Dell 2405FPW UltraSharp Flat Panel Monitor


Recommended Posts

I'd like to add. Screen arrived!!! 7.50AM this morning, after ordering Monday afternoon. Absolutely fantastic, this thing is mammoth!!! :D

Keeping my fingers firmly crossed as there aren't any dead pixels yet. Also, the backlight seems completely uniform. Only problem is I have a slight slant: the screen sags to the right a bit. Must be a stand issue: reckon it can be fixed easily.

10/10. Mikebuzz is da bomb! I'll wing yet another tenner you way as soon as my credit card bill clears mate! :)

Thats great news, my two are going to be arriving tomorrow and I cant wait. If only I could stop drooling at the thought.

:D

Actually, I hope an X800 can run two 1920x1200 behemoths?!?!

Just to add my support for Mike, my monitor should be here tomorrow [thursday]

Got my shipping confirmation last night.

Cheers Mike and your 30 quid was sent your bank account as discussed.

i cant wait to order one for me :)

Here's a couple of pics. Have taken one with my shuttle next to it and the other next to a 17" tft. Also, I've thrown a cd into the pic to get an idea of how ENORMOUS this thing is. Please excuse the *ahem* pink wallpaper: I'm set up in my lil sis' room atm (don't ask).

G'mornin' chaps

My one arrived a Liverpool docks at 6AM today; most probably get it tomorrow.

Salivating also :)

Check this out: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=879544

My system specs are:

AMD 3200 Whinchester

Asus AV8 Mobo (AGP)

Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb

Dell 2001FP tft

250 Maxtor SATA HD

1Gig PC4000 Crucial Ballistix Ram

CDROM and DVDROM burners

Various flight sim hardware all running on Win XP Pro.

My 9800 Pro is taxed running my flight sims at 1600x1200, and making the higher native res jump to 1920x1200 on the Dell 24", will tax it even further. ANy recomendations on a good graphics card/which way I should go?

I was thinking of a GT 6800 card; there's lots of talk about PCI boards and cards, but from what I have read there does not seem to be a big improvment in performance and sticking with AGP would save me the cost of a new PCI mobo...What do you HArdware dones think?

Thanks

looks nice, and maby a bit on the expencive side....only thing i dont think looks to good is the stand, it just seems a little elongated

How do you mean by "elongated"? You know the monitor can be raised and lowered. If you lower it to its lowest setting, it practically touches the base.

EDIT: do you mean length-ways?

Just a quick post to say thanks to Mike for getting this all sorted out.

I just missed out on the 2 for 1 deal, but I'm more than happy with the price for a single monitor so went ahead with that instead.

The Dell sales contact seemed a bit swamped yesterday but she did e-mail me before the end of the day and her assistant has got my order confirmed and into the system this morning so everything is looking good :)

I added to Mike's PayPal account up front as a gesture of faith and shame on anyone that doesn't chip in at least something by the time they get their monitors as Mike deserves credit for getting this deal out into the open.

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. In other words, you can choose the amount of Liquid Glass you want to see on your iPhone instead of an on/off switch, which would only give you two choices. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, sidebar icons keep their color. Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass. New customizations allow Liquid Glass to improve contrast and enable a more vibrant appearance. The new icons have sharper edges, which addresses an old complaint that iOS 26 icons look blurry at smaller sizes. The upgraded Liquid Glass, Apple said, is building on last year's design upgrades by "integrating additional layers of Liquid Glass directly into the artwork itself." Apple's upgraded design language is available on iOS 27, which is arriving this year with no changes to the list of supported iPhones.
    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
