Dell S2340M Black 23" 7ms (GTG) Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 1000:1

Pros: Looks smart, performs good

Cons: None

Pros: Fantastic clear picture, bright colors. Great for viewing videos, movies.
The Glossy screen is what makes this monitor great, so much sharper looking than matte screen monitors.
There really isn't a glare problem as long as you don't have any bright lights facing the screen. Only had it for a week but so far I love it.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I wish they would make more glossy screen monitors. I had to do a lot of searching to find this one. Glossy screens to me, look so much sharper than matte.

Pros: Looks good while working.

Cons: I wrote a review about the lines showing in the screen. This is the follow up. I talked to Dell for 4 hours and talked to 5 or 6 different people. They kept asking for the service tag. Finally, Dora on chat told me that monitors do not come with service tags and that the order numebr should work. Unfortunately when I gave them my order number from newegg.com they couldn't find anything in their systems. The final solution was that they corrected the system on their end using the serial number and my personal information including date of purchase. They even told me that in their system the warrenty was expired (even though the manufacturing date was October of 2012; they said it was manufactured years ago in their system :-(. They finally gave me a new order number. The coloration on the right side of the monitor has gotten worse and I am going to call in RMA tonight (I ended up thinking it had fixed itself last time).

Pros: Great picture, high gloss screen, great resolution.

Cons: Be Warned: I bought this monitor for my wife 5 months ago, After 4 hours of the same application being displayed (outlook) she switched to a movie and we could see red tinted lines. It looked a lot like burn-in which shouldn't happen on an LCD screen. I called Dell immediately after reading a few reviews here and sure enough they cannot help you unless you have an express service tag or service tag. I will be contacting newegg about this issue. I even have the original documentation, shipping box, and receipt and Dell said they cannot find any information to process a warranty.

Pros: Nice aesthetics, lightweight, thin,IPS panel.

Cons: After a little more than two months I noticed that the right side of my screen had a red tint/ lines going down it. A few weeks after that the red hue covered my whole screen and died after 5 minutes of use. Because I still HAVE Dell warranty I decided to give them a call to replace my monitor. It turns out that there was no service tag that came with it so talking to them was that much harder. After about 5 hours of being on hold and transferred around there was a guy that told me he did not know what to do and hung up the phone. I soon accepted the fact that even though I have warranty I'd have to buy another monitor elsewhere. 170 dollars wasted. It is hard to believe that everyone I talked to at Dell customer support couldn't help me with replacing their faulty merchandise.

Other Thoughts: This is probably the worst experience I have had with any customer service.

Pros: Great HD Image, Great Color and Depth. Purchased 4 of them.

Cons: First one died in 2 months time. Lost resolution and color. Getting the replacement from Dell was a hassle at best because they have no order information etc. It was replaced. Now a month later another monitor is doing the exact same thing and again I am going through the exact same replacement process with dell.

Other Thoughts: Buy the extended warranty you will need it.

Pros: Its a great monitor! Normally i go for the matte finish types, but this glass front is wonderful! Colors are very crisp at all angles. Also bigger than my old one. excellent for the money.

Cons: Only thing i can come up with is the lack of a dvi cable, only comes with vga. (why anyone would buy a nice crisp monitor like this for vga i don't know)
Also the space for the cables to plug in in the back of the monitor is very tight. I imagine due to how thin the monitor is overall. If you purchase a dvi cable with real large plugs on the end u could have some trouble.

Pros: Crisp picture, great for gaming.
No dead pixels after 2-3 months.
In the 150-$200 price range, very affordable for the quality.

Cons: No HDMI

Other Thoughts: Would definitely buy this again.

Pros: The monitor itself was great while it worked. The picture was incredible, especially since I was upgrading from using a 27" flatscreen TV to using an actual 1080p HD computer monitor.

Cons: It started dying after 3 months. Died after 4.

Other Thoughts: I purchased this monitor in December of 2012, and in March 2013 one day the top right section of the screen just started displaying a warped scan lined section. The malfunctioning sector had a fuzzy pink hue to it. What angered me was the fact that I took care of the monitor, never abused it, never ran it for too long at a time, and always shut it down over-night. I figured, hell, I'll deal with it.

A week ago, it died. Turned on the computer, and the entire screen is showing a full scan line filled display switching between a green and pink hue. Whatever i had on the desktop, well, that image was burned into the display, creating shadows overlapping shadows of previous screens. The cabled are fine. My GPU is fine.

After testing the monitor with other computers, i finally concluded that it was the monitor itself that was malfunctioning. And after 200 dollars and only 4 months, I can safely say that I am ENRAGED this is happening. My view of Dell has gone down severely. I am very disappointed.

Pros: Color is nice, its a little on the darkside, but thats being very critical. Compared to other monitors at that price range and size I thought it was better then alternatives.

Looks very clean on the desk

Cons: No DVI cable

Other Thoughts: It's a $150-$170 monitor, at its price range I think it is the best I have seen. I got two of them when they were on sale and love them.

Buy it if you want a nice value monitor in this price range/ size.

Forget it if you are a pro photographer, but realize you are going to have to spend about 300-400 for the monitor you want.
