Which older monitor is better?

[rjo98]

Hi everyone. I've been offered a free monitor, but now the hard part, determining which one is better. They are both Dell, one is a E207WFP, the other a 2009W. Looking online it appears they both have the same response time and native resolution, but i'm not sure what other things are important to compare between the two?

They both look pretty much the same at first glance.

i would defently pick the 2009W, it's presumably newer than the other, they're advertising the E207 as Vista compatible whereas the 2009W is advertised as Windows 7 compatible (so it's newer!).
it also claims a higher contrast ratio, though i can't find the avaible connections on the 2009W (though probably atleast one VGA or DVI input).

So pick the 2009W, hope this helps!

Thanks. I really wasn't sure, and the 2009 has a higher contrast but it says "dynamic", so wasn't sure if that meant it was truly that high or just some marketing ploy.

The Ultrasharp would be my pick. It has a brilliant stand, the Heignt adjust is a must have if you want the screen at a specific height on your desk.

Sounds like the 2009W may run away with this vote! thanks for the reply.
