Good deal, but no where near me in store.

In for 1 - Thanks op!

This monitor is 16x9 (1920x1080), just like a 1080p LCD TV would be. Most widescreen computer monitors 24 inches and up are 1920x1200. So you're losing 120 horiz lines of resolution, which will affect certain viewing/gaming modes.

Specs are wrong on BestBuy's site - Dell lists it as 1920x1200 resolution.
Key differences are 1000:1 contrast vs 1300:1 for the ultrasharp
also, the ultrasharp will allow you to adjust the height where this will only allow you to adjust the angle.
Third, the ultrasharp has a built in USB-hub and 9-in-1 card reader.
Last, the Ultrasharp retails for $689 vs $419 for this one (Dell has it for $329 on sale through Small-Business site)

Thanks PCMerlin, I was just going by BestBuy's specs. If this is the full 1920x1200, this is a very good deal.

is this monitor eligible for the 10% off bestbuy coupon?


   posted: Sep. 2, 2008 @ 10:16a

No problem, Hokie - good luck finding one, though - website shows "On Backorder" for me

(Posted the statement above before adding to cart - you can still order online, just have to wait a few days, I guess).

Its available at the Watertown New York Store#1089.

I got in on this deal. They would not take my 12% coupon. And I can verify it's 1920x1200, and its sweet!

The real key difference between this and the ultrasharp is in the type of LCD panel used. The ultrasharp has a wider color gamut and doesn't have the extreme color and contrast shifts when the viewing angle changes.

The E248WFP is a TN panel and the ultrasharp uses a SPVA panel .. TN Panels are cheaper so a lot of manufacturers are using this technology. A lot of people hate TN panels due to their poor color reproduction and poor viewing angles. But the way I see it, around 80% of the panels you see at a B&M are TN. So next time you're in a B&M, look for a cheap LCD monitor and check out the picture quality... if you are satisfied with it, then go for the E248WFP... but a lot of videophiles or photophiles prefer SIPS or SPVA...

here is a good link on the different types of panels http://www.pchardwarehelp.com/guides/lcd-panel-types.php
