  • Question on Monitors

    Posted by Mick Ruane on April 26, 2006 at 7:22 pm

    I recently purchased a new FCP system and have still to order the monitors. I can get a very good price on two Dell Ultrasharp 2405FPW 24″ widescreen LCD Flat Panel Monitors and was wondering if anyone had any advice on them. How do they compare to Apples own brand?

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    The one with DVI connection, right? I believe that they have the exact same LDC panel inside as the Apple monitors.

    Even if I’m wrong about that I know people around here have said they like theirs very much whenever someone asks about them.

    In two different expeiences with the same monitors two widescreens side by side is way too much horizontal space for mousing around. With the Dells I believe the 24 widescreen and the 17″ 4×3 are the exact same height, so side by side they are a perfect match. This setup is ideal for FCP, AE and photoshop and reduces the extra wideness of the two widescreens. And you’ll save a few bucks.

    IMO.
