I've been looking forward to the Dell UltraSharp U2410 with as much (or more) anticipation as some of our most fervent readers.

I feel a lot of monitor enthusiasts were expecting perfection from this monitor, so I'll get this out of the way right now: It's not perfect.

This may seem more disappointing than with other monitors, but that's mostly because of the super high expectations the U2410 had prerelease.

The monitor includes a H-IPS panel, one of the newer iterations of IPS panel technology and one that I have little hands-on experience with. Some of the problems I encountered with the monitor could be inherent to the technology, but having not dealt with another H-IPS, I can't say for certain.

Still, it earned our editors' choice, so it must have done something right. Right?!

So, the cat's out of the bag. The Dell UltraSharp U2410 isn't perfect; however, that doesn't mean it can't be perfect for you. Read the full review to determine if it is.
