subject: Dell U2410 Monitor Review [print this page] The Dell U2410 Monitor is a very decent upgrade from Dell. Users will surely be attracted to this new Dell screen because it is a nice upgrade from the 2407 and 2408 versions. It was nice that Dell stuck with few things such as the many connectivity and ergonomic options. It was a very wise decision from Dell to incorporate those things. Plus, they also improved few things like the monitor responsiveness, input lag and viewing angles. They also throw in some extras like the new OSD style and 12-bit LUT for smooth gradients. Gamers will also love the 6ms response time which is great for displaying video and games without any ghosting or unwanted blurring.
Dell UltraSharp U2410 has lot of features that will make you decide to upgrade your CRT monitors. Some of its features are:
* Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture Multi-Views This feature is also available in the Dell U2410 Monitor but if you plugged in DVI or HDMI you will only be able to choose VGA, DisplayPort, component or composite as the alternative source.
