At the Digital Life event this week in New York City, Dell Computer took the opportunity to showcase several new products, including two new LCD televisions and an LCD flat-panel computer monitor, aiming to maintain and extend its forward position in the LCD market.
First up, Dell introduced its new W3207C and W3707 32- and 37-inch high-definition LCD televisions. Both units feature over-the-air high-definition television tuners and 1,366 by 768 WXGA resolutions. The 32-inch W3207C offers a 1,200:1 contrast ration, 8 ms response tune, and a 30-watt amp pushing integrated stereo speakers, all for a starting price of $1,199. Moving up, the W3707C offers detachable 30-watt speakers with SRS TruSurround XT, picture-in-picture capability for dual-source viewing, dual HDMI inputs, a VGA connector for hooking up to PCs, as well as composite, component, and s-video input for use with DVRs, DVD players, and other peripherals. The W3707C starts at $1,699. Neither screen offers native 1080p resolution, but the price points aren’t half bad for al all-around LCD display. Both units are available immediately.
Dell also rolled out its new E207WFP 20.1-inch widescreen flat-panel monitor, sporting a 1,680 by 1,050 native resolution, a DVI interface with HDCP, and a tilt stand which can be removed for wall-mounting the display. The E207WFP is available immediately at prices starting at $289.
