A look at Dell's P2210 for the 'professional'

Um, I may have broken it...

The full name for the Dell P2210 is the Dell Professional P2210. So what exactly does "professional" mean? Who is Dell referring to? The everyday office user? Or maybe the graphics artist professional to whom color accuracy is of the utmost importance.

Hmmm, based on the P2210's current price of $209 and Dell's decision to use Twisted Nematic (TN) technology for the panel, I'm 99 percent sure this monitor is targeted to the former professional and not the latter.

We just got this one in, so while we're busy rigorously testing the ever-lovin' crap outta this thing, check out some shots of it doing what it does. Also, check back next week for a full review. "Where," you ask, "do I check back?" Well, at the monitors home page, of course, silly. You can also find reviews of all the monitors CNET tests there. Here, I'll make it easier and provide a link. You're welcome.

The following product mentioned is available.
