Dell XPS 630 review

Thankfully, the stunning Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP monitor makes up for this. It caters for almost every type of input you can possibly think of: there's a pair of DVI-Ds, HDMI, S-Video, Component video and even DisplayPort. Four USB ports and a card reader add functionality, too.

The excellent specification extends to picture quality, with the screen following a fine tradition of larger panels from Dell. It's the successor to the excellent 2407WFP and just as good: text is always sharp, whites are bright, and colours are deep and warm. More importantly, colour accuracy is beyond reproach, with neutral greys that are without distracting tint and gradients that are perfectly smooth. If you do need to make adjustments, the OSD is one of the best in the business, too.

The downside is that the addition of this high-quality screen bumps up the price considerably, and the final cost winds up an eye-watering £1,403, it's still actually pretty good value for a system so well balanced. In fact, for power-hungry extroverts with money to burn, there are few systems that can match Dell's moody-looking gaming monster.
