Dell 2405FPW UltraSharp Flat Panel Monitor

[Hypoxiaicon]

My Original. Still have it

Replacement 1 (Sent back)

Replacement 2 (bad Back light bleed from bottom left, pretty bad and minimal across the top)

All good fun :p

[Blaine]

The only reason I want this instead of just settling with a 2005FPW is because I see people who have had to trade theirs in like seven times or so to get a good one. Hypoxiaicon which number are you on like the third or something? That's crazy.

I'll wait for this monitor and see if I can get it, but first I have to get a Dell 700m..

Yeah, I own the 2005FPW and it does have a lot of problems with back light bleeding and dead pixels. I just hope the 24" is of better quality :unsure:

[tazdevl]

Bulk of the backlight issues with the 2005 FPW have been solved.

[YBG]

yeah right.

[DeNaLi]

If it's good in features and price, then I'm gonna be in for one pretty quick ! :yes:

[emo]

Remember we're seeing this from the "HIGHER EDUCATION" dept. The Education depts get things last. You may find this in the Home & Home Office and/or SB Section earilier!

[ike]

wow that looks nice! i wonder if you can switch off the card reader for people who want more than one of these monitors... yes, you could just unplug the USB cable but it'd be nice to still be able to use the USB hub part of it without having 8 card reader drives in My Computer

though i guess you could just disable it in device manager...

The 2405FPW features a height-adjustable stand, allowing the panel to swivel, tilt and pivot into portrait orientation. Its optional sound bar, which attaches to the bottom of the panel, is as space-saving as it is powerful, delivering 14 watts of audio output.
