<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="content"> </span></span></p> <p>We haven't had a display review since our desperately seeking quality LCDs article. That doesn't mean there haven't been interesting displays released during that timeframe, but the trends highlighted in that last article have continued. TN panels are everywhere and are by far the cheapest option, although they do have a bit of competition from E-IPS displays. For example, we have 1080p 23&quot; TN LCDs starting at under $200, compared with 1080p 23&quot; E-IPS LCDs for $300. However, E-IPS isn't the highest quality implementation of IPS (in-plane switching) LCD technology; what if you want to go for the real deal?</p> <p><span class="content"> </span></p> <p>&nbsp;<span style="font-size: small;">Despite the preponderance of TN panels, it's still possible to find some good quality IPS displays. The catch is that you need to be prepared to spend two or three times as much money (or more!) to get that quality. Most consumers will look at the 24&quot; TN panels starting at $200 and then they'll look at an IPS or PVA display costing $550 or more and they'll wonder why anyone would spend the extra money. The answer, quite simply, is quality. Dell offers U-series UltraSharp displays that look to satisfy professional users without quite getting into the professional display price range, and they'll provide substantially better quality than any entry-level display. That brings us to today's review.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /> </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.anandtech.com/displays/showdoc.aspx?i=3725">Read more...</a></span></p>
