Hi Bruce,

I'll be back in the office on monday, will give you call at 10:00AM on monday. Meanwhile i will check the possibility of you returning the 2005FPW for 2405FPW. Should get back to you with an updated solution on this...

Please feel free to revert or can leave a message on my voicemail..

Kind Regards,

On the eve of my new purchase of the 2405, I find myself wary of the 1900x1200 resolution that comes with it. I have a 21in CRT and use 1280x960. I use this resolution because I really really hate everything being so small at higher resolutions. I just tried an experiment that I have tried many times in the past. I switch my CRT to 1600x1200 (closest i can come to 2405 native 1900/1200) and try to adjust all the settings to the point where I can actually see the tiny next on web pages without extra effort. I played with DPI scaling...font sizing....IE font override. But all these efforts fall short in some way to giving me a good viewing desktop. The fonts may be big, but the menu and buttons are still not properly scaled. I can almost live in windows with all the large fonts (which makes them almost BOLD typeface) but I cannot live with the tiny text on the net.

Is there any solution that I'm overlooking? I really want this monitor and am perfectly willing to spend the cash, but why spend that kind of money if it will give me an inferior experience. If I buy a 24in monitor but scale everything up, am I really gaining any extra desktop space? In a perfect world I would be able to use 1280x960 on this new panel without all the stretching...

Please help...

No need to worry. The dot pitch is .27 and everything looks bigger than it would on your 21" at the equivalent rez. The tft will also be much sharper.

Basically, text is easy to read. It's a joy infact.

Mike is part of Dells Small Business I believe with his company.

Im not sure I should tell you anymore without Mikes consent as I may get him into trouble  :pinch:

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.
