Title: One Hot Monitor!! Date: May 20, 2009
Product Uses: Connecting with Friends, Music & Movies, motion graphics

Review:The UltraSharp 2408WFP is awesome. I love it. I create motion graphics and the 1920x1200 size was perfect for HD motion graphics work. I could view my animation in full size. Colors were great too.

I usually use two monitors in a professional setting but for my home set up the large screen size was all I needed to view the Adobe After Effects menus.

Only thing is the monitor does tend to get a little warm.

Review:The picture is dazzling and meets my every expectation. I had to go on-line to adjust the brightness as the unit did not come with adequate instructions or a decent manual. Still, I am very glad I purchased it as it is clearly a very high quality monitor.

Title: LOVE THIS MONITOR! Date: May 5, 2009
ProsI replaced my 19 inch monitor with this 24 inch and what a difference. I have macular degeneration and this monitor is the greatest! Everything is so clear and crisp. Didn't have to adjust anything it was perfect right out of the box. Love the position of the USB ports. I bought this monitor on sale with free shipping. Wish I had of gotten it sooner. I sure love this monitor and would recommend it to anyone that wants a great monitor.
ConsIt does generate some heat but other then that no cons!

Review:I love DELL products.

Title: Image is a lot grainy Date: May 4, 2009
Pros1. Adjustable stand
2. Looks good
3. usb ports on screen.
Cons1. Flimsy buttons
2. My DVI cable came broken.
3. I tried running some blue ray movies on my new xps 435 & this screen but for some strange reasons i was shocked to see a lot of grains ( not clear ). I checked it on my TV and it looks fine over there.

Review:I am pretty sure that im missing something coz everyone over here seems to like this screen and is also recommended by CNET. I agree im not all that techy but they should have a setting which shows the movies in best possible manner ( pre-configured ). FYI: I tried settings for movie using that flimsy and cluttered interface with no results( Gosh, at least give some s/w, using those buttons is a pain!!!).
Also, if playing with some setting could improve overall experience, please GIVE IT.
I wish I could get my money back. But dell said I would have to return whole order!!!Not ready for another month of wait for my xps 435.

ProsI replaced my 2001FP with this unit. I had the old unit for well over 5 years and it ran trouble free. I was completely happy with it. I hope this one provides me with equal quality build.

This is a stunning display! From the moment I took it out of the box and placed it on my desktop, it has real wow factor. Turning it on, while exorbitantly bright, turning that down and doing quite a bit of tweaking will display a great picture. Getting a great picture took much tweaking and some extensive research on various web sites getting others input on getting the picture just right.

This is for the price the best display. Besides being happy with my previous Dell display, I did lot is of research and found little in the way of price which could outperform this unit.

I purchased the unit on sale in December at a cost of $517.00. It was selling for the high $600's at that point.

My unit is an A01 build. I had read from previous post that previous builds had had some issues with some shading issues or colors being uneven. After nearly 5 months I haven't seen a hint of that here.
ConsSure, the buttons are on the cheapo side, but who cares! Aside from the power button, I have used the other ones ever so sparingly that I cannot really call it a con.
There is a flicker, which occurs intermittently. I have not been able to narrow the cause. I have downloaded the latest drivers, but that has not seemed to fix it.
The optional speaker, which is offered here, is not worth it the price of admission. Poor sound, poor build. Besides, it elevates the monitor to a less than desirable height. I removed it. It is collecting dust behind the monitor as we speak.

Review:I like the built-in SD card readers. Could have used another 2 USB ports.

If I were to do it all over again. I would buy this monitor.

Title: Great monitor for a decent price Date: May 3, 2009
ProsSuper sharp, good color, easy to calibrate and adjust, looks great on the desktop, feels solid.
ConsNone that I can think of.

Review:I originally bought the new cheaper 24" Dell monitor. It was too wide for my needs, so I decided to bite the bullet and get this one.

