INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

   During the past few years everything in the Computer industry has taken a plunge, price-wise always, from HDDs and Optical drives, to Memory modules and LCD screens and so while a few years ago you would need 2000Euros to build a great system not you need almost half as much. The best price drops for the consumer have been recorded in LCD screens and so you can now buy a 26 inch LCD screen with the same amount of money as you would spend to get a 20 inch LCD screen roughly 3 years ago. A few months ago we had the opportunity to present to you the latest NEC 26 inch LCD screen the, EA261WM which featured a TN panel and had a good image quality. Today we push the envelope a bit higher by bringing you a 27 inch LCD screen featuring the latest S-PVA panel by Samsung, the DELL Ultrasharp 2709W.

   Now Dell may not really be as well known inside the EU as it is in the USA but over the last 5 years they have made gigantic leaps when it comes to sales inside the EU mainly because of the great quality of their products and their unsurpassed service. The Dell Ultrasharp 2709W is an S-PVA LCD Screen with a diagonal size of 27 inches that can go up to 1920x1200 resolution and thus output native 1080p and then some. Of course some say that 1920x1200 is low for this screen but over the past month that i have been using it i found no such thing to be true. It may apply however to professionals but i really doubt that since most i know use 24 inch LCD screens. But let's move onto the rest of the review so you can see what i mean.
