[StzRevolution]

[EpiclsME]

That monitor looks really appealing =)

[zDanishKid]

Can u put a HDMI cable in and play ps3?

[TheTechjunky]

@zDanishKid it doesnt have an hdmi input but you can get an adapter or an hdmi to dvi cable. it should work.

[zDanishKid]

@TheTechjunky OK, i will find out

[zDanishKid]

@TheTechjunky OK, i will find out

[hzad23]

@zDanishKid this doesnt have but the dell 23 inch led 1080p full hd monitor 2320l has the hdmi port

[zDanishKid]

@hzad23 Late answer!

[AceTracer]

You forgot to mention that this monitor is 1920x1080 while the SP2309W is 2048x1152.

[DrDuckDockin]

just so everyone knows this monitor does have HDMI

[xnakurax]

should i get this monitor, or the ASUS VH242H?

[2baylord]

good video. 1 sugguestion would b to anunciate cuz its a little difficult hearing u. i was wondering if u could tell me what and where 2 gt those 2 widgits on rt side of desktop(bottom2)

[TheTechjunky]

@2baylord English is not my first language so I try to do my best. You can get the widgets from microsofts gadget gallery website. just google it.

[aar0nxD]

@TheTechjunky Thanks -_-

[aar0nxD]

It has a lag because of your graphics card in your computer

[TheGoldenMiner]

Will my ps3 on 1080p Work on this Monitor?

[S3xiepapi69]

@TheGoldenMiner yes the ps3 can work but you have have a monitor that as HDMI Port so you can connect the from the PS3 to the back of the monitor and dell does have them too...

[TheTechjunky]

@TheGoldenMiner You can get a DVI or VGA adapter for HDMI and hook it up....it should work.

[persiandagh]

@TheTechjunky what if you have and hmdi cable( male and female)?

[pook110]

@TheTechjunky how do i set it with my computer speak? what kind of speaker spliter do I need? thanks

[UsmaanPro]

@TheGoldenMiner Of course! It definitely will.

[oibastard90]

@TheGoldenMiner yes dvi to hdmi cable

[Zokimaster]

What would help, would be showing file explorer (or similar), moving it with the mouse around on the screen. First with both visible on the video - your mouse and LCD, so we could see if LCD shows any latency (hopefully your mouse doesn't have own latency too) and then also recording LCD close with your camera, to see if text on the screen has any tail (because of the response time).

OK, that's just few ides. :)

[Zokimaster]

Also, you put the camera pretty far away from the monitor, so with the fact that the highest resolution of this video on youtube is only 480p, the screen of the monitor shown in the video uses only about half of this resolution, so everything what you show on the Dell is shown in about 240p resolution in youtube video.

So the best part is when you show how the game looks in HD resolution - very informative, yes. :D

[Zokimaster]

I'm using Samsung 2343BW which would be with it's 2048x1152 resolution best for me, if it wouldn't have limited viewing angles to 170/160. It can also be rotated on the stand, changing high, tilt and it has also PIVOT function. Too bad that you didn't show how it goes with viewing angles on Dell S2309W.

Also - your comment about the lag is useless, since we can't see how/when you moved the mouse, to compare it to the picture to check if there is any lag.

[Azshmo]

Recommendation: when you review a monitor, record it while it's on a completely black screen in a dark room so we can see whether there's backlight bleed.

[mikelsaint]

I can't seem to make my screen fit the entire Monitor. what do i change in the ATI to stretch it out?

[TheTechjunky]

@mikelsaint Try changing the screen resolution to high maybe 1920x1080 which is best for this screen size

[MysteriousKiwi]

@mikelsaint There is an option in the ATI Catalyst Control Center which fixes this. Set the overscan to 0% and it will fill the screen. Hope that helped!

[humbert0acevedo]

Is it good for watching movies? I use PowerDVD to make movies in HD.

[TheTechjunky]

@humbert0acevedo According to Dells website its HD so it should be good for DVD viewing

[SplinterCraig]

that is a pretty nice quality web cam, what kind is it

[TheTechjunky]

@SplinterCraig I used the Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 for this video but now I use the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema which is HD and widescreen capable unlike the logitech which cant do widesreen format.

[sultans90]

Does it reflect the light? thinking of getting one. thanks for the review!

[TheTechjunky]

@sultans90 No.....its got a matte screen. no reflection.

[PaperFc]

I just ordered the ST2410 monitor to replace my 19 in. and for my xbox 360.

[TheTechjunky]

@ColBuzby yes its heald up pretty nicely. its taken alot of beating from playing video games and movies over the past year and it functions like I got it yesterday.

the shiny bezel is also a nice compliment

[iDEADLYiDASHER]

you guys can use a dvi cable to hdmi if you want to play on ur 360/ps3

[bcta302]

Yes, because it supports HDCP...

[THEEEMOMELON]

this monitor has hdmi input, i got 1

[THEEEMOMELON]

[naterv11]

Recived my Monitor today...it is amazing....Im dual screening it with my 19" dell monitor and is a great experience. No dead pixels at all. If anyone has any questions about it PM me. =)

[rafay321]

[naterv11]

[rafay321]

hmmm .....well 9800gtx+ wont be enough for full HD resolution get the GTX260 or HD4870 to do the job.

[naterv11]

u replied on the wrong comment rafay321

[rafay321]

sorry mate...ma bad

[naterv11]

Not a problem...just wanted to let yeh know =D

[1liam192]

@rafay321 just wondering what you think of the nvidia geforce GTS 240? its the one on the dell xps studio 8000 unfortunately they arent giving you upgrade options on their site.

[rafay321]

GTS240 is a 128 bit card.....i don't recommend it

[hiteshah]

i have same one but its a 22 inch.

[TtFIRSTZxX]

Dell s2309w full HD?

Watch it please

[RATSHADY]

When I get my disability money I will buy this.

[TtFIRSTZxX]

Dell s2309w Full HD LCD? I don't think so. I am using it with a VGA and no GPU, juz like a normal LCD quality

[rifat2u]

hi, I like the review... I am planning to buy this monitor very soon. I also want to about its back light bleeding...is it noticeable? and do you recommend this monitor for photography or graphic tasks. I am using Samsung 943NWX with Ati HD4890 GPU right now will it be a good upgrade? thank you.

[bergtrein]

Ordered mine today for 177€

nice to see positive reactions, nice review!

[chuckmanbob]

[tmz90]

[calcu10000]

monster monitor!!!!!!!!

[KNWQA]

my screen is even lower, i must be really mesed up, lol!

[lilblackfish2009]

is it real hd on you tube

[Shark123100]

i like to multitask wud u think it would be good to have 2 of these set up as opposed to 1...really put off with the fact its propped up by a book...not good

[TheTechjunky]

if you are going for low budget its a great choice for multitasking with double display

[bcooper56]

Good review
