January 25, 201313 yr Hi, I just wanted to share my going-over these two displays with you guys.. Please note that is how I saw the monitors in the store! And this is a comparison between the two and not a review "I don't own any of them YET" ## DELL S2340M - Pros: o The colors are so alive and far from any PC monitor I’ve seen before o Sharp and crisp pictures o Wide viewing angles o Stylish with very elegant gray bezel at the bottom o Reasonably priced ($165~$199 at the time of this review) o IPS panel - Cons o I strained so much to make the monitor show WHITE but I couldn’t. Tried it with warm & cool and with every setting available, it just show “yellowish tinted WHITE” o Build quality is really bad, I could see between the frame and the panel, I end up pressing softly against the panel to find out that it is spongy all over, ike it’s made of flimsy plastic o These monitor are very reflective, I own a MacBook Pro and I’ve seen a lot of iMac’s around me. If I’ll give a score to the MacBook Pro in reflectiveness it will be: “3.5 out of 5” while S2340M “4.5 out of 5” o Short stand, making the monitor stand lower than anyone would prefer o No HDMI input OVERALL: 74 out of 100 ## DELL S2440L - Pros o Solid build, the glass look rigid with no spongy spots what so ever o Touch sensitive OSD buttons o Edge to edge glass o HDMI input o A bit responsive than the 2340M, although this is in paper and I couldn’t tell the difference or notice it o The white does look white and the contrast overall seems better, colors are good but not as the 2340M’s o Reasonably priced ($179~$240 at the time of this review) - Cons o Short stand, making the monitor stand lower than anyone would prefer o The Viewing angles are lower than the ones on the 2340M o Very reflective, if I’ll give a score to the MacBook Pro in reflectiveness it will be: “3.5 out of 5” while S2440L takes “4.5 out of 5” o Glass seems distant from the panel somehow, it gives the feeling of looking inside a box OVERALL: 86 out of 100 * Note that I lowered the brightness on the monitor and take my phone to watch for any pulse-duration modulation (PDM) And during my changes I end up with nothing. I can’t guarantee that this the case on your panel though S2340M ## 23" S2340M - 1920 x 1080 resolution - IPS panel - W-LED backlighting - 7ms G2G response time - 1000:1 contrast ratio - 8 million:1 dynamic contrast ratio - DVI and VGA inputs S2440L ## 24" S2440L - 1920 x 1080 - AMVA panel - W-LED backlighting - 6ms response time - 5000:1 contrast ratio - 8 million:1 dynamic contrast ratio - HDMI and VGA ** Pictures above are in excessive light environment You could also adjust some settings over your PC that might be helpful for some problems that I encountered!
