Yeah that one does look quite decent, how would it compare to say

Since I currently have the Samsung SM 215TW, and I'm a little concerned that the upgrade to 24" just isn't that much more. Also my pc finally pretty much gave up today, so I orderd a new system, and by the looks of things the place i ordered from does things pretty fast, so I would like a new screen by the time my new system arrives, so I cancelled my Dell order.

Sat for me on only 50 %, brightness is 90% and contrast is 70%

Have you tested with higher sat.?

I did and prefer it as is. The colours are dandy for me

Is the BenQ G2420HDBL better then the Iiyama ProLite B2409HDS because of the LED backlight? I still haven't decided on which monitor to buy.

I think the main advantage of the Benq is the LED backlight.

I was tempted to get the Dell, but I think I'll go for the Benq now.

ahh mine is back and now 'in production' cant wait

time to reorganise my desk as my 2007wfp is gonna be used as a 2nd screen in portrait mode, hopefully my desk is big enough lol

Ordered mine last Thursady. Delivery on site said 26th Feb, got a phone call yesterday saying delivery today between 12-5pm. Its 5pm and no monitor as of yet.

What's the advantage of an LED backlight, if you'll excuse my ignorance...? :confused:

Not much to be honest. Sligthly lower powerconsumption.

Better contrast ratio, bigger range on the brightness settings, longer lifetime, lower power consumption (usually), and overall I prefer LED backlit screens, so I will opt for a LED backlit screen whenever I can.

Dazza - price has gone up, it was only on offer till the 27/01. Shame you missed out.

Arhh mine is in production apparently, they reckon it'll be delivered 26th of Feb, so I guess in reality within 2 weeks then.

When did you order? Mine said 26th Feb aswell and I ordered it last Thursday. Got it about 10 mins ago!!

Moeks · 29 Jan 2010 at 19:19

err 23rd, so last Saturday. I guess I might get it next week then

Pikey · 30 Jan 2010 at 07:55

I really wish i could have gone to the bank on wednesday and i would have had it by now, i really hate having to use the Families single core pc.

G1BB0 · 1 Feb 2010 at 09:03

ordered mine same day Moeks, 23rd Jan, est del date 26/2/10 still, hopefully get a call this week as working from home, sods law its when I am back in the orrifice grrrr

OCDan88 · 1 Feb 2010 at 18:29

Grrr!!! Not very happy! I ordered on the 20th Jan. They have taken payment but I have not received my estimated delivery date! My IR number does not work either

. Sent Dell an email hopefully hear from them soon.

maximum error · 1 Feb 2010 at 18:44

well its comforting to see people have got theres well before the expected delivery date. I order mine on the 26th of jan when they said "5 to 7 days" now my estimated date is the 2nd of March! Are people still recieving theres?

Is it possible to get full screen when using lower than 1920*1080 resolution?

When I play games in 1360*768 the size of the display is shrinked and the monitor doesnt use 1920*1080 pixels but only 1360*768. The other pixels just show black.
