The W240D is another unique product. It’s a 24’’ multi-source with HDMI, DVI, VGA, YUV and Composite. Computers, old or new generation game consoles, and home players will all function with this screen.
Besides the various connections, there is a claimed response time of 2 ms.
And here are some more characteristics to seduce you : it’s vertically adjustable and can be pivoted. Fans of Dell 24''s will say that it lacks a USB hub and card reader. This is true but the W240D v2 is also less expensive.
Problems that were remedied but some persistent defects
The famous sticker that you want to see on your v2 box
Compared to the v1 tested in the beginning of October 2007, the v2 improves in almost all domains:
- color fidelity is as good in analog as it is in digital,
- afterglow has been significantly reduced.
It still has an advantage revealed in the previous test with a menu that gives access to 4/3, 16/9, and 1:1 modes. These are to be used depending on your source in order to not deform images.
Otherwise there were the following defects:
- access to the menu isn’t too easy. The OSD is basic and not very practical. Touch sensitive buttons that lead to menus aren’t clearly marked, navigation is tiresome and options are too few.
- assembly of the glossy bezel leaves something to be desired. If you press the screen to adjust it vertically, there is a strong possibility the screen makes a cracking sound.
