Hi,
I have bought Dell S2409W recently by seeing all the good reviews and I must say I am disappointed. I sold off my 22" samsung 2233sw to buy this 24 incher.
The black levels are very poor. The details in the black shades are lost. Dark regions of the movies are completely lost.
The brightness is also very very low compared to samsung. In my old lcd I used to keep the brightness levels below 50 always and still it was very bright. Now I am using this at 100 without satisfaction.
I used this link previously to check the dark levels
Black level - Lagom LCD test
Old samsung showed all levels except first two. In dell I am not able to distinguish upto 9 whatever settings I change.
The only +ve compared to 2233sw is the Stand, little less blacklight bleeding(First of all there is low brightness then how will light bleed) the extra 2" and HDMI Input.
Although the Black light bleed in 2233sw is not too bad. it has some comparatively.
In pursuit of Larger and better brand I think I screwed up pretty badly with this deal. I am missing my samsung now.:huh:
Please add your comments and suggestions.
