Dell SP2309W Monitor – ultimate gaming on a budget?

Rating: 8.0.

There has never been a better time for a gamer – even the modern day mid range cards are capable of delivering some incredible frame rates at high resolutions with eye candy cranked to the hilt. If you want to get the greatest and most immersive experience from your games however you really will need a big panel. Thankfully there is a huge selection of ‘true HD' screens from various manufacturers at tempting price points – some of the 23 and 24 inch models for instance are retailing below the £200 mark.

Dell have always been known to produce a great range of monitors and today we are going to look at a budget 23 inch TN panel called the SP2309W which delivers a staggering resolution of 2048×1152 – well in excess of standard 1080p resolution (1920×1080).
