SP2208WFP OR 2209WA (VS) E2200HD OR G2412HD OR S2409W

Dell panels are simply fuber .. i own one myself, and its almost a 2 year old panel now, but is still unrivaled by new panels .. most people think oversaturated and overbright panel = best IQ .. but unless one panel can reproduce the near-true color that the image shud be, its not a good monitor at all. Samsungs have awesome blacks, but it slightly over saturates reds for my, and thats even with T220HD .. The Dell panels that i've tested till date may produce a slightly less effective black, but the color reproduction is almost natural .. Benq, AOC simply produce monitors at a good price. If u can afford Dell its worth every damm penny, if u cant dont complain and settle for something in your budget. But the quality of Dell panels remains a class apart ..

Good find regarding the backlit LED series.
But they were not available with Dell 20 days back (when I talked to them). Good luck if u find them. Yes LCD backlight are said to increase the colour gamut. I have seen them only in Dell XPS laptops and they look cool (albeit a bit colder bluish...but that can be adjusted).

If you are really looking for highend also look for the Samsung 120hz. According to Toms hardware Anandtech (either of these two, dont remember exactly... so dont pull my leg)
They were performing very good.

But a word of caution......Individual prices of dell are higher than group order. So head over to here *www.techenclave.com/dealers-paradise/dell-s2409w-rs-12750-shipped-you-140163.html and order from Phoenix (I am not promoting anyone... just telling you how to get a good deal. Its your choice. Bty ... I know him ...so he is dependable... can give him my reference).

To the mods: Why cant we have our own dealers section like this ^????

@savagex - I had bought my Dell Monitor directly from Dell. Contact Harish - I guess he's the one who attends everybody's call around India.

@Shadowfax2009 - you mean LED backlights increases color gamut, Right?

@deathvirus_me - Dude, don't talk in general. You gotta be specific about models. It is not like Dell>samsung>benq etc., 2209wa>S2233>S2209W>E2400HD etc.,

Not the samsung models always produce bad colors and Dell always produces good colors. Of course most of the Dell monitors are trustable than samsung's ones. But there are/might be some better monitors in samsung, BenQ, L.G etc.,

 

[Shadowfax2009]

Yes
Experts seem to think so .... That LEDs produce purer whites and so increase the colour gamut. There various kinds of LED arrangement and picture quality will vary accordingly. Most LCDs have a layer of LEDs behind the TN film that dim and brighten together to produce more dynamic contrast... (According to experts .... its more of gimmick than actual use).... Better series have local dimming of LEDs in areas of darkness .... The professional LEDs dont have white LEDs but triads of red green and blue LEDs to produce the purest of colours....

Will give Phoenix your reference.

Thanks anyways guys...

S2209WA in 22 inchers!

S2408WFP in 24 inchers all the way! Maybe i am a bit late in my reply!

The S2209WA is based on an S-IPS panel. Brilliant for colour apps and viewing angles. Buy it, eyes closed...

 

[emmarbee]

What's the 'S'2209WA - guys are talking about? and what's the S-IPS panel?
Isn't that 2209WA and e-IPS?
However - its a best buy hands down!
