Dell has launched its UltraSharp 2709W, successor to the 27in 2707WFP, and it's available now for $999 in the US and £636 in the UK.
The big change this time around, is connectivity. The 2709W packs HDMI, DVI-D, VGA, component, composite, and DisplayPort inputs. There's a new black-styling and the screen provides an improved contrast ratio of 3000:1 and a brightness level of 450 nits.
Other than that, however, its the same 1920 x 1200 resolution, 9-in-2 media card reader and 6ms response time as the older 2707WFP.
The screen has arrived at a much lower launch price than the 2707WFP, but at £636 its still a bit pricey compared to Dell's 24in Full-HD offering, the 2408WFP. That can be had for £422 and we're not sure the extra £214 justifies the small bump in screen size offered by the 2709W.
