Hi,
Need some help as i'm not able to decide as to which one of these two to go for.
The Dell USA site (Dell 22" Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor ) says, the ultrasharp ones carry a premium panel warranty, which would mean a replacement for even a single dead pixel.
How is it with the SP2208WFP?
I guess, earlier the price of the ultrasharp model used to be more than that of the SP and E models. This was a little less confusing, ultrasharp panel costs more than the other ones, so it has got to be better of the lot
But now it goes for about 1K lesser than the SP model.
Which one of these is better, the actual display-wise ? (just the screen, without bothering about hdmi, cam, mic ...)
The SP model's specs say 2000:1 'dynamic' contrast ratio which people seem to say needn't be given a lot of weightage over the normal 1000:1 contrast ratio of the US one. But the page for the US model says 1000:1 dynamic ratio (typical) in the overview :S
The US one looks, to me, really neat compared to the silvery SP model

The v shaped stand + the black bezel score for me over the oval base and the silver-coloured bezel of the SP. Matte scores over the glossy display too
My 3 year old laptop's screen when it was bought seemed to be super bright but looking at the newer glossy displays it seems to be just too dark
So I can probably live with a glossy display though matte still is a preference
But the SP model does seem to have a faster response time at 2ms compared to the other models. This display, atleast for sometime, is going to be used for watching tv
, so lesser response times would be good. It's primarily going to be used for having a full screen vim window open for programming, text-editing
with occassional gaming or watching of movies.
i suspect, had the SP model been with a black bezel (guess S in SP means Silver though
) i would without any doubt go for it
hyeah:
Excuse the long post and please shoot in your suggestions
