Dell IN1910N review

In this review

We looked at Kill Bill: Vol 1 on DVD and a number of 720p movie files from Microsoft's WMV HD Content Showcase. Movies looked good, but the colours were over-saturated and there was noticeable dithering when watching under the movie preset.

Unreal Tournament 3 and World of Warcraft both looked decent running at 1,366x768 pixels and showed no signs of ghosting or input lag. Text in the games, however, looked noticeably blurry.

The optimal viewing angle for a monitor is usually directly in front, about a quarter of the screen's distance down from the top. At this angle, you're viewing the colours and gamma correction as they were intended to be seen. Most monitors are made to be viewed only at that angle. Depending on the panel type, picture quality at non-optimal angles varies. The IN1910N has a TN panel, and they usually show dramatic colour shifts with angle changes. Unsurprisingly, the IN1910N's screen becomes noticeably dark when viewed from below, and too light when viewed from above. Viewing images from any angle other than the aforementioned optimal one isn't recommended.

Conclusion
You generally get what you pay for, and you won't pay very much for the Dell IN1910N. Its performance isn't great, its connection options are limited and it has very few ergonomic options. We recommend you save up and buy something better.
