Dell makes very good flat-screens for an affordable price, e.g. the U2311H was a really nice one.

Did you not read the article in this post? Or are you just being daft and trying to say something snide about Dell?

The article itself is about switching out quality components for cheaper ones after your first batch gets good reviews. So yes, if Dell is doing the same thing, it follows that yes, they were at one point good, and then they started swapping out for cheaper components.

Pretty sure he wasn't asking a normal question, he was obviously implying they he didn't believe there monitors were good in the first place.

Which is wrong. They have their good monitors and their bad ones.

Right, so the latter, he was just being daft and trying to say something snide about Dell.

It's called the internet. Dell's feelings weren't hurt.

With a few exceptions (which may be what poolpool is referring to), Dell's UltraSharp lines have been one of the better sources of consistently good consumer IPS displays for 10+ years.

And even the models that have used PVA panels have been much better than TN-based monitors, with their biggest weakness generally being input lag.
