Super-Thin 23-Inch Dell Monitor Costs $250

The Full HD image quality has become a sort of standard on today's consumer monitors, having made its way even onto Dell's newest, and thinnest, consumer model.

There are many ways for a product to stand apart from the fold, though the principle is mostly the same in any case.

Basically, in order for a new device to have the mandatory degree of uniqueness, one or more of its features are refined beyond the regular levels.

That, or they are outright replaced or just skipped over, depending on what one focuses most on between affordability and feature richness.

Dell chose a fairly unique way of getting its S2330MX monitor to gain attention, and it is does not strictly have anything to do with image quality or any performance element.

Instead, the newcomer is, at its thinnest point, just 9.9mm thick, which definitely is nothing to scoff at, although the fairly big stand (with some minor tilting possibilities) does nullify some of the desktop footprint advantages.

Fortunately, the rest of the specifications aren't that shabby either, and this refers to more than just the color gamut coverage of 82%.

For instance, the Full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) is complemented by a dynamic contrast ratio of 8,000,000:1 (the static contrast ratio is 1,000:1).

What's more, the response time is of 2 ms GTG (gray to gray), while the brightness is a fairly typical 250 cd/m2.

The refresh rate is, likewise, a common 60 Hz, while the viewing angles are of 160 degrees vertical and 170 degrees horizontal.

Finally, the price of $250 will net customers the power efficiency advantages of LED backlighting and a pair of video inputs (DVI and D-Sub), plus a DVI to HDMI adapter as part of the bundle.
