Does anyone have any experience with Dell screens and color accuracy?
It's a Samsung screen (same as in 243T), but the PSU and other internals are BenQ.
The picture is beautiful, the lighting is very even. However, the dang power supply is too noisy for me. Once it heats up, it starts to whine.
I can't live with that, so I ended up returning it.
It seems that almost all of the 20+ displays these days have switched to internal supplies.

color is fine. it sucks at handling 1080p. but my experience with them is somewhat limited. the most annoying thing is that the 24" is not 16:9 or whatever, so there's an ugly black border around 2 sides of the image when you're watching HD.

Every computer screen I've heard of is 16:10, so this "problem" is not really Dell related.

Can you elaborate?

Exactly which content comes in 1080p these days... or even near future?
I haven't seen one true 1080p clip on the net these days... all of the, so called 1080p, videos that I have seen are actually upsampled 1080i.
Who cares?
I'd buy Apple because of the badge and it looks way nicer.
And...Apple will probably update it's line of LCDs soon anyhow.
Look at the iMac screen for clues...

There are also standalone video scalers/processors that output 1080p from an 1080i input.
What's the point? No new info added to the picture.
Apple's 1080p stuff I'm not sure about. Haven't checked it lately, but it appeared it definitely looked like upsampled 1080i.

That's the spirit... even if the display is a mock-up!
