I picked up the latest issue of PC Magazine, and in it they have a review of Dell’s new 24” widescreen display (the UltraSharp 2405FPW). This beast of a monitor runs 1920×1200 (WUXGA) native resolution and is pretty fast with a 16ms pixel response time. PC Magazine gives it 4.5 stars out of 5!

However, the best thing about this monitor is it’s price — it’s relatively cheap at $1,200 list. Of course, you can check Dell coupon sites like TechBargains to get a discount off of list (I’ve seen this monitor go for around a grand when they are running coupon deals). Typically, prices for 24” monitors like this are $1,500+. With pricing like this, Dell is going to own the monitor category.

If you are interested in this monitor, just make sure you have a relatively recent and somewhat powerful video card capable of running WUXGA resolution… oh, and that your desk is big enough to fit it on.

I love the two Dell 20” 2001FP I picked up recently. I’ll get around to writing a mini review soon on the 2001FP and on running dual monitors (the only way to go!).

Hum… dual 24” monitors… dream.

P.S. Here’s a article from Tom’s Hardware Guide discussing DVI and about running high resolutions over DVI.
