So my monitor is a S-PVA with a label by Dell

as Ultra sharp. BUT its not an S-IPS.

Why call it Ultra sharp if it's not top of the line

and the very high price besides????   

Thank you Mike5065 for your response.

So the bottom line is Ultra sharp doesn't

mean to much. My chances of picking up

an Ultra sharp monitor in the future with

ISP is chancy with a high price..... 

my new 2408WFP is PVA. my old 2005FPW is IPS. both are premium Ultrasharp branded. dell does not currently offer an IPS in the 24" range. I much prefer the brightness and blacks on the 2408 over the 2005.

Thank you all.

I now have enough sources and information to make

a somewhat intelligent decision.

However I wish Dell would make the consumers job

easier. 

Dell needs to take a look at "Hazro Monitors".

Right up front they tell you it's an "s-ips" monitor.

This is the way advertising should be done.
