... have been wokring this monitor hard for all these years at 1600x1200 resolution. It has been on formany hours a day as I work of my laptop mostly but play movies through the desktop PC that this is conencted to, so it has been used for watching movies, working, everything. On average over over the last 8-9 years it has been on and been used for about 6-12 hours a day. (even longer on weekends and non work days and before 2005) This monitor still works perfectly, it generates plenty of heat unfortunately, but still...more

When I first got this monitor, it was bundled with a P4 2Ghz Dell (just to give you an idea how long ago it was). The monitor was WONDERFUL when I first got it, but several months down the line, it developed a couple issues. First, the width and height of the screen kept readjusting randomly. Later, the brightness of the monitor started suffering forcing me to turn the brightness and contrast up to compensate. Now, the image started fuzzing around the outside and is moving towards the center or the screen. This might just be aging, but I'd take into account the time I've had it and the problems that started to ... Read the complete review

Two weeks out of the warranty period this monitor, part of my Dell system,failed. The power light blinks and buzzes and the screen is black. Dell tech support suggested I change settings. Huh? How do you do that without a monitor? Anyway, I ran all the diagnostic suggestions. Check the Dell suppoprt page and search "P 992 Buzzing". The monitor was fairly good unitl the warranty ran out. I am convinced of a factory defect. My Mates problem with the Dell P992: 38 days after buying this monitor with my new system, it buzzes and making clicking sounds. Dell will only exchage with a refurbished unit! Stay away from Dell monitors! Customer service ... Read the complete review

The Dell P992 monitor is a stunning, though expensive, monitor to use or own. If you can afford it, I would highly recommend it. And if you are wondering `Do Dell make decent monitors?`, well, the answer is yes, because they are actually Sony units (or, at least this one is). So, what do you get? The screen size is a hefty 19 inches across the diagonal, though the quoted visible area is just 17.95 inches. But, it`s completely flat. It`s a Sony Trinitron tube, and there is quite literally completely flat. Until now I`ve only used traditional goldfish bowl style CRT monitors, so for the first hour or so using this one, it actually looked as though it was curving ... Read the complete review
