Home office upgrade, new LCD!

Posted by andy

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)