Also, I originally purchased from Costco because of their easy return policy - I was concerned about damage, dead pixels, etc. No worries there, the packaging was superb. I used to work in a computer store and have unpacked a lot of monitors for display, and Dell's is about the best I have ever seen. Anyway, I found that this baby was on sale direct from Dell so I jumped on it, took the other one back to Costco.

I couldn't believe the difference in sharpness. They don't call these "Ultra-Sharp" for nothing! I love the quality - sturdy, attractive stand with smooth adjustments. I calibrated it with my Spyder 2 and am more than satisfied with the color. No dead pixels, just a great-looking monitor at a great price (I paid $510 with the 3 year warranty).

Text on menus looks a little thin because of the resolution, but I have gotten used to it and love the 3-dimensional look it gives to my photos.

Title: Great monitor Date: May 1, 2009
ProsVery sharp and bright. I had purchased the 2408WFP and the 2208WFP and was planning to put them next to each other, well, 2208WFP is going back, and I will spend the extra $300 simply because it's worth the extra money. You wont believe your eyes.

I have been looking all over the place to find a better than good monitor, and this is the one, the price seemed a bit steep compared to the other monitors out there, but when you turn this thing on, you know why you're paying a little more.

The monitor stand is great, extra usb and card reader are a nice plus, a ton of extra inputs (which I might be using).

Warranty can't be beat with advance exchange.

I am about to order 2 more, one to replace the 2208WFP and one for my wife who will love it simply for the size.
ConsNone

Title: Excellent Color Quality Date: April 30, 2009
ProsThis is the perfect sceen size and color quality for my graphic art. I had been doing alot of work on my lap top that had become such a strain on my eyes and the color or course was not true to life by any means. After lots of research and reading comments from others (here as well as other artistic websites) I decide I'd give this a go. Very pleased with my purchase.
ConsNothing other than for me, it cost more when I purchased it.

Title: Enjoy this monitor for what it is Date: April 27, 2009
ProsSharp, bright, great size, easy on the eyes, multitude of inputs, easy access to its USB and card reader ports.
ConsNot a professional grade monitor, but not priced as such either. It's true that it needs some adjustment out of the box. I agree that the buttons are poor quality, but once you've got it set up, how often does the average user get into the menus?

Review:Okay, I admit this monitor is bright and overly accentuates the reds. But all I had to do was switch to the RGB preset as recommended by another reviewer. It toned things down and looks very nice. After some tweaking and you settle in for daily use, you'll find that this is clear and sharp and will spoil you to other monitors. I can't even hardly look at my old Dell 18 inch CRT monitor anymore. It looks positively dingy in comparison. If you're a professional you already know that you won't spend this kind of money in a 24 inch monitor and be happy. But if you're like me and just want a great monitor for everyday use, I don't think you'll do any better. The standard price is somewhat high. If you can stand to wait, watch for Dell to put it on sale and it will be priced about right. By the way, if this is your first widescreen, don't be fooled by its apparently large size. It's only about an inch taller than my old 18 inch standard aspect ratio CRT. I can't give advice on this monitor for gaming use. I'm not a gamer.

Title: not impressed Date: April 24, 2009
Proslarge display
Consimage quality, buttons.
One side brighter then the other.
There is a mixture of colors (red, and blue).
Have sometimes to click the menu buttons twice.
MUST use LCD calibration software to make it work.

Review:I got the latest rev. A02. Was really looking forward as I previously owned the 2407wfp. Nothing compared. Before selling my old 2407, I but then side by side, and what a difference. The other reviews are right.
Definitely improved video/picture quality once I bought Huey Pantone, but it cost me $129.00.
This monitor being the top of the line, should give better quality out of the box.
At this moment, I'm looking for the 2409wfp release, then sell it thought it's brand new.

I've been using this display for 35 days now and I'm Highly impressed. General web surfing, photo editing, and console gaming - No Problems. One, I hope Dell keeps selling this LCD & Two, I hope Dell uses the stand/base equiped on the 2408WFP on more of their LCD line-up.
