Computer Monitor Reviews: Dell SP2309W 23-Inch LCD Widescreen Monitor Review

I bought this monitor direct from Dell where incidently it was quite a bit cheaper (approx $250).I'm not surprised that the other reviewer doesn't like the speakers as it doesn't come with speakers (or at least it was an option at Dell and if you read the product features it doesn't mention speakers).There are two things that make this an excellent monitor for some people.The first is the resolution (2048 x 1152) which is higher than most high resolution 24inch monitors.Our company used to buy 24 inch Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP which are highly rated monitors with a 1920 x 1280 resolution but they cost about $550 (Dell currently has them on sale for $430).These are great monitors but are a tad pricey.The other nice feature is that the monitor is widescreen.In a business setting this makes it very easy to have two windows side by side and be able to compare.(Windows 7 by the way makes this very easy to do).The picture is bright and has that slightly glossy look to it that I happen to like.I can't comment on its use for gaming as I don't use it that way but for general business and home use, I think this monitor is a great value.People who might not like this monitor are those like their fonts large on the screen.The high resolution allows you to make the fonts smaller so you can fit more on the screen.If you change the optimal resolution (2048 x 1152) to make the fonts larger, they tend to distort (true of all LCD's).The other factor is there is no height adjustment on the monitor.You can change the tilt, but not the height.For some situations this may be a problem, but wasn't in my case.All in all, I really like my SP2309W and think it is a great value at ~$250.
