Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
You most likely aren't gonna find anything better than what you already have at $350. At that price range...you're mainly looking at TN panels, which you may or may not care about, but considering your 3007 is an IPS, that's a huge difference.
Wow, that looks great man, that is what I plan to do. Half way there right now :D. Need to save money and wait for another half off deal from Dell haha. (I paid $550 CAD for mine, original is $999)
UPDATE:
I just finished talking to a couple Customer Service reps from Dell, and I explained my situation and Mary, one of the reps, simply said, "Ok, I'll just send you a replacement then". Simple as that. Amazing service from her, appreciated a lot. So I'll be getting a new 2709W in a few...
Alright, did a bit more messing around, and still cant seem to get the problem fixed...
I did notice though that the blue/purple tints seem to be inverted. On the Head-fi.org forum, the logo should be a pale bluish color, but on the monitor it is very purple. Same with Google results, the text...
Thanks 10e. Yes OS X does use 1.8. But I was messing around with some of the settings and even tried switching it to Mac gamma, and still didn't work. 2.2 has always worked better for me anyway, since that is what I use in my calibration for my macbook screen.
The only thing I can do to fix it...
Ok, I think I ran into a little snaggle.
I installed 10e's profile and everything looked great, colors are very well reproduced. Except in one very weird way. Whenever I search on Google, the results come up purple, but not the kind of purple that happens because you have already clicked the...
Does the 2405 have a composite? I think you have to reset the PS3 to defaults first and then reconfigure it. At least that's what I had to do, although you are still using HDMI from the PS3, so that shouldn't have an effect. Just try resetting the display settings, and then redo it while its...
Received the monitor this morning! It's HUGE! :D Very happy with it. Loaded it up with 10e's profile and it looks great.
Manufacture Date: April 2009, Rev. A02. No dead pixels that I can notice so far. Also, I played a bit of Bioshock on my PS3 through it, and there wasn't any noticeable lag...
