I can't help you with your query but any chance you could take some shots of it and give us your impressions? I am looking to get one of these myself.
 
I too, am interested in purchasing this monitor, but can;t find any decent pictures of it online. It would be much appreciated if you are able to take pictures of it.
 
On the UK site they don't have the S2409w on any more... Maybe a SP2409w is comming out.
 
There's a guy in the LCD setups forum who has one, he showed a couple of pics but that was it. Have you had a chance to take any shots of yours? How is it?

Ow, I will take some tommrow. It seems pretty good so far, and all the games I have played support the res.

$279 seems like a pretty fair display for the price. I'm putting together a new system with a Blu-Ray/HD-DVD combo drive and was thinking about this or the SP2309w....just like to see more user reviews :)

Well, you got my vote on it! I really dig this monitor and haven't had any major problems with it (backlight bleed, dead pixels, etc).

I really like the design, the stand, and how the hinge is pretty solid. I'm not a big fan of the glossy black though, but that's just me.
 
Here are some pictures. The colour may look a bit funny on some photos but that is because of my camera, just used my phone.

Thanks for the pics Usama.

Am I correct in saying the screens for the 2309 & 2409 are glossy rather than matte? If so I'll probably have to spend a little more for the HP 2475. I'm currently using the Dell 2001fp in an area that gets a lot of glare and I'm afraid a glossy screen would reflect to much.
 
Firstly, Usama:

Thanks for the pictures, the screen looks great.

Others:

Just a quick note, everyone realises this is the SP2309W which is a 2048x1152 screen and not the S2309 which is only 1920x1080 right? Just checking...

The 2309 is glossy but the 2409 isn't. It's amazing that they don't list this anywhere.
 
Usama:

Any comments on the viewing angle, brightness, general image quality and colour reproduction on the monitor?

How are you finding it etc? I am getting ready to jump on this but just want to be sure, I notice this is not part of the "Ultrasharp" range so wondering whether it's worth holding off until there is an updated version...

Ah, also you guys are talking about matte and glossy finishes, are you talking about the bezel/stand or the screen itself? Is the screen itself glossy? If it is indeed glossy how do you find it? Does it suffer from glare a lot etc?
 
Actually scratch that, I can see that it's glossy from the reflection of your 5 lamp light fitting in the screen in your photos!!! Only just noticed that.
 
im having trouble getting full resolution with dvi or hdmi on this monitor.
and i dont know if its my vga card or the monitor. i have a geforce 6600, maybe i need a duallink dvi port to get it right?

It's pretty good, it is very clear. It may have a bit too much green but I am changing the settings to see if I can sort that out. The contrast and brightness are good.

I was talking about the screen, but the SP2309w does have a bigger and glossy stand. you can also adjust the heigh. which you cant do on the S2409w or S2309w. It is glossy but not as glossy as the HP screens. I like glossy screens it makes the picture more clear and nicer and the monitor looks better. I have a very bright room and there is alot of sun that comes throw the window. The glare is ok.

Gah! I was ready to pass until an Ultrasharp version arrived but your words might convince me to jump yet!
 
thanks for the pictures.

hows the webcam on it? is dells software for it any good?
 
Do you have a PS3 you can hook up to it and see how it scales the 1080p and 720p resolutions? Also, will it do 1:1?

Got a 60GB the day it was released. :D ;)

I will put it on tomorrow, and there is a setting for the scale to be 1:1.

Not as yet, but I am willing to bet my bottom dollar that in true Dell fashion in a couple of months there will be one.

Ok, I'm not 100% sure but it seems likely does it not? I'm still tempted though.

Best thing is, 3 year warranty includes a "zero pixel defect" clause from these guys. So any isues of stuck/dead pixels and they'll swap it out.
