Is Dell UltraSharp 2208WFP better? 45 degrees swivel, as in turn the screen to vertical?

Is this using the S panel? The UltraSharp name is really something, everyone is saying that with UltraSharp, the image output is clearer and much better... arghh... I hate puchasing stuffs. Had a bad experience with the 6800 GT already.

And is my 7600GT able to display at 1920x1200 for the 24"?

From the specs, looks like TN panel. TN panel has crappy viewing angle, especially from top to bottom.

not only viewing angle. color is also teh sux. avoid TN at all cost if good picture quality is all you want.

It's not due to the panel. Apparently, it's due to the colour chip... So, it only affects the new 24" that supports the higher colour gamut.

And what's with the rebate and Dell's Discount coupon? Can I get it anywhere for free?
There is no S panel. It's either TN, IPS or PVA. The S in S-IPS or S-PVA is Super, meaning an enhanced version of IPS or PVA.

TN is the oldest of the three. It's great for low response time but has poor colour range and very limited viewing angles. Obviously, IPS and PVA are superior.

Huh.. I thought all Dell monitors are height adjustable?

IMHO, adjusting the height is important. Hehe...

Get UltraSharp la.. Just avoid the 24" UltraSharp unless you can live with the ghosting.

Dell has already informed everyone that NO returns are allowed for this "defective" monitor.

Again, I note, I own this particular 'defective' model, the 2407WFP-HC with high colour gamut

I don't see it happening in games, only when i scroll in certain forums or websites, and that's what the main complaints are about

Yeah, like that have to get the Dell UltraSharpTM 2208WFP already I think although it's TN panel but it can grow tall and short though. Dell website has so few 22" and 24" monitors at the moment.

Anyone have any comments on Samsung and BenQ monitors?
