Strengths: The design, the color, no dead pixels. The USB ports on the side of the monitor are extremely convenient and the memory card inputs for compact flash and SD memory cards are fantastic
Weakness: After startup, the monitor sometimes defaults to mode where the screen fonts are not completely clear. You have to go into display properties and change the settings back and forth. After that everything is fine.
This monitor is breathtaking! I have used many other montiors at both work and home and this one blows the competition away. The ability to swivel to any position and swing into portrait view are especially useful.
Strengths: Incredible picture quality, and incredible amount of display “real estate” at an extraordinarily competitive price point.
Weakness: Default settings are a tad too bright for true photographic accuracy.
This is an astounding monitor, especially considering how it’s pricing absolutely stomps on the competition! Dell 2405FPW: Tested on nVidia 5000 and 6000 series graphics cards, analog and DVI ports, single and dual monitor configurations under Windows XP Pro SP2. Calibrated & profiled with Monaco Optix XR Pro, and ColorVision Spyder2PRO. I bought the 2405FPW to use on my secondary computer,...
Strengths: Deep rich colors, bright screen, sharp image. Absolutely zero defective pixels. HDTV native resolution. Huge screen size for desk top - but perfect for games and DVDs. No ghosting. Great price!
Weakness: Confusing user interface (buttons and OSD) for making adjustments. Screen too bright out of the box - have to tone it down. Terrible instructions - no physical manual, only on CD.
I was eying the wonderful LCD ever since Dell made the announcement in March 2005. It was initially introduced with coupons that brought the $1200 MSRP down to $899. I missed out on that, but decided the next time the price dips that low, I am taking the plunge. After taxes, my final price came in just under $1k. That is an amazing price if you consider what the competition sells their similar...
Strengths: Large work area. Great color reproduction and sharpness. Awesome price.
Weakness: Slightly warmer color on lower-right corner of the screen. But this is not a major distraction.
Beautiful display. Colors are vivid, and the screen is *very* bright. You may need to lower your contrast & gamma settings if you work in a low-light room like I do, or else the screen may be too bright. This monitor doubles as a PC monitor (using either DVI or VGA connection, although DVI is clearly the best choice here), and as a TV monitor (providing composite, s-video, and component video...
Strengths: sheer screen size, pivot mode, image sharpness, built-in card reader
Weakness: perceptable differences in brightness at different angles; underpowered USB hub (cannot handle pen drives)
I use 2405FPW for work, and that means staring at it for hours. It's default brightness level is way too high, and not even turning it all the way down helped. Fortunately RGB channels can have gains regulated separately, and adjusting them allows for a really reduced brightness. I connected monitor using DVI input and picture is very clear, without peaks and troughs characteristic of analog...
Strengths: Large, bright display, no dead pixels, convenient built-in USB hub
I'm using this monitor both for work and personal use. Having used 17" monitors in the past, the extra screen real estate is very welcome. I've watched a little bit of video on it (played through DVI, not the other available inputs) and it looks fine. I haven't played any high frame rate video games on it, so I can't say how it stacks up with CRTs in that department. The design is elegant, and...
Strengths: Big. fast enough for most game. bright.
Weakness: View angle could be better. Actually ok but color change as we get away of the central point.
Good price performance. Use it daily and the resolution/size make it very good for multiple applications. You can display 2 pages at acutal size side by side and you still have some room.....
Strengths: -Value -Inputs -Brightness -Perfect Size -1080 HDTV resolution (don't need more than that for movies and games) -Card Readers for CompactFlash, Sandisk, Sony Memory sticks built into monitor, and
Weakness: -Documentation -Dell availability (3 weeks when I ordered, thus going through Pricegrabber storefront) -Height adjustment was a little tricky until you figure it out. There's a button on the back of
I've been using Dell Monitors at work for 2 years now. I currently use 3 of the 20.1 inch ones on my workspace. Basically the 24" widescreen versions have 5% more vertical screenspace and 27% more horizontal screenspace and a bigger base, but the technology is nearly identical. It is simply the biggest monitor you could want on your desktop for gaming. If it were any bigger, I would probably push...
Strengths: 1920x1200 Native Resolution; 12ms Response Time; 1000:1 Contrast; 500 Brightness; 5 inputs: VGA/DVI/Component Video/S-Video/Composite Video
Weakness: None!
The best of the best WideScreen LCD monitor in the market! Very affordable price. Superb vibrant color. Height adjustable stand. Lots of inputs for gamer. 1000:1 contrast ratio is amazing, much better than 2001FP or 2005FPW. You won't lost details in dark scenes when you play games. The big screen can let you show 2 pages simultaneously in Microsoft Word. Again, this monitor is the best of the...

Overall, the UltraSharp 2405FPW performed well. With its vast amount of screen space, plethora of connection options, built-in camera card reader, and 4-port USB hub, Dell’s display offers a ton of features at a very good value.
Top
If 1600x1200 isn't good enough for you, there is always the ultimate solution: the Dell 2405FPW. With a massive 24" diagonal screen size and a native resolution of 1920x1200, this is a colossus of precision. But the price is still at the same level as the NEC 2180UX, so obviously we are looking at a much better price to performance ratio than we've seen so far.
Top
Well-designed 24-inch model includes fluid physical adjustments and an easily accessible 9-in-1 media card reader.
Top
We were quite impressed with the Dell UltraSharp 2405FPW. Its combination of relatively low price, good performance, and ergonomic features will appeal to many.

Strengths: Awesome picture, games play great on it, no noticeable ghosting or sreaking, big screen for a good price, USB ports, lots of inputs
Weakness: Almost to big! That's really it.
This thing is a beast, awesome for movies though, make sure you have it near a place where you can lay down or sit down comfortably and watch movies on it. Screen is perfect size if you're a big computer person. Games, movies, running multiple windows in applications are so much easier on this monitor. It costs a decent amount of money but it's well worth it. I upgrade my monitor about every 5...
