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.

    • Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
    • I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
    • Everything they say you can already do yourself on the registry by changing some things.
    • Artist's renderings are so much nicer to view than the real thing, don't you think?
