Unboxing vid. If it doesnt show right away its still processing.

Sry for quality.

Hi. I am watching your unboxing video on the monitor you are unboxing. should have unboxed it on the floor so you don't get little bits of polystyrene all over your leather couch. :/

So silly.

Update on this monitor: Still loving it... but then again, I've never experienced high end monitors that cost £500+.

I am having some backlight bleeding as well as colors seem off. Dell is replacing it. Anyone else suffering from these issues?

I have backlight bleed on the top and bottom of the screen pretty badly... and 1 dead pixel. I might give Dell a call to see if they can replace it too.

Just called Dell about the backlight bleed issue and they have a replacement coming to me tomorrow! Great service, hopefully this new one won't have any backlight bleed or dead pixels

what are comparable alternatives to the st2410 at the right price

looks like the price of these has gone back up... I am looking for a a decent 23-24"
what are comparable alternatives?
and what made this one stand out

The fact this was a Dell monitor, full HD resolution, 24" and reduced from £200 to £150 at the time.
Comparable models probably going to be the Iiyama Prolite or whatever it's called, there's a Ben-Q one as well along with the LED monitor all around £150

Well I have had mine a week now, and I am quite happy with it, no dead pixels, minimal back-light bleed, no more than expected anyway but there is a touch. The viewing angles actually aren't that bad for a TN ...best I have seen anyway. Colours seem a little washy but I was using an IPS display before so I guess that's no surprise.

I think it was a damn good buy at £150 or so, I don't think I wouldn't pay the full price for one of these though ...as there are some better displays priced rather closely then. If you had told me 3 years ago I could buy a monitor like this for £150 ...which is less than 2 tanks of fuel in my car ...I would not have believed it until I saw it for myself.

mattbill · 4 Mar 2010 at 10:59

I wouldn't have paid more than £150 for the screen either, but at £150 it is a great deal... got my replacement and it is 100% better, no dead pixels and no back light bleed!

Only thing I wish they would do is have a replacement stand for the screen with height adjustment etc, i.e. like the 2407WFP!

For the money its a great buy.

I wish I had bought two now.

Awahwah · 4 Mar 2010 at 16:45

Agree with the above, should have brought two

codexavellum · 4 Mar 2010 at 20:33

My new one also has backlight bleeding and it was manufactured in February 2010

kellaway225 · 25 Mar 2010 at 13:03

i have been looking for a monitor for my new desktop
i have seen some but cant seem to decide

what is the screen like on this monitor?
how bad is the light bleed?
Has anyone had any major problems with the monitor?

Awahwah · 25 Mar 2010 at 16:27

No major problems - great monitor for the price I paid for it.

kellaway225 · 25 Mar 2010 at 16:33

shame its no longer £150

tried looking but cant find it anywhere for that price now

Awahwah · 26 Mar 2010 at 10:41

was a bargin, should have brought two

oh well.

sammo62 · 26 Mar 2010 at 14:29

I'm literally still waiting for mine!

Emailed them and they gave me some spiel about it being a very popular product. Would be more tempted to cancel if I was planning on buying my new PC soon, but as it is im waiting another month.

Awahwah · 7 Apr 2010 at 11:49

Hope it arrives soon

sammo62 · 7 Apr 2010 at 12:34

lol this is a joke.

2 emails from Dell- we hope to have your order soon but it is very busy. They cant even give me an ETA.

Seriously tempted to cancel and just get the Iiyama 24"

Ordered 3 and you CAN wall mount them if...

...you're a bit handy.

If you look in the back of the monitor, the base is attached by 3 screws into a basic metal plate. Home Depot sells a hardened metal L-bracket that's close to the same width and about the same thickness. I picked up 6 with some screws, nuts, and drilled some holes and trimmed metal to the same shape. Then I painted them black and attached to some basic arm wall mounts. It came out better than I expected and can pull the monitors over to either my drafting table or desk. The look is really cool and only cost about 12 bucks and some elbow grease:

That's pretty impressive, I'd been wondering if there was a vesa mount work around

TheSinister1 · 29 Jun 2010 at 18:26

Here's something really funny: I posted these same pics in Dell's comment section about the monitor. I can see other people's recent posts but not mine. I'd hate to think that was done on purpose but I posted this 2 days ago and still nothing.

Maybe it was a mistake?

Maybe Dell doesn't want anyone to do what I did and not spend the extra money on a more expensive model with VESA holes?

***UPDATE: Dell posted the review. Took 4 days but it's in the Dell forums.***
