    Unofficial 2405FPW Thread (Now that its been announced)

    I'm running Windows 2000, and when I turn off my 2405 using its power button, Windows gives me a nastygram telling me I've disconnected a USB device without stopping it first. Is it hurting anything to turn it off this way?

    Monitor Test?

    Somebody posted a link to a monitor test but I can't seem to find it. Just got my new 2405FPW and I'd like to see how it does in the test. Can anyone repost that link? Thanks a lot. :)

    Return policy on the dell 2405 (dead pixels Report)

    I'll bet a lot of customers aren't as picky as the rest of us and overlook a dead pixel or two. Heck, some may not even see them! I'm crossing my fingers that my 2405 comes with all pixels intact. I'm glad Dell has the 21-day policy, but still--it's a hassle to have to deal with returns.

    Display arm for a 2405 Dell ?

    Interesting... Check this out. Dell has the 7500-800 model, which is supposed to hold 5-21 pounds (the 2405 is 22 pounds, but that probably includes the stand)...

    Display arm for a 2405 Dell ?

    $275. OUCH. Is there anything out there that will work just as well at half the price?

    2405

    With a 24" screen on my desk, the only reason I'd get a second monitor is to check Web page displays on a smaller screen (I'm a developer). And in that case, I'd pick up a 15" monitor and run it at 800x600 resolution. Two 20" screens--man, that's a lot of desk area, even for a flat panel...

    So should i be looking at contrast or brightness...

    Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe crispness is determined by the dot pitch value. The smaller the better.

    Anyone know of special price breaks on the Dell 2405?

    I talked to Brad last night. He wouldn't honor that coupon code, because he said it was for the Home side of the business, and at $860, the price on the monitor was too low for further discounts. Somebody at Dell apparently screwed up by giving Cr@zzy the discount, but hey--at least one of...

    Dimensions--2005FPW vs. 2405FPW

    My honkin' CRT is 21" tall, measured from the desk to the top of the plastic molding. How does the 2405FPW compare to that?

    Unofficial 2405FPW Thread (Now that its been announced)

    Anyone know if this monitor will perform OK with a Sapphire Radeon Atlantis 9600 video card (with 256MB DDR)?

    Dimensions--2005FPW vs. 2405FPW

    This may seem like a silly question, but how tall are each of these monitors when lowered fully? I have a small office and often work across my desk from someone. It'd be nice to be able to see over the monitor, which I sure can't do with my 21" CRT boat anchor. Also, if you own either of...

    Dell’s UltraSharp 2005FPW widescreen 20-inch LCD monitor.

    Anyone know of any great deals on the 2005FPW right now? Best I can find is 15% and free shipping on the Dell site. Needs to be better than that! Coupons, anyone? Thx

    Three Dead Power Supplies!

    Well, I broke down and took the box in to a repair shop. The capacitors looked OK to the naked eye, but we'll see what they say after diagnosing the issue. If I have to replace the motherboard, I'll upgrade in the process. What would you guys recommend in terms of motherboard/processor/RAM...

    Three Dead Power Supplies!

    Thanks for the info, guys. (BTW, I'm of the female persuasion... :D) How do I recognize a bad capacitor by sight?
