You need to browse through the small & medium business category to find it (cannot get at under home and home office) http://www1.ap.dell.com/my/en/business/mon...s=bsd&cs=mybsd1
First time I also can't find it as well.

You can't compared the E-IPS with those more expensive IPS panel.

2209WA E-IPS at 799
24" IPS at 1699

I don't find it is fair to compare with higher end IPS panel as price wise differentiate so much. But for me, compared with TN panel, it gives you better viewing angle, better colour + height adjustable + swivel, rotate, USB, it seems competitive already. While price wise differ not too much, not more than 200 more expensive.

The reason I choose it, I can't find any panel besides TN which below 1000 (because if can (price wise), I try to avoid having another TN panel, mainly due to viewing angle which I sometimes I need to see the screen while standing.

I don't see the review given too bad comment about it, it is surely not a perfect top notch lcd, but somehow it suits some area people needed, at least for me.

It is not realistic to expect to pay less than 800 then getting a top notch product, right?

1-1 replacement on my 2nd 2209WA which has dead pixel.
Their service is good.

Brand new.

If they have stock, you should receive around 2-3 business days. Which both my order was delivered exactly 2 business days.

So probably you will receive on Wednesday.

Just make your whole screen into black, white. If there is (touch wood), you can see tiny dot.

Logistic company doesn't care or wait for you to check. They said their job is delivery, they are not from Dell. Anything regarding warranty claim, need to call their customer service. They will arrange for replacement aka advanced 1-1 replacement, which took about 4 business days for my previous case.

At 60Hz for CRT, although it cannot be totally seen, but I can notice/sense something is wrong on the screen which make the eye tired.

I don't like too bright, so bightness set at 10, contrast at 70.

Most my LCD, now and previous, I always set brightness at low level.

Everyone preference is different, the most important you feel comfortable with it.

Zero dead pixel only applied on premium panel (aka most ultrasharp series, they got stated at below) others, if not mistaken, 5 dead pixels policy as same as most manufacturers.

Set your whole screen into white/black, red or other colour, then spot got any different colour dot.

My guess, this has a lot to do with manfacturing cost and convenience, which 23" could be more cost effective to produce.

My wild guess only.

It is about physical hardware problem, software cannot detect it.

Even you have lot of dead pixel, you printscreen the page, you won't able to see the dead pixel.

Your GC send the signal to the screen, then the lcd screen response to the signal, there is no feedback loop from the screen pixel by pixel to verify the pixel is act according to the signal unless lcd manufacturers install the loop feedback mechanism in it, which I don't see there is a need for it as it just mean more costly only which defy the price competition on lcd industry and put the manufacturer in disadvantage situation.

24" Dell Ultrasharp model is PVA model, cannot compared with TN model, surely price wise 2x then.

It is very difficult to find non-TN LCD out there as non-LCD model surely price wise cannot compete with TN model one. Nowadays, shops are more concentrate on price wise/war to lure customers.

I owned it, ok with it, but if you want to compared with top-notch S-IPS panel which come in 4 digit one, surely no match.

But price wise is attractive as you top up a little compared to TN panel counterpart, you get better colour and viewing angle. Somemore got USB (which is useless for me anyway) and height adjusted and can swivel (which is useful for me).

Also you get zero dead pixel warrant for Ultrasharp premium panel.

Not to say this is surely good, but just at 799 with 100~150 more than TN panel counterpart, and with some extra features others most TN panel doesn't have, seem ok or fair deal.

There is no wuch thing of 16:10 aspect must be blur, it depended on your LCD native resolution.

Then it is your LCD or display setting problem, has nothing to do with 16:10 aspect.

If your 17" is not widescreen or not the native resolution of the LCD, then setting 16:10 surely blur then.

HD term has been totally being 'abused' by marketing lately. Nowadays, a lot of people just seek for HD without knowing what it HD about. More about feel good factor instead knowing the actual fact of it.

Simply go out to ask, what is HD? I can bet 90% of the people will tell the screen is more sharp and crisp. <-- which is not actually true, whether your screen is sharp and crisp or not, still depended on your source.

In actual fact, most people bought full HD to watch Astro only, which is kind of waste on the full HD. Pay extra couple hundred on full HD screen, but 99% of the time watching Astro which not yet a HD content, correct me if I am wrong.

Anything with 1920 resolution, they can put up Full HD lcd monitor already, as it is the standard, correct me if I am wrong.

So now in the market we have a lot of 22", 23", 24" with 16:9 Full HD.

But until now I still not fully understand why people say 16:9 is better. You just get less (or none) black bar on top/bottom when watching movie. But in ordinary computer stuff, 16:9 has less height.

I still see most office still using 4:3. As sometimes height also an import issue for seeing the whole document in length.

Seriously, I don't know how 30" can fit in ordinary table. Need to step backward to see the whole screen?

The marketing term nowadays on HDMI is more about marketing gimmick just like full HD.

As nowadays, most advertisement and marketing term make people taught HDMI quality > DVI, same like Full HD is screen is better/sharper than non-full HD one.

As if LCD monitor speaker is not better than ordinary speaker, then what the use of HDMI?

Most application, like ordinary dvd and movie and application doesn't require or utilise the capability of the Full HD. It depends on your source, most source are not Full HD, may be except the like blue ray dvd. Correct me if I am wrong

HDMI create some feel good factor for consumer to have it (no offence), so it is actually a good factor to drive sales, I don't see why manufacturers want to explain to consumer HDMI and DVI are actually same, which they can easily sell just by have HDMI instead of DVI.

If LCD speaker sucks why need HDMI? which something I don't quite understand.

Previously I used Samsung TN panel, then change to Dell 2209WA, side by side, can see the difference, which is obvious that most will pick the 2209WA by just see the picture.

Yup, have to agree, if not put side by side, then won't notice much different, except the viewing angle.
