    Dell 2209WA suffering wishy-washy colours

    Purchased a used 2209WA A01 on eBay, supposedly privately owned and light use. Turned up in excellent condition, but there’s a slight monochrome look to everything, with reds looking too bold or looking pinkish, also skin tones don’t look right. I’ve had a play around with the...

    Bigger dot pitch = what % increase in text size?

    Thanks netwebber. I think I understand. So if you double the height of text, that equals 100% increase in one dimension (height), but equals a 300% increase in overall area / two dimensions? You’ve lost me. Me being thick, no doubt. Can you kindly explain again how you got 26%...

    Bigger dot pitch = what % increase in text size?

    What increase in text size, can you expect, from the various dot pitch numbers? A 1920x1200 27” (dot pitch: 0.303) versus a 1920x1200 24” (dot pitch: 0.270). Applying simple maths, 303 is a 12.2% larger number than 270, but does that equate to an on-screen text size increase of 12.2%, or is it...

    Identifying Model Revision on Dell Monitors

    Thanks! :) I can't see the model revision, presumably that's on the lower part of the label, out of shot in that photo?

    Identifying Model Revision on Dell Monitors

    The model in question is a 2709w. There’s one on eBay, and I want the seller to tell me which revision it is (A00 to A04), so I can work out how old it is (he claims only 8 months, but they sold out long before then). So where abouts on the monitor do you look?

    Thanks 10e. Very helpful. :cool:

    Dell 2709W

    And over-saturated? Sorry 10e, what are you saying there? More accurate but still over-saturated? It’s not going to be as bad as this, is it? I’ve got two buying options: a used 2709w for about £240 ($385), no warranty, or a 2209wa, refurbished, 3 years Dell warranty, £185...

    Dell 2709W

    Thanks for that info, Dave. :) I see 10e has 36 posts in this thread, I’ll read those when I’ve got time, but if I follow 10e’s settings, I can avoid saturated colours? Another question: Where on the monitor will it state the revision number, A00, A01, A02, etc...

    Dell 2709W

    I’m looking to pick one up on ebay. Can someone explain in easy terms the relevance of the wide gamut issues? These issues are touched upon in this thread, but I don’t fully understand them, or whether they would impact on my useage. The nice big pixel pitch is what is attracting me, for less...
