Dell UltraSharp 2707WFP 27-inch Wide-Screen
"Big screens are the new black. It wasn't but a few years ago when people commented on my "tiny" 1280x1024 resolution on a 17" monitor, but now 1920x1200 on a large widescreen doesn't make people look twice. The fact is clear. There are numerous reasons for purchasing such a large monitor, but like most products, it will depend on your interests and needs. Personally, I didn't realize I had a "need" at all, until I received this monitor for review.

Moving up from my 1280x1024 resolution to 1920x1200 was mindblowing. You can compare the differences without even looking at the two monitors side by side. 1280x1024 offers 1.31 Megapixels, while 1920x1200 brings you up to 2.30 Megapixels. As impressive as that might be, that still comes nowhere near the 4.09 Megapixels that Dells own 30" monitor offers. What am I getting at?"

ViewSonic VX2435wm 24in LCD Monitor
"One can't help but feel slightly ambivalent about ViewSonic. In many regards its monitors have a great pedigree, but it has always suffered in the knowledge that the likes of Samsung, Dell and BenQ seem to punch just a little too high for comfort. But, that's no reason to dismiss ViewSonic out of hand and this 24in LCD has all the raw attributes to be a very good monitor.


As with all monitors of this size it has a 1,920 x 1,200 native resolution, which provides support for 1080p content and allows for two A4 pages to be set side by side at 100 per cent zoom. It uses an 8-bit P-MVA panel, sports a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, claim an 8ms grey-to-grey response time and an excellent 500cd/m2 brightness rating. Connectivity wise there's an HDCP compliant HDMI port, Component, S-Video, Composite, D-Sub and finally a 3.5mm audio jack for the internal speakers."

Dell UltraSharp 2707WFP 27" Widescreen LCD
"Here we are, it’s a new month and I’ve got a new LCD review for you, loyal readers of TheTechLounge! Again I’m reviewing a monitor from Dell, but this time it’s one of their high-end 27” LCDs.

Behemoth that Dell is, their market share has begun to shrink in the face of competition from the likes of HP and Apple. As we’ve seen, though, one area that Dell doesn’t slack in is the quality of their monitors. And at a regular selling price of $1199, it needs to be high quality. Of course, Dell is constantly running promotions and coupons, so if you keep an eye on our Hot Deals page you should be able to get one for about $100 less.

So how did the Dell 2707WFP fare after three weeks on my desk? Well, suffice to say the desk feels awfully small."

Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP-HC
"...Dell’s newest flat panel monitor raises the bar for productivity and PC gaming. The UltraSharp 3007WFP-HC sports an industry-leading 30-inch widescreen panel, and features a 92% colour gamut W-CCFL (Wide Cold-Cathode Fluorescent Lighting) backlight that delivers the latest in dynamic colour technology, making colours richer and enabling a more realistic multimedia experience. This glorious visual display comes at a price though - both in terms of financial outlay and desktop real-estate (690x200x470mm, 11.38kg)."
