Review on Dell S2340M - 23 Inch LED Lit Monitor with 1920X1080 Resolution, 60Hz Refresh Rate, and High Definition - ‎293M3 Model by Brent Hajric

This is only the third monitor I've ever had. The first was the ugly Compaqyello gray CRT POS. The second was an old TN, 1440x900, with a fluorescent backlight, made by HANNS-G. I thought the latter had a pretty good picture. I used it to watch movies and games like Bad Company 2 and Skyrim. For a long time I thought about switching to 1920x1080. I was concerned that my frame rate would drop in these games at 1080p due to my old hardware. Three weeks ago I decided to pull the trigger anyway. Needless to say, you can go from TN to IPS, 1440x900 to 1920x1080, and Fluorescent to LED in one upgrade. I had high hopes. Unfortunately, three days after receiving this monitor, my "old hardware" mysteriously burned down. And I still don't have my brand new CPU/mobo/RAM/etc. I was able to play Skyrim for a short time and loved the picture quality. In my opinion, my old monitor now looks like a three-year-old color-blind man drawing on a wall unevenly painted with unbranded colored pencils (I'm not seriously exaggerating here). And to my surprise, my framerate actually INCREASES in most games I play (GPU draining CPU due to higher resolution?). There are only two things I could single out as downsides. IPS Glow” characteristic of ALL IPS monitors. Secondly, with a few more of these plates I could probably build a working model of Archimedes' death ray and use it to roast squirrels from a mile away. Yes, they are highly reflective anyway. Expectations? surpassed. Well done Dell. You finally did something good for humanity.
