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.

Duration of ownership:4 Days
Strengths: Large screen and 1920 X 1200 resolution, very good price
Weaknesses: It is very hard to get colors right
Overall Evaluation: Got this monitor from a Dell combo sale. It looks good initially and after a while, I found the colors are all "too bright" at default settings. I started adjusting the color settings and I just could not get them right. It is ok for browsing or casual usage. If you want accurate colors, avoid this monitor. The viewer angle of the monitor is also very limited. You will see the same color differently at different spots on the screen due to limited viewing angle.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: This monitor was on sale for $375 when I bought it off of dell.com. This made it the best priced 24" monitor I could find from a reliable source. The image quality and color balance is good after modifying the settings manually. The display sits at a goo
Weaknesses: The factory settings for color balance, brightness, contrast, and phase were way off. The image quality and color balance was pretty disappointing out of the box but after tweaking the settings things are much better. It does not display the full RGB gamu
Overall Evaluation: I have done work on the UltraSharp version of this monitor and the 27" variant and can say that this monitor holds its own in terms of image quality when compared to the others. As stated before, the monitor absolutely has to be adjusted out of the box in order for it to display colors correctly and images sharply. It does not display the full RGB gamut but it does well with what it can display. If you are doing professional graphics art or web development and need absolute perfection when displaying colors, don't get this monitor. If you are not a professional graphics artist then this monitor is a pretty awesome deal when you can find it on sale (after adjusting the settings). Extra USB ports are always good but the lack of USB ports on this monitor shouldn't detract from its value.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: display nice and sharp, when you can see it.
Weaknesses: Huge quality control issues with backlight or maybe too prone to damage to its electronics when being shipped. Smaller viewing angle than 2407 series monitors.
Overall Evaluation: Monitor's backlight was dead on arrival or very quickly started cycling on and off on THREE separate monitors I got from them in December 07. My old dell 2407WFP has been great but I'd suggest avoiding the E248WFP.
