Conclusion
After testing this unit, i realise some tuning needed before u can start enjoying this panel.The preset
is really not up to my satisfactory comparing to my samsung 2232bw i owned, but once i set to custom
rgb colour everything just looks alright, brightness and contrast is well enough, still no samsung,lol
But it does have really fast response time being a tn panel, what really suprise me is there is hardly close to
no banding issue, and backlight bleeding on my received panel. Lucky me hhehehehe~
Going through everyday use on pc i have found 16x9 ratio actually more comfortable for me, because i tends to have
alot of media uses the ratio, hence fullscreen goodness. While on console end, i have a blast playing metal gear solid 4 in full hd,1080p glore
its very enjoyable, decent colors and brightness really makes it a ideal choice for those with limited budget for large lcdtv(3 for price of 1 in my country).
The Dell 2409W combines a stylish housing, and great features such as HDCP compatibility on its DVI port,component support on rgb/dvi port,
with very impressive image quality. It’s a combination that means that it wins my heart and should well deserve a award IMHO.
