Dell SP2309W

By admin on April 21st, 2009

The bezel of the 23-inch Dell SP2309W is a striking, glossy black that reflects everything, but it also attracts many fingerprints. The bezel measures a short 0.75 inch long on all sides, and the middle of the bottom bezel has a slightly raised silver Dell logo on it. In the top center of the bezel is an integrated 2-megapixel camera. The panel is nearly 1 inch deep. (By comparison, most 24-inch models we’ve tested have a panel depth of more than an inch). A thin, 1 centimeter strip wraps around the outer edge of the panel, bringing the panel width to 22.1 inches–average for a monitor of this screen size.

All-around great performance; high 2,048×1,152-pixel resolution; intuitive, customizable, and unique onscreen display; integrated 2 megapixel webcam; 360 degree rotation; screen height adjustment; multiple USB ports.

With its low price, great performance, and many features, the Dell SP2309W is a sound buy for a 23-inch monitor.

Samsung SyncMaster 2233RZ

By admin on April 21st, 2009

The Samsung SyncMaster 2233RZ offers great movies and games performance and has a useful onscreen display. The monitor is aesthetically pleasing and is compatible with Nvidia’s 3D Vision Kit. We saw cleaner textures in fast-moving games in the 120Hz mode.

The Samsung SyncMaster 2233RZ is expensive for what it offers. It only supports DVI. There’s no screen height adjustment, rotation, or pivoting.

The Samsung SyncMaster 2233RZ is the best choice for 120Hz 3D stereoscopic gaming on the PC, with great movie playback to boot. For all other needs, there are cheaper alternatives.

Dell UltraSharp 2007FP

By admin on April 21st, 2009

The 20.1-inch Dell 2007FP features the same two-tone color scheme and attractive, versatile design as other members of the UltraSharp family. A thin, black bezel frames the screen, and a slim neck extends from a Y-shape base. This design offers exceptional flexibility, with 45 degrees of swivel to the right and left and five inches of height adjustment. The panel also pivots from landscape to portrait mode and tilts 5 degrees forward and 20 degrees back. The pivoting action is a bit stiff, and the short back leg of the base makes the 2007FP a tad unsteady, but the overall merits of the design far outweigh these minor shortcomings.

Excellent image quality; lots of adjustments options; composite and S-Video ports; USB hub; picture-in-picture window.
No dedicated brightness or contrast buttons; onscreen menu is difficult to navigate; base is slightly wobbly.

The attractive Dell UltraSharp 2007FP combines superior image quality, a full range of adjustment options, and a fair price. The result is a 20-inch LCD that’s hard to beat.

The Fujitsu Siemens Zero-Watt Monitor is the world’s first power saving LCD monitor that absolutely uses no power at all when placed in a standby mode or in ECO Mode. The Fujitsu ECO Mode monitors are available in two models the 20-inch P20W-5 ECO and the 22-inch P22W-5 ECO. 

When placed in the power-saving modes, the power supply of both the P20W-5 ECO and the P22W-5 ECO LCD Monitors by Fujitsu automaticallys witches off to save power. In this state, the monitor draws zero watts resulting to maximum energy savings compared to its competitors that can save only from one to six watts when in the standby mode.

This is made possible through the power supply’s switch which is directly controlled and connected to the PC. Thus, the switch automatically breaks the electricity flow to the power supply when the monitor is placed on standby. What is amazing is just the tap of any of the keyboard keys will restore the connection.

The zero-watt models by Fujitsu can be tilted and its height adjusted. It has HDMI inputs, automatic brightness control which is again a power saving feature and has a response time of 5ms.

The 20-inch ECO displays which are now available for purchase, costs $620 but if you want bigger monitors just wait for the 24 and 26 inch models.
