Pros - LED backlit (deep blacks) - 1080p monitor - low power consumption (only $7 per year) - highly rated by expert reviewers - low cost - 1000:1 standard contrast ratio Cons - ambient light sensor - dynamic contrast (1,000,000:1); only changes overall brightness; does not have local dimming - no HDMI connection - TN panel (6-bit panel that can only produce 16.2 million colors; the rest are interpolated to "create" 16.7 million colors; true of all TN panels) - *** and the clincher -- LOW BRIGHTNESS (going green is not necessarily good) The Bottom Line: On paper, the Dell G2410 looks exceptional. Expert reviews, large screen size, LED backlighting, and low price seem to make the Dell G2410 a great deal. And it would be a great monitor if it weren't for the low brightness. Out of the box, Dell presets their brightness and contrast at 75. At this point the monitor looks bright. But when watching a movie, the colors are washed out. The optimal contrast is actually 50. At this point the colors produced are accurate with deep blacks. But even with a brightness of 100 at the optimal contrast, the colors don't seem to pop even in a completely dark room. Within a few minutes, the low brightness caused eye strain. Dell has put out an enviroment friendly monitor with power-saving features, recycled plastic, arsenic-free glass, mercury-free LEDs, all inside a recyclable cardboard box. Unfortuantley, Dell have sacrificed performance for an environmentally freindly product with one major flaw. If you are looking for a good LED monitor, go for the Samsung XL2370.Read full review
It's always iffy when purchasing a used monitor, but these Dell models are definitely worth the price. These were almost certainly used in some type of corporate environment, so they're in very good shape. I bought a total of 4 (2 for me and 2 for a buddy), and all 4 are working flawlessly. You can find reviews for the U2410 model all over the internet. It's a high-end monitor even though it uses an LCD backlight rather than LED. My monitors, despite their age (maybe 3-5 years old) is still plenty bright. I use it in a spare bedroom at 25% brightness. In an office environment, 50% brightness should be quite adequate, and there's plenty of range to spare. I can't speak about color accuracy because I'm partially color blind, so I don't worry about it. Generally, though, these are probably as good or better than any new $150 monitor on the market right now .Read full review

24 inch of work space opens up new possibilities when it comes to multi tasking. You can have two browsers or applications opened up vertically in each side of the monitor still having their full screens available to you.
