Hello people.

I have bought something shiny and new for my PC, again. My girlfriend told me I could, so I did. I'm glad I got what I got, and I'll let you all know about it on... Monday or Tuesday.

Oooh, ooh! What is it? A new monitor? A CPU? A mobo + CPU?

It's made by Dell and it's a 2407WFP

Grr, now evn your screen is definitively better than mine.

Here it is, the sexy beast

It has a 6ms response time, and runs at 1920x1200. Brighter and with higher contrast ratio than its predecessor, the 2405FPW.

Nice. Only problem is that 4 letter word at the bottom of the frame... EVIL!

A bit of an eyesore, yes, but it's an awesome monitor so I can live with it!

It's strange how the company who insist on making crappy computers make incredible monitors. I'm glad I waited until this moment to buy the monitor, as it had some teething problems, that's for sure. There were many complaints of banding issues, and shadowed text, where the fonts are blurred up or down by 1 or even 2 pixels. Apparently it was a problem with the DVI to screen converter... The screen was replaced in revision A02, which is what I got!

Overclockers UK had this at an incredible price, and I paid next day delivery. Unless anything happens to the delivery van, I am going to get this on Tuesday 29th some time. I'll let you guys know when I receive it. Alternatively, you may want to keep an eye on [url=http://www.city-link.co.uk/pod/podfrm.php?JobNo=CND07225]this order tracking page[/url].

Battlefield 2 and Half Life 2 will be awesome with this!

I'm glad I got that Nvidia 7950GX2 to run this with

Hmm, maybe you can somehow cover it up? LOL..

And you lucky sod. My PC's hardware ain't nearly half as good as your's.

I have lots of money and not much else to do with it apart from to spend it on my girlfriend and on my computer. I spend more on my girlfriend though, you may be surprised to hear

Damn you and your money. Unless you give me some. In which case it's praise you and your money.

It has arrived!

This thing is going to dwarf my 19 incher... and knock my speakers off the desk

Lucky sod. Large screens are good, though sometimes can be a bit big if you play games close to the screen (lack of perhiperal vision).

I have a thin desk :S

Oh well, immersiveness here I come!

OH MY GOD!!

Does this thing looks awesome or what!?

Image quality is second-to-none, height adjustable, pivotable, rotatable, 1920x1200, 6ms... You can't ask for much more.
For ?620 inc. VAT and delivery, this was well worth it.

I'll upload some pictures of how it's destroyed my desk later

Yeah, especially considering mine cost ?600 aswell. Nice specs. Lucky sod.

While it's an interesting monitor, can you please upload the links, and not the pictures, as it slows the loading of the page down.

That thing is enormous!

Species still has Dial Up. Links would be preferable to large images....

Yeah, it's even bigger than my screen . And you've seen my screen...

Oh, and as for pictures, it probably is best if we do links for the larger images, however (just to be clear), large images aren't an offence here.

OK, as for photo's of the monitor (they're 25% original size, 768x576, are they OK?):

Erm, impressive!

As for pictures, they are the right dimensions (800 max width is the general rule), however the main concern is that they are very big for 56K users, asall those pictures together would take about a minute to load on 56K. There are 2 solutions to this, the first is putting a "56K users beware" notice in the topic or changing them all to links, which I will/have do(ne).

It is rather large. Might I say that it looks larger than some small televisions.

Also, I did not say that it is an offense to upload pictures here, it just slows people down (namely me, BUT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD ON DIALUP!).

Also, I do not care how big the picture on the end of the link is. My only concern is that it slows down the loading of the forum page itself.

It is 24" and widescreen. that is a very big screen.

I know you didn't, I was just saying so for clarity purposes.

And yes, that is why they are linked, cos they only load if embedded, you can choose not to view them if on a separate site.

It's crap now though... take a look at this article: http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=34312

Erm, WOW! I WANT THAT!
