Dell's Thinnest Monitor Ever is a 23" 1080p LCD

[freggo]

I really don't care if they shave off another 11/64th of an inch in thinkness. I need more than 1080 lines to increase the work area.

So how long before 2560 x 1600 is the standard?

 

[drumsrule786]

Am I the only one who would like to see resolution on monitors go up instead of the thinness? 2560x1600 monitors are still really expensive and they are the best you can get. The retina display on the iPhone 4 is awesome (sorry apple haters), manufacturers should put that kind of pixel density into an actual monitor.

Apple would probably start a lawsuit over it. (Yeah I know there are other all in one pcs aside from Apple) but don't tempt them 😉

Dells new models are depressingly low quality. Old school dell screens (from 4-5 years ago) were always dead on for color, had great angles and minimized image retention. I have a batch of them from between a year and 3 years old, and they are all total crap. Not a single one has the same color temp out of the box and image retention is horrible on them. They really need to get their priorities in order, or I will be buying samsung from now on.

Thinner bezel for multi monitor setups, don't care much how thick or thin it is (after all its not portable). For all thats holy, some mounting capability. I do perfer the external power as it is easy to replace if it starts whining and buzzing rather than losing your whole monitor to a repair center. Just send a new brick. Silly way to plug a cable in, I perfer the vertical rather that having the plugs sticking out the back. Also, the dells always seem to be overpriced for what they offer unless they are on "sale".

Looks like a nice product, but I absolutely hate large, brand badges. If you go sleek, then the logo should be adjusted accordingly.

I'd much rather have a smaller bezel than a monitor with minimized depth. This does nothing for me.

If it's that thin, why not just mount it on the wall for extra versatility.

Only two inputs and no HDMI?
I would not even consider buying this.

.LG and Samsung put Dell to shame. Maybe not in thinness, but in image quality where it counts.
..
Actually, the Ultrasharp line was built by Samsung in the early 2000's, I have one from 2001 and it still runs and is awesome, not 16X9 of course, but it works so well have not had reason to get rid of it.

i want my 1920x1200 back on 15" laptops, stop forcing me to use 1080p

 

[gmp23]

I want the 47 inch version.

[citation][nom]davewolfgang[/nom]What are you talking about?? Every single flat panel I've gotten for myself, or a client (including one just two weeks ago) has the capability to be mounted and the base removed. most all the connectors are downward facing, including the power.[/citation]

Look at 1m15s - you can see... there are no VESA bracket support for a mounting unit. Like I said, for the past year or so, I'm seeing more and more consumer displays that don't have this option. Its not a big deal thou. Those who NEED the feature - will buy the monitors with the feature.

On some Monitors (Samsung) there is a pretty cover that can be removed to gain access to the VESA mounts.

No matter what, plugging in VGA or DVI - you have a thick cable facing dowards or outwards. The rear-facing ones are easier unplug but have obvious issues, the down facing ones have the problems with wanting to come DOWN just behind the screen and are tricky to hide.

Why it doesn't have Display Port is stupid.

1920x1200.. YAWN.

Some of us want 2500x1600 on a 27~28" screen for under $1000.

From the cheap $89 18.5" ones to the bigger 24" HD LED's. That is unusual though, because even on those "cheap" ones, most all the connectors are downward facing, including the power. That at least makes sense![/citation]

samsung syncmaster t240hd no way to mount.
24in 1920x1200 asus monitor, both have no mount ability

the 32inch tv does, and i think the 48in plasma, but thats something that to heavy to want to mount.

meh, i would rather have 1920x1200 oled, than a 2560x1600, if only because the oled will have a FAR bigger impact from casual use than the 2560x1600...

more screen relestate is nice, but oleds kick the ever loveing crap out of lcds... than again, i would also like an sed, but that will sadly never happen... very few people i wish death on, but the ones that held sed tech back for years till companies decided it wasn't a financially viable option...

 

[Marthian]

I don't care how big it is from the side, I want the bezels on the side gone. We should be at that point already...

[citation][nom]PreferLinux[/nom]What? In a TN, where it doesn't count one bit because it is so disgusting? Dell produces some of the best IPS professional monitors on the market.[/citation]
Is it possible to professionally calibrate a monitor that has its RGB greyscale settings maxed out by default? Let me clarify. Is it possible to do the calibration with nothing but the monitor's own hardware controls in this case?
