I'm still waiting for the A01 revision of the Dell Ultrasharp U2410. Should be at retailers soon hopefully.

 

What a great price.

 

Such a bargain, two of the bit-tech staff have already snagged them - myself and Hiren

 

hmmmm.....dell still making realiably good monitors. if only i had a little extra cash this month i'd get this to replace my current 20.1 dell which is ageing, but still awesome.

 

Mine just arrived. It's a very good screen for the money.

 

Even if I hate the random resolutions, this seems like a pretty decent screen (oh and great value for money), but why oh why is the stand made from the goddamn fingerprint plastic?!

 

Hmmm.... I'm looking to get a monitor in this size range. I'm no monitor expert (quite the opposite), so what benefit does the u2410 provide over this to the uneducated consumer?

 

You mean 1200, right?

 

or 1080

 

Damn. £190 for that?

So horribly tempting. Only thing stopping me is the fact that I have no desk space left as it is!

 

Wow, that is a low price for what sounds like an awesome monitor. I'm happy with my year-old Samsung T220, but if I was in the market for an upgrade I would seriously consider something like this Dell... though I would prefer a standard 1080p just for the sake of convenience when it comes to gaming and other media. If they could make one with such a resolution, I'd almost be sold here and now.

 

Indeed, thx

 

Damn Yuraku spoiling my reasoning to get one of these!

 

Damn, that is a nice screen for the price.

I'll get one later in the year hopefully

 

will games recognise the resolution? if not i wouldnt be interested in a horrible messed up resolution. you have to love the pixel pitch though. certainly a quirky product but i can see the benefits.

 

Games recognise the resolution. I have a SyncMaster 2343NW which is the same screen size and resolution but it only has a VGA input. The screen is matt rather than glossy which I do prefer and I find the quality to be perfectly fine for the £120 I paid for it. For the money this seems like a bargain as it has a much better array of inputs than my screen as well as a much better stand. For me games recognise the resolution so I dont have any problems there I just need a more powerful rig as I specced my GPU to my old resolution.

 

Pffft.....no portrait mode.....no interested.

Having played MAME vertical shooters in portrait mode.......there's no going back.

 

I want one!

As simple as that. time for me to save some money

 

don't let elton see this XD on another note- you guys should check out crysis on a crt.. heck even mass effect with grain on crt- looks like your watching a movie =]
