display
Date: May 21, 2008
ProsExcellent color gamut and accuracy (when profiled/calibrated) Perfect for photographers and designers who require color fidelity ConsNone
Review:I use the Apple Cinema displays at work and was looking for a less expensive alternative to use at home. Most displays use 6-bit color which is unacceptable for design and photo work, so after reading about and testing several models, I came across this 24" by Dell. I've been very impressed. After profiling/calibrating, the color is on par with the Apple Cinema Display (generally recognized as the standard) and I can highly recommend it. If you're a designer or photographer, don't even consider the 6-bit models. Although this info isn't usually in the specs, a way to tell is the viewing angle: it's usually 160 degrees on the 6-bit models,and 170 degrees or more on the 8-bit and higher models.

Title: Awesome!
Date: May 19, 2008
ProsThis monitor is larger than I expected. The colors are bright. The display is clear. I love the extra USB ports and Media Card Reader. ConsThe display colors are a little off compared to the display on my laptop to which it is cabled as a second display. I believe that a little calibration may bring the colors in line.
Review:I would buy it again. I think that it is well worth the money.

Title: Awesome Monitor
Date: May 19, 2008
ProsThis monitor has a great picture. It's good for viewing pictures and video. Bright colors and sharp colors also. The stand is fully adjustable and that is a definite plus. The USB ports and card reader both come in real handy and are easy to get to. You can also hook it up using RCA cables and use equipment other than a computer for viewing. ConsThe only con for me is the price and in the long run it's worth the price.
Review:If you're looking for a high end monitor, this is the one.

Title: Fantastic Monitor
Date: May 13, 2008
ProsThis is just a great monitor. I made no adjustment to this monitor since I have turned it on. The only button I have pushed so far is the on and off button. I have seen no need to adjust the color, contrast or brightness. I haven’t noticed any red tint anywhere on a white background as others have mentioned. I am running it at the 1920 X 1200 resolution and am using the eGeforce 9600 Graphics card. Viewing Photos on it is just fabulous. ConsNone so far
Review:For the price I am paying for a gallon of gas and after looking at my monthly bill, this monitor is CHEAP.

Title: Beautiful
Date: May 13, 2008
ProsI just received this yesterday. I just had to rate this monitor ASAP. This monitor can be used as a TV if you like. The color and size are amazing. Consa bit pricey.....Not really a con, I had to turn down the brightness and contrast. It came at 50% for both. Not a big deal to adjust.
Review:I read all the reviews and mine doesn't have the red at the bottom of the screen as some say. No shadows, no blue tint, no dead pixcels. I think that people should check their graphics card and the computer they have to see if compatible. My computer is an Is Inspiron 530. I have a duel monitor graphics card. If you have researched your computer and card BUY THIS MONITOR. I'm glad I did.

Title: Good quality but not what you might be looking for
Date: May 5, 2008
ProsThis Dell product is as one can read from the many reviews very good. It comes with all functional specifications one could ask for, it is a high quality appliance. ConsI have three issues with the monitor; (1) the screen surface is matt, which is technically may be a better choice than gloss but I in practice I prefer the latter. Secondly for a desk top monitor it is too big. I use the monitor for office work and other than two screens side by side, the size is really not needed. Thirdly the colouring out of the box. I cannot get the red glare on white surface tuned away.
Review:In short, for almost half the amount one can buy a smaller screen that at least delivers the same. But horses for courses, if you need the size, go for it.
