Dell P2010H Unboxing

My 19" Philips monitor, which I was using with my Mac mini, decided to fail a few weeks ago, so I went back to using the 14" CRT which wasn't the best solution. Since I already have a Dell U2410, I chose the Dell P2010H to match the style. I picked this up (new) from eBay for £80 which is a great price for this monitor considering Dell are charging £165 for the same thing.

what screensaver do you have running on your imac ? I have the same imac as you and I don't think that is a default sccreensaver. Thanks!

@angusfan23 It's called Electric Sheep. Just Google it, it's the first result. It's cross platform and it's free. :)

Hey Jake! That looks like a very nice monitor. I have a question about the minimum total height of the monitor when it is rotated in portrait position and pushed down as far as it goes (bottom edged touching the base) in inches. My desk has a hutch and I fear that it will be too tall in portrait position. If you can help me this I would appreciate that very much. Great video and keep them coming. Looks like it was a breeze to hook up to your mac mini!

@brihan24 In portrait mode, the minimum height is 50cm, in normal landscape mode, the minimum height is 32cm.

@saleh94 It's called Electric Sheep. I think it's available for Windows, OS X and Linux.

useful video. im buying 3 of these for my new setup cause its the cheapest monitor that has displayport which is required for triple-head eyefinity. figures its the only cable they didnt include lol but 2 of mine will run on DVI so i only need to get 1 DP cord anyway. just wish it could go higher than 60Hz :(
