Dell ultrasharp widescreen LCD monitor

Dell’s got a spanking new 20-inch widescreen flat panel LCD monitor. Based on the specs it should offer exceptional color accuracy, the Dell UltraSharp 2009W display is fully adjustable even down to the tiniest detail. Just by looking at the 2009W LCD monitor, you’d immediately know that underneath its elegant look are high end technology features waiting to be used and explored. The 20-inch size may not be enough for your personal widescreen viewing pleasure, but it is definitely more than enough to answer everyone’s need for additional workspace in their desktop computing needs.

The 20-inch high-resolution Dell 2009W displays 102% color gamut in a brilliant 2000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. This simply means that the 2009W monitor is capable of delivering wider and more accurate color representation of razor-like images and fluid motion. In fact, the Dell 2009W LCD monitor exemplifies what an HD display is all about. Clearer graphics, documents, video and even e-mail in a native 1680 x 1050 resolution and DVI with HDCP. This simple means that the 2009W can deliver superior, life-like clarity and stunning display of images and videos.

Not only will you get to enjoy crisp and clear image display, but you get to help save the environment as well if you use the Dell 2009. The UltraSharp widescreen monitor utilizes lesser electricity and power and produces less heat as well. The Dell 2009 is a good example of an environment friendly electronic product. Even in its packaging, the Dell uses environment sensitive product material. The Dell 2009 is the first Halogen-Reduced flat panel monitor.

Other features of the Dell UltraSharp 2009 widescreen monitor includes 5 millisecond response times, height adjustable stand, 4 USB 2.0 ports and premium panel guarantee. The Dell UltraSharp 2009W is currently available and retails for $289.

    that would be great using dual output, i have read about these recently, and the picture looks real sharp!

    Well it may look nice, but it’s really not that great… it’s just another 20-inch TN panel display. Older Dell 20-inch displays, like the 2007WFP, were much better, using S-IPS or S-PVA panels. The older models also had a better range of inputs!

    I bought this monitor for use in portrait view for reading documents, writing code, and sheet music. The screen is absolutely excellent for these purposes. However, it’s viewing angle is subpar where color consistency is concerned. In landscape view it’s noticeable from 90 degrees onward, but can be ignored. I regularly play Half Life 2 without issues. In portrait view you can throw color consistency out the window. Colors change dramatically at 90 degrees, obscuring pictures quite unpleasantly.

    For $280, the Dell 2009w fits my needs acceptably. Overall 8/10.

    I bought the Dell 2009W since their old trusty 2007WFP is no longer available. As is the case with Dell, you never get to see the monitor in action before you buy it.
    This monitor is not good at all. Typical TN panel quality. Colors are not accurate out of the box. The reds are pink. The top looks green and the bottom looks red. Use http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ LCD test and you’ll see what I mean.
    I used my Spyder monitor calibrator on it but could never get a satisfactory color. I move my head just one inch, and the color changes!
    But Dell does state that it’s an Ultrasharp model. Don’t believe it. It doesn’t deserve the Ultrasharp title. But it does look almost exactly like the 2007WFP.
    Not recommended! Anyway, I called Dell and they replaced it. But still the same thing. So I called again and they said they’d give me a refund.

    not a fan of this monitor. The text is very hard to read - no matter how much I change the bright/contrast/color settings, the whites are extremely bright and the text is paper thin and hard to make out if reading for any long period of time (at native resolution). Test is blurry at any setting other than native resolution. I’ve never been a fan of Dell accessories so I’m returning this one and will buy a monitor from another company.Can anyone recommend one?
