I'm interested in the price, but I'm definitely in love with my HP L2335: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/monitors/tft/l2335.html

Hell, HP's customer service totally blew me away enough to be a fan of them again. I bumped the screen, causing two spots to develop on it. Nothing super major, but it was mildly distracting when a white background came up. So, I sent an email to them that evening and they sent back the next day saying a new one was on the way. No questions asked, just sent it right along. I had a new one in 2 days flat from when I reported the problem! Not only that, they also paid for the shipping back of the broken one via UPS. Dropped it off at the UPS Store that's a 1/2 mile down the street and that was it! I'm super-impressed with HP now :)

But Dell has a lot of backlight problems ... :p

You dodged this question in other threads too.?:laugh::?:D:D

Actually, The only thing Dell on the 2005FPW is probably the Dell Logo.

Housing is BenQ and the Panel is LG.

Hence why Dell cant do anything directly & its taking a while to sort out.

the HP L2335 uses a 16ms panel, same as apple's 23"

owning such a screen I can tell ya there's absolutely no ghosting, no backlight leaks at all, nada, and I can confirm that HP's support is top notch

the 1st one I received had 2 sub-pixels stuck on, called my reseller and they replaced it without even asking to see it, 2 days after I called I had the replacement screen delivered directly by a HP support guy

Get ready for the backlight problems... lol

Though I got a 2005fpw with NO backlight bleeding  :cool:  It does have 1 dead pixel  :rolleyes:

BAH! You know what I'd give for that on my 2005fpw? Got it today and it has 4 dead pixels and nearly half the entire screen is covered in back light.

Consider yourself lucky, 1 dead pixel is nothing!

This 2405 looks cool assuming it isn't plagued with the same problems the 2005fpw has had.

The 2405FPW should not be plauged. It probably will not use an LG or BenQ Panel. It will probably use the Samsung one and everyone (hopefully) will be really happy.

The one monitor that is really good that came out of Dell is the 2001FP. It is a solid TFT from Dell. It really sucks to see so many people with problems with the 2005FPW.

I'm glad I have no interest in the 2005FPW. I do have alot interest in the 2405FPW because of tis 1920x1200 resolution. Basically this monitor will add even more space to my screen and I will not lose any screen space coming from a Dell 2001FP (1600x1200).

Lets hope for the best. Try not to expect the worst ;)

The info below is direct form the source of the raw panels themselves at Samsung Engineering:

The 24" panels are NOT in stock as of today at Dell. They may be by mid month. The cost of the new 24" panels should be WAY below the cost of the 243T especially the Dell ones, but there is obviously a mistake on the Dell site. But then again pre ordering one of these systems may just get you one and then whether they honor it or not is the question. You may end up with a 20" switch. The Samsung models will be out after the Dells and they may not be quite as inexpensive.

The specs on the "raw" panels are as follows:

Up to 1000 Contrast Ratio

Up to 500 nit brightness

16ms response time

8ms response time for grey to grey

They also said that they are able to correct dead pixels in the fab now, so there should be very few if any.

Nuf said, who doesn't want one. :D

But I cant see anything on the Dell website about this monitor.

It's sort of hidden on a Precision desktop option on the Med to large business dell page and shows up when you try to check out. Dell doesn't even acknowlege the sku # listed for it yet.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.

      with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
