I own a Dell 2405FPW and find it hard on the eyes for general work, a little too bright - contrast ration of 1000:1 and brightness level of 500cd/m2, but great for gaming. On the other hand I've used the Apple 23-inch Cinema Display and find it better for general office work, not as bright...

Just curious bench261, what was wrong with your monitor? Sent mine back for a piercing high pitched whine. Since I had it under 21 days Dell just gave me a full refund so I thought I wait a while before ordering another unit to give Dell time to work the bugs out.

I have the normal power supply hum or buzz that’s barely audible when the monitor is cold, but once it heats up it’s as if someone literally throws a switch and the monitor starts to emit a much louder high pitched whine.

I've researched Samsungs zero defect policy; it only applies in Korea. I wonder where all the panels that are returned in Korea are sold? :confused:

The Samsung 242mp (multifunction panel) isn’t a direct replacement for the 243T but an update to Samsungs 241MP multi function monitor that sells for about $4300 to $4600 today. Now who would buy a 241mp when the preorder price for its replacement is $1500 (JRProducts). For me the Samsung...

How does the Dell 2405 FPW compare with the Samsung 243T? Text crispness, color saturation and so on. I've been in the market for a 24-inch wide aspect LCD monitor for some time and was hoping once Dell released its 24-inch offering the price on the Samsung 243T would start to drop or...
