Dell E248WFP VS SP2208WFP

Help me decide between one of them...
I will mainly use it for watching Movies(thru the desktop - config below) and casual gaming thru consoles
I might some times connect it to my laptop for gaming ...
My laptop has 2 8600gt in Sli ..
Lemme knw the reasons for either of them..
think of my desktop as one ancient junk with FX5200 Gfx or some onboard gfx and Pentium D 2.8ghz - cnt tell u da exact config as i dnt knw it myself

The bigger the better go for the 24 incher........!!!

The E248WFP support Full HD (1080p); so the buy is definitely justified when u go for this entry level 24incher worth 20k (inc. of shipping).

And since u connect it to consoles as well, its certainly a good buy.

Whereas, the SP2208WFP supports 720p HD, its a good buy when u intend to watch 720p X264 rips and play games more often; it has got a CR of 2000:1 and an HDMI port as well; hence connectivity to ur console is much easier (whereas for the E248WFP, u'll need a HDMI-to-DVI connector).

The FX5200 is a very outdated card and it will not support HDCP. Period. So I guess HD is out of question???

Moreover I believe ur laptop has a VGA o/p (unlikely to have a DVI o/p unless it has a pwrful gfx onboard);

Anyhow I'd suggest u to buy a SP2208WFP; It should compliment ur console pretty much.

Bada hain to behtar hain !!!

My Laptop has DVi output ...
Play Hd rips off my comp is dependent on the HDCP compliance of gfx??
So which one wud u suggest if i only require this for movies and consoles??

The E248WFP is around 3k more than the SP2208WFP;

In case, ur primary need is hooking up the LCD to a console for playing games, go for the SP2208WFP;

Else get the E248WFP;

PS: U'll need to invest in a separate HDMI-to-DVI connector to hook ur console to the E248WFP; since the SP2208WFP comes with an HDMI port, the need is eliminated.

How much does a HDMI to DVI connector cost??

Roughly <5$;

Here:
For only $2.33 each when QTY 50+ purchased - HDMI Male to DVI-D Female adapter | DVI <--> HDMI

Source it from KMD.

get a E248WFP.. for movie watchin !
n also use it for playin games via console.

just get a converter.. n it is cheap

my few cents

go for the 24 incher its really good.

can ppl with E248WFP give thier opinion??

here's mine: Dell E248WFP 24" LCD: Full HD Goodness For All!

i'd say go for Dell E248WFP, if for gaming

well u are mistaken if u are sayin so....

if u got the GPU power to handle games @ 1920*1200... its superb !
