Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Cheap,adjustable height stand
Weaknesses:No usb ports, viewing angle is bad, response time so so
Overall Evaluation: This is entry level 24" LCD and that is why it is cheap. DO not expect a lot from it and definitely not for gamers. You can watch video but not very fast and sometimes blurry.For the price you can not go wrong though.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Reasonably priced. Has 2 inputs (VGA & DVI)
Weaknesses:Low viewing angle.
Overall Evaluation: As the economical model of Dell's 24" LCD, this screen uses cheaper panel. As a result, the color of what is displayed on the screen changes as you move your head sideways 1-2 feet. This is not a problem for text-based tasks such as word processing, but I would not recommend this for photographic work. Also, when connected via VGA cable at 1600x1200 resolution, there seems to be a lot of noise especially around the edges of the screen, which I cannot eliminate after 30 minutes of adjusting. The supplied VGA cable is relatively small in diameter, and this may be causing the noise. I have not tested DVI input.

Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks
Strengths: Colors are good, even thought it's only 6-bit. Great response time.
Weaknesses:Poor viewing angles. Issues with image lock.
Overall Evaluation: I'm comparing this to my five year old 20" widescreen 2005FPW which works like a champ and the best monitor I've ever had.The colors are vibrant even though it's a 6-bit screen. However, the viewing angles are quite poor. Especially the vertical. Just standing throws off the color scheme quite a bit compared to when sitting in front of it. Response time is great. However, the monitor has a tendancy to lose image lock for half a second and refresh at even simple windows events like an install. My 2005 never did that.

Duration of ownership: 10 Days
Strengths: Big Size, Relatively low cost, High resolution, Ample input options, HD ready
Weaknesses:n/a, a higher contrast and faster response rate would be great (but would cost much more)
Overall Evaluation: I bought this as part of my dell desktop system. So far it has been working perfect to my expectation. My system is using the 8600gt 512mb video card and works flawlessly with this high resolution lcd. I can play game at fast frame rate and see little to no ghosting. Seriously for the size and price..the minimal ghosting is negligible. Also I was able to connect PS3 and Wii on this screen without a problem. I also have a big 47" HDTV which is brighter and with higher contrast but then it costs so much more. In summary, for a computer monitor and gaming this unit is excellent for it's price point. Yes there are better option, but will cost you much more. You decide if that's worthy to you...not to me though.
