The Dell 2408WFP replaces the very excellent (but slightly high-priced, for Dell) 2407WFP-HC. Almost everything is the same except for the improved contrast ratio and the addition of a DisplayPort input. Oh, there is one additional DVI input for a total of two.

However, DVI (single-link) is more than capable of driving a LCD display with 1920 x 1200 pixels.

  1. The Dell USA website now allows this Dell 2408WFP monitor to be ordered online. Price when I checked on Feb 21, 2008 was $699. The numerous number of different types of inputs would appear to make this monitor much more versitile than the 2407 model.
