First, have to get all the bad things out of the way. This monitor is missing so many of the little bells and whistles its not even funny. It cannot be adjusted for height. That’s like a standard in most computer displays these days. Also, there is a girth of audio speakers on this machine. For a monitor that can double as a television, that doesn’t bode well. This monitor also has a weird resolution for the size. In comes in at 1920 X 1080, which is a little small for a 24 inch widescreen.

With those complaints out of the way we can move on to the positives this monitor has to over. The Dell S2409W has an HDMI port installed, allowing it to properly hook to the Xbox 360, PS3 and any other HD device for high-definition viewing of video and playback.
