Performance
Compared to a similarly priced Gateway 24-inch LCD, and a more expensive NEC, the Dell UltraSharp stayed very competitive on our image quality tests. It tied the Gateway in overall quality, and lagged behind the NEC by only a very small number. Digging into the test scores a bit deeper, we found that the Dell UltraSharp was, indeed, ultra sharp, and as good in overall crispness as the more expensive NEC. We were also very happy with the color quality, especially during our World of Warcraft, Kill Bill (Vol. 1) standard-definition DVD, and Swordfish Blu-ray tests.
Our major complaints were that its grayscaling didn't do very well at very bright white and very dark black, and in general the scaling between shades of gray lacked the intensity of the Gateway and the NEC displays. We also found the intensity of static color lacking as well. That leads us to our conclusion that we like this monitor much more for its moving image capabilities, rather than for photo editing or other tasks where you need to stare at static images for long periods of time.
