Photos: A tale of two very different monitors

Today we're taking a look at two very different monitors. The first is the Dell ST2310, a very bare-bones and low-priced ($179 right now) monitor with purportedly, low power consumption. Look for a full review of the ST2310 later this week. For now, check out the shots.

Second up is the NEC P221w. Kind of the antithesis of the ST2310. Where the ST2310 sacrifices features for price, the $490 NEC throws in tons of features like pivot, rotation, and screen height adjustment. Not to mention a S-PVA panel that delivers much wider viewing angles than the Dell is capable of. Don't look for a full review of this guy before next week at the earliest, though.


Eric Franklin refused to write a bio, saying, "Why are you bothering me about this bio business again? If I wanted people to know more about me, I'd send them to the Inside CNET Labs Podcast" (shameless plug). E-mail Eric.

Eric, any news on when you might review the Dell u2410? It seems that hoards of forum-ers are looking forward to a Cnet review on it.

Hordes eh? I'll keep pestering Dell to send it over.

Thank you sir. A few of the main tech forums are already 30+ pages deep on the Dell u2410. CNET Australia did a piece on it, but it's not very in-depth...

Hordes- duly noted ;)

BTW, which forums are you referring to?

For the price (and thickness) of that NEC model, I hope they also include a computer!
