CNET Editor's rating: 8.7 out of 10
Reviewed by Eric Franklin
Review date: 4/17/08
Release date: 4/15/08

The good: Strong overall performance; its tried-and-true design is both aesthetically pleasing and practical; video connections galore.

The bad: Cool preset mode is too blue; no digital audio connection.

The bottom line: The 24-inch Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP display delivers across the board in performance, design, and features. It excelled with movies and games, making it not only an excellent choice as an entertainment display, but also great for everyday Windows tasks.

Product brief - Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP
Hide

Description: The Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP is a 24 in, flat panel computer monitor. Compared to other flat panel monitors on the market, it is midpriced at around $620. Comes with a built-in 9-in-2 card reader and USB hub. This model features a 1920x1200 native resolution. Weighs 21.8 lbs.

Pros: Accepts composite, component video, and S-video analog inputs. Also, this monitor has 1920x1200 resolution, which is somewhat higher than some similarly priced monitors. Its wide viewing angle (178 degrees) is useful whenever the screen is being viewed by more than one person at the same time. Accepts DVI input, which allows for greater signal clarity than traditional VGA.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: Suited for those want a big display in a thin form factor. The 6 ms response time of this screen makes it ideal for fast-moving games and for watching movies.

Value: In general, this monitor has good features for the money.

Suggestions: (1) Before purchasing an LCD monitor, consider visiting your local store for a live demo to ensure that its overall image quality, color, and sharpness meets your expectation. (2) You can use the built-in USB hub to connect peripherals such as mice and keyboards, or a flash card reader. (4) For more help in deciding if this is the right monitor for you, visit the buying guide for monitors at CNET Reviews.
