[crotchrocket74]

how did you remove that speaker bar?

Thanks for the review, Are you sure that there is a Microphone jack in the speaker bar?

1 more question do you know on the dell p2011h does it have (2) 2.0 ports or (4) 2.0 ports

[FreeCompConsultant]

@123hjones Best thing to do is look up the specs on Dell's site.

[123hjones]

DO THIS MONITOR HAVE (2) 2.0 PORTS OR (4) 2.0 PORTS

[FreeCompConsultant]

@123hjones 2 on the left side and 2 on the bottom - 4 total

5:4 not 4:3

[FreeCompConsultant]

@kukif Both exist. 640x480 is 4:3, 800x600 is 4:3, 1024x768 is 4:3, 1280x1024 is 5:4

[kukif]

@FreeCompConsultant native resolution is 1280x1024 so 5:4 see at dell.com

Do you just not like widescreen monitors?

[FreeCompConsultant]

@Leethellama Not for the typical business user. I have 2 widescreen on my own desk, but they are 24" - most businesses will not spend the money for a large enough widescreen monitor.

As I stated in the video, if you get paid to watch movies at work, or use spreadsheets with LOTS of columns, widescreen is the way to go. Most others get a better monitor for the money with standard aspect ratio.

@FreeCompConsultant Ahh I understand thanks for responding.

[Mayhemm007]

Very nice walk-a-round. You describe my views on widescreen pretty well. I don't like the trend towards the 16:9 aspect ratio (especially on laptops) due to the reduced viewing height.

This is the first review of yours I've seen so I don't know if this is typical, but how well does it actually work? Color accuracy, ghosting, backlight quality, etc. What about the actual performance?

[FreeCompConsultant]

@Mayhemm007 We use this in business environments, Windows XP/7 with MS Office.

For what we do they are a superb performer, but we have no need to test color accuracy nor do we have any high end graphics applications.

thanks.

@FreeCompConsultant

That's essentially what I want to use it for, so it's good to know. I just thought it was strange to see a display review where the display isn't even turned on. Thanks anyway.

[allal001]

love it thanx for posting we do appreciate

Actually, I like using a "wide screen" better @ work, because I can display more cells in Excel.

[FreeCompConsultant]

For some people, yes, wide screen works out well. But spreadsheets with lots of columns are typically only used by some accountants.

If that is the case for you, take a look at my video on the Dell 2407 (now 2408) 24" widescreen. They have a sound bar for that monitor also.

I have 2 of the 2408's on my desk.
