[edgarf28]

[honoriak]

[honoriak]

DELL phoned me today and told me the shipping is to be done on 9th may. a complete month for just a LCD!

if after all this awaiting time i get a ****** screen i'm gonna kill those guys.

[Shotokan]

My monitor estimated shipping time in dell's site results to be on the 2/05/2005 :blink:

Hope to receive it this week...

[honoriak]

same thing, it says 2/05/05 on mine.

i'm constantly checking UPS shipping status and it's moving from EINDHOVEN to FRANCE now.. i wonder were is dell's fabric.

[Miran]

Mine will be here today. I only ordered it on Friday. However I live in Canada, not Europa.

[Shotokan]

Arrived this morning, no dead pixels and almost no backlight bleeding.

Guess it was worth the waiting. :cool:

[oddcrap]

Can you guys do all of us a favor that were too late to get one for 380? If anyone see's any deals for this monitor (coupon codes..ect) Do you mind posting them?

[dman45]

yeah, that would be really helpful and awesome!

thanks

How do you check for backlighting as well as Dead Pixels? Yes is a lame question.

[grungeisdead]

im selling one for 350 two weeks old no dead pixels

[Ikshaar]

:p Got mine... $384. No dead pixels, no backlighting leak... Playing WoW widescreen...heaven-like.

But true this screen is BRIGHT... of well one less reason to go outside for tanning.

Got the coupon (40% off + $65 off) from www.techbargains.com

If you don't notice any problems, why would you want to go out trying to find some? Is finding defects going to increase enjoyment of your monitor?

[randy_tho]

haha.. yeah. Backlight check. Use a full black screen and look for light bleeidng through the edges and corners. General uneveness from straight in front.

Pixels - Use several colors of solid full screen and look for dots. :)

[honoriak]

got it yesterday, no dead pixels but a bit of backlight issues.

i wonder if it's good to be that bright for your eyes this screen?

btw, what's that usb cable that goes from the LCD to the pc? i don't get it

I think the cable is for using the usb ports.

I also reduced bright to 0 for the osd.

I wasn't being sarcastic. I'm just saying if you dont' see any problems with it why would you want to find some?

what a ****ty monitor

You're an idiot and obviously wouldn't know a good monitor if it slapped you in the face.

[clx]

well mine arrived today, just finished setting it up now :D and i must say it is pretty :D

as far as i can see i have no back light probs, but i do have some dead pixels

2 are dead, 1 is 2 or 3 inches left of center and down about 1 or 2

the second is right below the e on neowin in my bookmark bar on firefox :p

and i have 1 that is stuck on cyan, but you dont notice it unless the screen is compleatly black for a little while

i am pretty sure dell wont take it back for 3 fudged pixels so i guess i am happy, i will see how it goes playing WoW tonight :)

They will... just try to play dumb and overexagerate the issues.

[honoriak]

OH NO PLEASE NO.

half-life 2 in 1680x1050 works smooth and great, no lag.

but when i play pro evolution soccer 4 its so weird, its most of the time laggy and ghosting, it can only set non native resolutions so i play with 1280x1024...

can anyone help me please.

[Hypoxiaicon]

Whats your graphics card?

[honoriak]

it worked perfect before on a standard 17 inch LCD of 1280x1024

ati radeon 9600 of 256mb, pentium 4, all fine before..
