If you're looking to make the move to a 24-inch desktop monitor, put the Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP on your short list. The overall image quality on this versatile. 1.920-by-1,200 display is outstanding. and it offers an unusually large variety of multimedia connections. Its wide-color-gamut technology—which translates to vibrant images with great color fidelity—is icing on the cake.

This attractive display has clean lines with a thin black bezel and silver trim, while the back is predominantly silver with black grillwork. The panel is supported by a V-shaped base and mounting arm that provide the full range of position adjustments,
including height, tilt, swivel, and pivot maneuver-ability.

There are two additional USB ports
and a 9-in-2 card reader on the side.



The 2408WFP. with its 6-millisecond (gray-to-gray) pixel response, handled fast-motion video and 3D gaming quite well. I was unable to detect any sign of ghosting or lag while blasting my way through a round of F. E.A.R., and our test DVD looked spectacular. I did observe a slight loss of detail in the darker scenes, but it was barely noticeable. Although this display is expensive, its superb image quality, rich color rendition. adjustability, and multimedia functions helped it to garner an Editors' Choice and make it well worth the expense for those who demand the most in performance and features.—John R.
