New monitor ordered (Dell 24" WS TFT)

[Martin]

My good friend mikeshoup is helping me import a Dell 2405FWP (24" widescreen TFT), I'm already in love, before even receiving it. :D

It has lots of input connections, meaning I will use it as a monitor, TV and Xbox gaming screen. :)

Here it is next to a 17" WS Samsung.

Guess who's gonna break into your appartment, assrape you, and steal some stuff on the way out? I'll tell you, it's vampireuk!
/me drives towards Sweden.

20 ms if I'm not mistaken

I'd like one of those, except I probably don't have the desk real estate for one, besides, I thought my Samsung 193P was big :happy:

long live LCDs!

[smegforbrain]

I tell you guys what:

If I come back from my trip to Vegas at the end of the month with a few grand to drop... this will be my toy of choice. :D

[Martin]

No it's 16ms. :)

[Martin]

Hmm actually, Dell US states it's 12ms:

While Dell Europe states 16ms. Either way it should be great for gaming. :)

[Hexidecimal]

*drools* I thought my dual 17's were nice, DVI that bastard.

[ScottJC]

new monitor again? what's wrong with your old 20" one? I still love my 19" TFT :)

[Jaz]

Jeez, how much did that rude boy set you back?

[Martin]

I ended up returning the 20" so I'm currently on a 17" CRT Samsung from the 90s :P

Jaz: Not sure yet, hopefully a lot cheaper than buying it locally at least. :P

[JinXD]

Sod buying that, the price in the UK is way out my budget! Looks great though :drool:

http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1027384402&postcount=1Interesting, I already have access to a premier account with Dell.......

[Martin]

It's on its way. :)

[Martin]

Finally received it, I'll post some pics tonight :)

[Remote]

It's getting late :P

[Jakob]

how many dead pixels, my 17" LCD has none:D

[ScottJC]

Dead pixels eh? I got none either.

[Martin]

Had too much fun with it yesterday, will see if I got time to take some pics tonight ;)

Xbox through component looks awesome on it! TV looks OK, like expected (got analogue TV so just a crappy antenna cable). Still, great to finally have a TV, my last one broke last summer during the world cup :(.

And for regular computer stuff, what can I say...amazing. 1920x1200 through DVI. :D

Perfect backlight (common with uneven backlight on large tfts) and no dead pixels as far as I can tell (they're so damn small :P), I'll go through it later.

So far, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. And I didn't have to pay import tax, meaning I saved about $600 compared to buying it from Dell Sweden. :)

[JinXD]

Nice! I so want one of those now, maybe with next months pay packet :P

[Burnpro]

where are the pics martin ??
share your "top secret" info on how to get it at half the prize...

[Remote]

it's half the prize since it's bought from the us instead of sweden :P

[Martin]

Alright, alright, gimme a break! :P

[CpU MasteR]

my god, you have sexy feet :p

[Martin]

Thank you CPU :P

Here's a few more shots.

First one shows the picture I get through the TV tuner, not too good, but I can live with it.

Second shot shows the monitor in "work mode" with the monitor arm swung around the other way. Unfortunately the monitor is too heavy for my monitor arm so I have to put a couple of hard plastic boxes below it to get the right height (else it'll be flat on the table :P), you can see one of them just below the monitor.

[ScottJC]

Nice, I like mine better though (my feet that is) nice monitor too ;)

[Jaz]

Dude that thing is so sweet. I want one.

[JinXD]

:drool:

That looks freakin awsome!

EDIT: I'm getting worried now, whats with the electrical tape and large knife beside your bed? :P

EDIT2: Vile it's 24inch

[Dysprosium]

How big is that monitor?

I love the size of it, but I'm not much a fan of it's stand. I prefer it to just be below the monitor. :P


Edit: 24 inches!? That's almost as large as my 27 inch TV!

.... I want one. :i

[mikeshoup]

I should have kept the monitor and told you it was lost in the mail...

[Remote]

Hehe, I can't believe you didn't :P

[smegforbrain]

*sigh* Only won $200 on my Vegas trip (having spent about $50), so no toy like this for me.

Martin, I envy you.

But, please, can't you atleast get a pointy stick or something to use insteadof your feet? :)

[Jakob]

EDIT: I'm getting worried now, whats with the duc tape and large knife beside your bed? :P

Two things, the word is duct, and, that's electrical tape

[JinXD]

Two things, the word is duct, and, that's electrical tapeI stand corrected.
