Anyone got the G2410 LED Backlit screen from Dell? Is it any good? worth paying the extra from the standard TN screens? I understand it's got a TN Panel still, so if you've got any suggesions on a non-TN screen that would be great! Looking to spend in the £200-300 region!
Many thanks
The general consensus is that it's not that much better than a standard TN screen.
What will you be using the monitor for may I ask?
It appears the cheapest non-TN 24" monitor costs no less that £400 atm. Examples of the most popular ones. with the type of panel technology after the /.
Dell 2408WFP / S-PVA | Review1 | Review2
HP LP2475w / S-IPS | Review1 | Review2
Nec 24WMGX3 / AMVA | Review1 | Review2
But if you don't mind 22", then you can get a Dell 2209WA / E-IPS screen for under ~£200 from Scan, eBuyer, Novatech & a few others.
Using it for Web Design, so colour representation is quite important.. which is why I thought the LED backlit screen may be an option.
I've been looking at the Dell 22" ideally I did want a higher resolution than what that supports, so I guess I'll have to consider my options and possibly bite the bullet and go for a £400+ IPS screen. There seems to be such a gap in the market for IPS screens at a cheaper range!
Thanks for all your input, crossbow!
It's not S-IPS, it's e-IPS :)Quote:

Any difference between E-IPS and S-IPS?
Better / worse?

You're welcome, chrisdarl :)

At work though we've got dual Dell 2408s and all we run on them is terminal, Firefox and a Java development environment - it's enough to make a graphic designer weep :)
