Conclusion

So what's the bottom line on the W3207C you ask? Well, as usual here at TheTechLounge, we're most concerned about value. The W3207C can be purchased from Dell.com for $1019, and compared to other 32" LCDs on the market right now, that's a reasonable price, but definitely nothing special when some models can be found below the $600 mark. Of course quality and performance are going to come into question on the cheapest models, and that's where I think the W3207C can justify its fairly standard price.

Considering that the W3207C is a very capable centerpiece for your home theater, and can double as a PC monitor in a passable fashion, proves that there's a lot of utility to be found in this product. There are a few minor issues such as the non-detachable speakers (if you never plan on using them) and only one HDMI input, but overall the W3207C is a very capable and complete package.

I would have liked to see the W3207C come in at a slightly lower price because that would've proven it's value without question, but Dell is famous for offering specials on their products so if you're right on the edge of whether to purchase it or not, you might want to check Dell's website on a regular basis to see if that happens with the W3207C. If you can make use of all that the W3207C has to offer I think it would be hard to be disappointed with it even at its non-sale price.

Kurtis' Note: You should be able to buy a 10% Dell coupon off of Ebay (for about $2) which will bring the price down to about $920 + tax/shipping. Also keep an eye on our Hot Deals page and check sites such as FatWallet often to try to get the best deal possible (Dell runs great specials all the time, as Mark mentioned).

Pros

Crisp, bright HD images
Reasonable overall value
Integrated speakers that actually sound decent
Can pass as a (large/low resolution) PC monitor

Cons

Only one HDMI input
No option to remove speakers, even if you know you'll never use them
