So you're not a gamer and you don't watch movies. No big deal. Even when it comes to 2-D applications such as Microsoft Word, Paint, Excel or even Outlook, the S2409W Dell monitor performs great. This monitor works great for browsing the net, reading the news or discovering a new artist or recipe. The image is sharp and clear and the size of the monitor should make ever the tiniest writing decipherable. I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever when it comes to this monitor's performance in regard with 2-D graphics.
