Virtunate Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I noticed your using the VGA connection instead of the DVI? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Reaper Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Thanks for the review. Went out and bought it at the Dell kiosk. Got it for a sweet $500 CAD after taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancode20 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I received my monitor today, too. Words can't express how amazing it is! The sucker sure is bright. I turned it down to 47 and I may even have to go lower. What's a good brightness setting for those that have one? I haven't even installed it using the CD. Should I do that? Any advantages in doing so? I played my Xbox 360 on it in 1080i, and that's pretty awesome as well. I watched the trailer for "Evan Almighty" in 1080p for the first time. Wow, that's pretty sick!! Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2687 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I have the brightness at 40% This monitor is awesome. My only complaint is that you can do PIP on the VGA and DVI port but that's a minor thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Reaper Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I got this monitor today and this thing is massive! Well worth the price I paid for. Just be sure to have a very good video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juan Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Just got my Dell 24" today. It's the A03 revision. At first the text seem a little blurry, but after I went in and tweaked around with the phase and pixel clock settings on the OSD, everything worked greaT!!!! Highly recommended!!! Go for it!!

Stormtrooper TK421 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Would anyone mind telling me accurately the physical dimentions, specifically the depth of the screen alone? Dell.com says 7.6" in depth but I think that's rediculously deep for only a 24" monitor as there are 50" plasma televisions that are only 6" deep. Why you may ask? I'm considering buying an Ergotron arm to support this monitor but anything deeper than 4" will put the center of gravity so far out that the arm cannot support the weight of the monitor although the arm touts a 20lb weight capacity.

Rob2687 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) It's somewhere between 3 to 4 inches. Anyways... After having it for a while I'm kinda disappointed with this monitor but more so with Dell. The first unit I received had major ghosting/shimmering. The replacement unit I got still same problem but it also has major banding. The banding is really only most noticable on a single colour gradients. The ghosting however sticks out like a sore thumb. Many people complain about this problem on various other forums including the Dell forums. (N) (N) Edited January 23, 2007 by Rob2687 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I would like this monitor, but am waiting on an hdmi version. I'd also like to have it from apple if they would lower their prices to at least be semi-competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stump52 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Just got mine yesterday, haven't tested anything other than the DVI interface, however, that looks absolutely stunning. This is probably the brightest monitor I've ever used; I have an older Dell E172FP next to it to run iTunes, etc. on, and the 2407 almost makes it seem like its off, I had to turn the brightness to 25% or my eyes would ache. Overall the picture quality is superb, though it will probably make me want to upgrade my video card again soon (currently have X850 XT PE) so I can run the latest stuff at max resolution. Oh yeah, mine's the A03 version, I got it from FuturePowerPC.com. I've never dealt with them before, so I couldn't say if having the newest revision is typical of them, though the shipping certainly processed quickly... food for thought in case anyone is about ready to buy one and is leery of some of the stories of horrible experiences with ordering through Dell's site (I know I was).

SamNeeds Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I hope to get my hands on one of these, as long as the price drops significantly that is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EwanP Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I just got myself one of these for ?449 delivered, awesome screen - rev A04, brand new. Bought it via ebay, can recommend ericbunny as a good seller of these screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snipe Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I am thinking about getting one of these. I have a 2005FPW, but I want something a little bigger, do I go for this or pay almost double the price and get the 27"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeNoEviL Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Got mine today - Dell had an Easter sale - one item each day ?407 delivered. Rev 04 too. Absolutely stunning, well happy with it...no problems with it at all... Vista Dreamscapes etc look brilliant on it - games play really well. Had a Fujitsu 19" TFT prior to this - it seems to dwarf it! Best purchase I have made in a couple of years no doubt about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malisk Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Yeah, these are big mofo's... :) Use one at work, and I don't think people getting them will be disappointed. :) Sure, you won't be guaranteed to get one with an S-IPS panel (especially in Europe it seems, Dell silently ships different models and won't replace your screen if you noticed you got a panel model you didn't want), but otherwise I've heard mostly good things about them.
