Introduction

Here we are, it's a new month and I've got a new LCD review for you, loyal readers of TheTechLounge! Again I'm reviewing a monitor from Dell, but this time it's one of their high-end 27" LCDs.

Behemoth that Dell is, their market share has begun to shrink in the face of competition from the likes of HP and Apple. As we've seen, though, one area that Dell doesn't slack in is the quality of their monitors. And at a regular selling price of $1199, it needs to be high quality. Of course, Dell is constantly running promotions and coupons, so if you keep an eye on our Hot Deals page you should be able to get one for about $100 less.

So how did the Dell 2707WFP fare after three weeks on my desk? Well, suffice to say the desk feels awfully small.

First Looks

Once you open the Dell 2707WFP's gigantic box (12" x 26.5" x 30"), you'll find two pieces of paper showing you how to hook the monitor to your PC and how to organize your cables. What you won't find are instructions on how to assemble your monitor, not because Dell was lacking, the monitor is already fully assembled in the box. Also in the box were DVI and VGA cables, along with a power cable and a USB cable to hook up the monitor's included USB functionality.

The monitor features two USB ports on the left side, along with a memory card reader with two slots - one for SD / MS / MMC cards and the other for CF cards.

The bottom of the LCD sports another two USB ports, along with the DVI, VGA, S-Video, Component and Composite video inputs. The bottom of the LCD is somewhat difficult to reach on this monitor simply because the display does not rotate 90° to the left or right. This means you have to spin the monitor around to get access to the ports (and to see where exactly the port is for whatever you're trying to plug in).
