Dell 3008WFP Specifications  Editors' choice

By Craig Simms on 14/12/2007

More Dell reviews , RRP: AU$2499.00

The good:

  • Includes possibly every video input, ever
  • Allows non-dual link video sources
  • Perfect for those who need high resolutions

The bad:

  • Will need a monster graphics card to drive games at the native resolution
  • The sheer size means viewing angles might cause issues
  • Sound passthrough only on HDMI

The bottomline:

With a crazy number of inputs, 1080p over component and good rendering of 1080i, this monitor has set itself up as a potential TV replacement.

Editors' rating:

8.9/10

Users' rating:

7.6/10
