The good:

  • Intuitive and elegant OSD
  • Lots of OSD preset modes
The bad:
  • Bad lower viewing angle
  • Lack of ergonomic support
  • Includes only a VGA cable
  • Unstable foot stand
The bottomline:

The Dell S2409W is a 24-incher that sacrifices features for price, but makes up for it in performance and ease of use.
