Dell 2405FPW UltraSharp Flat Panel Monitor


Recommended Posts

Can I get a steady FPS (ideally holding near 60) in games like HL2, Call of Duty and BF2 running at the native resolution without turning off too much of the eye candy?? Anyone else have a similar setup and use it for gaming?

I also spend a lot of time on video production and photoshop work and I don't have any doubts about these uses.

I can play CS at 1920 x 1600 with an FPS of around 50/60 with most things set to high, but AA turned off or low. That's with a 6600GT though, so the 6800GT should be fine. Get the monitor, you'll love it!

I also do photoshop work, 3d and video and it's great for that.

Back up to ?856.58 now :(( www.overclockers.co.uk have got it at ?693.19 inc vat tho this week only starting today.

Try doing a CRTL + F5 to force a refresh on the page if you're not seeing the same price.

I've decided to keep the 2005 now, I've got this screen and a 17" Dell tft sat either side also, so think I've got enough desktop to cope with. Also the motion blur when fast gaming is a bit of a worry too.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if you have this problem as well? When I watch a movie or any multimedia file in full screen, the right edge of the screen would flash non-stop. Does this happen to you guys? Thanks.

P.S: This is for the Dell 2405FPW.

Nope. You might be able to send it back to Dell if it's really bad.

I just got my 24 inch for 950 shipped, with the 9100 with added options, hellofadeal lol. Anyway, there is a ****load of what seems to be backlight bleeding on this monitor, and i have the brightness all the way down which doesnt do much. This monitor is the brightest thing ive ever seen. Blacks are damn near a light black/ dark gray, but it doesnt have any dead pixeks. Anyone else have any backlight bleeding issues? For me its about a 3 inch top right corner, 2 inches on the top left corner, a 4 inch diameter circle towards the top right and about a 4 inch in diameter circle towards the bottom left.. My 18.1 inch display has a much better picture when viewing blacks, i wasnt expecting this. I think I should give dell a call. Other then the backlight issue the screen is sweet as hell

Ok im thinking about getting this. I have a geforce 5500 fx. My highest resolution I can do right now is 1280x1024. If I get this monitor will it allow me to go higher or no? If not is there sometype of software I can get to allow me too? If not would I get the best res on the 20"?

If you currently have an LCD monitor it usually only shows the resolution the monitor can go up to. In your case 1280 by 1024 but once you get the new one it should go up as high as 1920 by 1200

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • 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.
