Sure, 1080p HDTVs aren’t exactly an ultra luxury in this day and age, but a 1920 x 1080-pixel panel to your desk? That’s a privilege often enjoyed by stock brokers, graphic designers, and people folks who understand how to overcome the technology ordering system at work. Luckily, Dell’s new UltraSharp U2412M isn’t ultra expensive, delivering 1080p resolution with its 24-inch LED-backlit display. It also features in-plane switching (IPS) with a large viewing angle, a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, DisplayPort and DVI connectivity, a built-in USB hub, and height adjustability. Oh, and it retails for $399. That price ticket may make you reconsider spending a further $200 per inch for Apple’s new $999 Thunderbolt Display , though Dell’s 24-incher notably lacks a built-in webcam, and is somewhat limited within the connectivity department. Still, we adore to work out HD monitors that do not cost greater than many all-in-ones , and, knowing Dell, you have to be capable of finding the U2412M for only retail, assuming you’re willing to check your patience with that 17-inch CRT for about a more weeks.
