Great monitor
Overall Rating:

Review:Love this monitor. Great picture quality and fits perfectly on our computer desk. Our old monitor had a slightly blurry look when hooked up to our brand new desktop, so we had to upgrade. This was the only monitor that wasn't HD and "stretched out" it is perfect-we really enjoy the clear picture.

Excellent monitor

Review:I bought this monitor to "upgrade" my several years old Inspiron 3000. Did not want a wide-screen, and this fit the bill. Excellent color right out of the box...plug and play. Good choice if you are looking for a conventional format monitor.

Great monitor for someone that doesn't want a large widescreen or hard to move 19in. model.

Cons:
Only negative I can give is that you need a DVI converter if you don't have VGA out.

Review:Glad to find a monitor that was not a widescreen but disappointed that I would not get it for close to a week.
But much to my surprise and delight it arrived in just two days! Thank you to everyone.

Review:Surprisingly good display. I was concerned the lack of DVI output would affect display quality but it looks good to me. It looks as good as the display on my Vostro laptop. I tried a Samsung 20" wide screen but didn't like the dimensions. I don't watch movies so the 16x9 screen and higher resolution didn't make sense to me. I like the 4:3 display with my spreadsheets and web browser. I got it for $130 and considering I paid $800 12 years ago for the excellent Sony 17" CRT that just died on me I'm pretty satisfied.

Great for Marine Mapping Applications

Review:Used as a navigation monitor on a sailboat. 12V power is always a problem and this definitely uses less than any monitors used previously. Very clear screen presenting easy to read aids to navigation etc. Not required to be used?--- turn off and when needed flashes up in a very short time.
So far no groundings!

Review:The size is becoming obsolete, but its the perfect dimensions for an office setting where space is tight! It doesn't "stretch" certain pages or graphics because it isn't a wide screen, its closer to a square. I would replace all our monitors with this one. It feels bigger than its dimensions. Has great clarity. Love it!

Review:I'm extremely pleased with the Dell flat screen monitor. The colors and clarity are awesome! I also like the fact that I can adjust the angle much easier than my old monitor. Ease of installation was also a factor in my satisfaction. I highly recommend Dell products.

Review:I needed a space saver monitor at a reasonable price. This one is it. Good display, easy to install. No hassles. Connected it to my existing Dell Dimension PC which is about 7 years old.

Review:This monitor is great, especially since it uses the older (and more useful) 4:3 aspect ratio. This monitor is bright and the colors look great, and the picture is really sharp. Non-native resolutions look surprisingly good on here too. I also bought the matching SoundBar and it sounds great.
Pros:
- Image update speed is really fast, so games play well on here.
- Colors are bright
- Picture is really sharp
- Full-screen videos look great on here, even HD ones (letterboxing doesn't bother me)
- Not a widescreen--great if you do more than just watch movies on your computer

Cons:
- Too bright for me by default. Had to turn the brightness down to the lowest setting.
- Does not have a SoundBar power connector, but the SoundBar comes with its own power supply, so this isn't an issue.
- Height is not adjustable

Overall, this monitor is a great buy, especially if you're on a quest to find something other than a widescreen. The price is right too.
