Dell SX2210 Monitor

I had been toying with idea of getting a new monitor for a while. My requirements were pretty straight forward I think, I wanted something at least full HD on as small a monitor as I could get away with. I was originally looking at a 24″ but I wasn’t sure I had the desk space for it, I already have a 21″ widescreen Acer on there.

Then a few nights ago I came across the Dell SX2210 on the Dell website. It seemed to tick all the boxes, full HD (1920×1080), was a 22″ screen (well 21.5″ but who’s counting) and it looked the part. Best part was it had nearly £45 off so was only £175. There were some decent reviews of it on the dell review site so I decided to take the plunge.

Delivery was quick, ordered very late Thursday Night and it arrived Monday morning.

First impressions

The monitor looks very stylish, and has a white back with small white trim noticeable at the front bottom.
I can’t see any dead pixels on there which is a bonus.
The screen is very clear and bright. The monitor is setup at the side of an Acer AL2016W and is noticeably brighter with better colours. The Acer seems dull and the whites don’t seem as crisp.

I’m hoping to hook the Xbox 360 up via HDMI to see how it looks playing games b ut for day to day use I’m more than impressed.

It does have a glossy screen, which I tend to prefer and I don’t really have any issues where it is sat in my office.

I would definitely recommend this monitor so far, I may even treat myself with another one to replace the Acer which is a poor monitor in all honesty.
