Dell puts out two budget IPS-based displays | Electronista

Thought i would give the heads up, $300 for 23" IPS monitor

Too bad they're not 16:10. I wanna Dell IPS someday...

Still pretty tempting when I will add a second display right after changing my video card:)

Figures, I just bought a 24" ultrasharp 2 weeks ago!

Nice! IPS is the way to go. My Philips 24" is amazing...such a better viewing angle!

Sorry, no 16:9 displays for me.

HOWEVER, if you guys are looking for 16:10 monitors you better grab them up while you still can. Over the next 12 - 18 months you will see all major panel manufacturers transitioning to almost exclusively 16:9 units. There will still be certain high-end units sporting 16:10 but the vast majority will be 16:9.

This is due to substrate sizes which allow for quite a bit of loss when producing 16:10 panels. 16:9 means an LCD manufacturer can fit more panels on a single piece of substrate which in turn makes them more of a profit.

for the common man, sky, what would you recommend 16:10 wise? switched all me lcd's to 24 16:9 due to media stuff, but i do miss some more desktop place ;)

This. Already seen the shift in the laptop market over the last year and believe me it pisses me off. Time to stock up on 16:10s!

Am I the only folks here who don't make it a scene of 16:10 vs 16:9??? haha:P Dell will probably do like samsung and other and keep some new model in 16:10 for few years even with new panel and tech. No worrie about that.
