    Unofficial 2405FPW Thread (Now that its been announced)

    Would you still be covered by the 3 year warranty if bought second hand? That $90 difference may be worth it for the warranty if not

    Unofficial 2405FPW Thread (Now that its been announced)

    Analogue is the only way I can get 1920 x 1200. Via DVI even when set to 1920 x 1200, I get black bands either side of the screen and the desktop scrolls. I don't know if its the card (FX5200 chip) or the monitor. But even so, I really can't see much difference in quallity. I do CAD work...

    Budget level Quadro or 6600GT for CAD modelling

    I need a new graphics card, not for games but mainly for CAD - Revit, AutoCAD, Sketchup, VIZ and Photoshop. I do 3d modelling, but not very complicated models (small buildings) I want good OpenGL support, and it must be AGP. I would prefere a Quadro, but I am on a budget so it would have...

    Unofficial 2405FPW Thread (Now that its been announced)

    How do I get this monitor to display at 1920 x 1200? If I set it to 1:1 then I get wide bands at each side of the screen, full screen setting stretches the desktop. When I set my card to 1920 x 1200, it does not go to full screen but scrolls the desktop My graphics card is a Nvidia...

    According to Walsh Western courier tracking, it is sitting in the depot about 10 miles from me. The courier has 'phoned me to arrange a delivery time. Its been there since Friday, and I wanted to fetch it myself due to the bank holiday delaying things, but the depot was closed. So far...

    Opinion on the MSI (Nvidia) N5900 Ultra-VTD256?

    I have seen these on offer here in the UK for £95 (175 USD). Is this a good card for this price - I know they were much more when they originally came out. I don't play games, it will be for CAD and some 3d rendering/photoshop work. Oh, and it mst be able to drive my Dell 2405 which is...

    eBay deal -- does it worth anything?

    What a sleazy rip off. I certainly would not want to line his pockets Google, or browse some forums and you will find a code for free. Or just phone them up and negotiate the 25% discount. Easy

    Just Ordered A Dell 2405WFP, Wierd Quote Please Look

    I have just ordered one by phone too. £648 was quoted, but I may try to cancel/renegotiate later ;) With regards to keeping the second monitor, this is covered by the Unsolicited Goods and Services Act 1971. Previously you would have had to wait 6 months before you could claim the...
