Every time Dell rolls out a new PC series they simply have to link it to a new series of LCD screens. I still don't know why that happens. A new and capable LCD from Dell is always a good thing. Or so it seems.

Under the name 2407WFP-HC, Dell has started to sell a new 24-inch display reworked from an older version. And the best part about it is that it has a 92% NTSC color gamut, making it ideal for photographers, video and graphics designers. Other than that, the display features some of the best connectivity panels coming with full support for D-SUB15/DVI-I/S-VHS/Composite inputs.

Aside from the great color gamut, the 2407WFP-HC continues to use a 1080p capable resolution 1920x1200pixels (2.3 MPixel), 1000:1 contrast ratio and a pretty standard 450cd/m2 brightness. Response time keeps the same pace topping out at 6ms, while viewing angle is very wide (178 degrees) on both horizontal and vertical angles.

At the moment the LCD sells only in Japan and as it turns out it will shortly be available in US for an expected MSRP of $660. However the display uses the same CCFL light source instead of a more professional LED matrix and that will force it to remain in the mainstream segment.

That being said the 24" LCD from Dell is still a good thing especially for those in search of a full HD display that could actually fit on their desk. I personally like 24 inchers much more than 27 inchers or 22" LCD models because from all these lines the 24" models have the smallest pixel pitch.

I also don't think that the usage of CCFL light sources is much of a problem since professional LED displays generally turn out to be a lot more expensive. And that is definitely not the market target for the new display.
