Home office upgrade, new LCD!

Yesterday the new Dell 24” 2407WFP arrived for my home office, woohoo! I was really torn over which monitor to get, either the Dell 24” or Apple’s Cinema 23” display. The 30% off deal from Dell this week made it really easy in the end. The Dell was €400,- “cheaper”, 1” larger, has composite, s-video and component (PS2 already hooked up!) and finally even HDCP support for future HD-DVD/Blu-Ray/Playstation3 integration! Finally, OS X and Linux (again) in 1920×1200 :-)



Specs:

Screen size 24”
Native resolution 1920×1200
Contrast ratio 1000:1
Brightness 450 cd/m2
Response time 6 ms
Inputs
  • DVI (with HDCP)
  • VGA
  • Composite
  • Component
  • S-video
  • 4x USB + card reader

    Whao nice!

    Ik zoek ook een beeldscherm waarmee ik in de toekomst de PS3 op aan kan sluiten en nu de PS2, dit ziet er heel goed uit!

    Is that a Mac Book Pro 15" or 17"? According to Apple, 17" can get a resolution up to 1680×1050, 15" up to 1440×900. How it comes that you’re using 1920×1200?

    @justasking: it’s a Mac Book Pro 15" running at 1440×900, but it’s also driving the external 24" display at 1920×1200 through the DVI interface (the MBP can drive external displays up to 2560×1600 since it’s dual-link)

    And yes it is sweet! :-)
