Dell 1708FP Review

aperturegrille.com/reviews/Del...
You've probably seen plenty of these before! Wonder how it measures?

[@TripleMoonPanda]

really digging your monitor reviews, even if your reviewing an ancient really bad LCD. Great content.

[@ApertureGrille]

Haha! Thanks! I didn't think anyone was watching this Dell review. I've got another bad monitor that I'm working on right now.

[@TripleMoonPanda]

@@ApertureGrille Awesome can't wait to see it, also your CRT review was also great.

[@palatoy1687]

Just bought one off ebay for about 30 bucks, good monitor for people not wanting to spend a whole lot.

[@chaosprincess315]

Does it need a tower to work or does it work without one?

[@aarriikknn33ll]

Quality content!!

[@dominiquecruz7]

Hi! Can you recommend some color settings for this? Mine is kinda yellowish😆

[@lokstery2978]

Thinking about using this as a second monitor is that a good idea?

[@einfacharthur]

please do a 2007FP Review (IPS Model ends with serial "L" = LG IPS Panel, "S" =PVA)

[@xoemyisaixo]

Does it have an hdmi for a ps4 and will their be a delay for any games?

[@strykerking]

Nice review, I'm trying to find a really good 4:3 aspect ratio LCD monitor for gaming. actually, this is easier said than done because it seems that response time is a common issue. Could you make any recommendation of a good LCD screen in 4:3 resolution?

[@Knix6593]

Not exactly good at 8ms, but i personally use an HP LP2065, a pretty big 4:3 at 20in (and 1600*1200) and the colors are great for a 14 year old IPS monitor (yes, it is IPS, provided you win the lottery)

[@epitaph3988]

If you want a 4:3 monitor get a CRT. All the early LCDs were trash, and those are the only 4:3 LCDs you’ll find.

[@CybertroninfiniteOfficial]

Can this monitor use a Vesa ,mount?

[@Blobonou]

hehe i'm still using the 1908 model, major point is the build quality. Otherwise it's a panel from another age. My only complaint is viewing angles, atrocious verticaly.

[@barmus]

have about 5 of these laying around, fine as a second monitor imo

[@ericfinn7905]

i just picked one up for %10 lol

[@R3LAPS3productions]

I wonder what type of reviews 1708fpb would be?

[@theshadowman1398]

I still use two of those as my main monitors. And I just recently played GTA5 on one od them using all the high settings. I had no issues whatsoever. I actually love the old backlight technology of these screens. The reason is I don't get any back light bleeding as with many edge lit LCD screens.

[@CybertroninfiniteOfficial]

can you vesa mount this monitor btw?

[@catgarcia2238]

Yes

[@hawrify2148]

old skool

[@juniordarilson2300]

Can you play ps4 with it

[@jameshunt1516]

I used to have a Dell Ultrasharp 1908FP monitor. Like this monitor, same resolution but 19 inches instead of 17. Loved it but then the power button broke. :(

[@aetvrna]

i still have one, although it was buzzing a lot so I stopped using it

[@jexanderarvelo3277]

@@aetvrna if you hit it lightly on the back it will probably start working again

[@stakesishigh8443]

How would this work for Retro emulator. Atari-SNES/Genesis consoles/handhelds

[@catgarcia2238]

Works good

[@jameshunt1516]

Nice little square monitor, 1280x1024 is perfect for me. :)

[@bashimda]

So will this be good for my first pc

[@CybertroninfiniteOfficial]

depends what you're using it for

[@Johnny-lo7xo]

What mod for Quake II are you using?

[@ApertureGrille]

Sorry I saw this late. Not RTX, but I'm using a port called q2pro. skuller.net/q2pro/ It's a very bare-bones source port... lots of technical fixes but no drastic art changes. I really like it.

[@Johnny-lo7xo]

@@ApertureGrille Oh cool thank you.

[@Johnny-lo7xo]

@@ApertureGrille I was curious if you know any square monitors with high refresh rates?

[@ApertureGrille]

@@Johnny-lo7xo Oooh, not sure about that. Most "office" type monitors that were 4:3 could probably do 75 Hz, but your best bet would be to use a modern display and just make a custom 4:3 or square resolution and set the graphics card to no scaling.

[@Johnny-lo7xo]

@@ApertureGrille Damn

[@vik6035]

I have same monitor and I'm still watching this video on it :(

[@FUNTIME-jf7rv]

me2 and i play csgo on it XD

[@vik6035]

WoW, really I play valorant on it 🤣🤣@@FUNTIME-jf7rv Overclocking to 75hz no going back there, what do you think of it.

[@andreajane2226]

will this handle minecraft, among us, valorant, and roblox well?

[@sheryarfarrukh8464]

Yes but you won't get good viewing angles because it's a boxed design instead of rectangle

[@lokoako1104]

Is that a Tablet? speaker are much than the. lolz

[@bonesponja2296]

Eh. Better than nothing.
