Hell no I love the thing!! It's just that after a day or 2 the huge size is not that "overwhelming" anymore. My ex gf said the same once, come to think of it... :D

just wait a day, it doesent look that big then anymore. :(

I'd go for the Lacie Electron 22 Blue IV if I were you. it's an awesome 22" monitor.

i just tested flash mx 2004 here and i notice no problems. not with small flash files nor with huge ones. My best guess right now is that it would be a video driver issue don't you think?

this is my office in the evening: http://www.e-volutionmedia.nl/temp/dell2405.jpg (2 week old photo) during the day its brighter. but because every monitor is different my exact settings wont always work for the next guy. I found it pretty dim as well, however it is correct. It's really one or...

Here is a little update on my color settings for you graphic designers out there! I use my 2405 for graphic design along side a lacie 22" CRT. I have the colors matched very close now with the following settings: - Brightness 15 (lower is still within range, but not higher!) - R - 21 - G...

I use mine for graphic design along side a lacie 22" CRT. I have the colors matched very close now with the following settings: - Brightness 15 (lower is still within range, but not higher!) - R - 21 - G - 20 - B - 12 - Gamma 81

Only usefull thing on there are the drivers which you can also DL from the dell site can't you? The other thing is a specs and Q/A sheet that's the same as on the website. But you could always order a new cdrom from dell I guess

oh, well must have missed it then, ive been following this forum since the birth of page 1. :)

Wow, this panel is not made by Samsung at all!!!! :( It's a Benq panel: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/monitors/2405fpw/English/appendx.htm

Mail the programmer of the thing, it's a bug.

I have a mx1000 a GF 6800gt but dont have this problem at all. It might be worth testing what happends when you go to you display properties > settings > advanced > troubleshoot and DISable "Enable write combining". I keep that off cause the games run faster for me with it disabled.

Try installing the mousedrivers, would be my best guess. If it's just choppy, defragging could help, worked for me at least. i have a mx1000

Why would you want to do a thing like that? The monitor runs at 1920x1200 nativly not 1680x1050. For what it's worth to you my nvidia 6800 GT does support 1680 and so does my ati radeon 9700 card in my laptop. it's the laptops native resolution. but im using very old drivers on it (6.14)...

yup, I had mine for about 2 weeks, I am from Amsterdam

Rotated.. This monitor is made for Reason. :)

YES, thats it! :)

Well, the one I have only has one arm, instead of the one with two of m that i found on their site. Go here to check compatability

Yep, i got a neo flex one with single arm. It connects to the desk and it looks like this:

My original foot didnt have any sagging at all to be honost, it was perfectly leveled. This stand cost me 91 euros, so it should be around $90 i'd say. More info here: http://www.ergotron.com/

i replaced the dell's foot, so for those of you that dont like the standard one this would be an good option imo.

I just love the screen! I Also own a lacie 22" CRT for graphics work but the 2405 even seems to have a much wider color range and much better contrast and sharpness! I dont know what crack people have been smoking that think it looks washed out but they might have to spend some time adjusting...

When playing High Definition video material i see some small glitches in the video (only in the video!). I tried different video players, all with the same result. Anyone else experienced this? Wonder what is causing this..

It actually does NOT look like crap out of native mode, it scales very nicely. you can choose to keep a 4:3 aspect ratio throught the screens' menu if you prefer though.

Nah, I can't make m out as it is, unless you put your face right on the screen.

yes, for now at least :)

It actually came out Custom for me: x: 0.3054 y: 0.3216 I was not sure what fosphores to use though, which did u set?

I was trying to avoid it too but still had to as you can read above. worth it though.

Double post this is, but i know people here want to know about this here too. Allright! I got my pixel perfect 2405 in today and have been working on the color settings to get a result that is as close to my Lacie 22 blue IV CRT monitor as possible. I have to say that the colors this dell...

Allright! I got my pixel perfect 2405 in today and have been working on the color settings to get a result that is as close to my Lacie 22 blue IV CRT monitor as possible. I have to say that the colors this dell beauty can produce are really astounding. Although I really love the default SRGB...

This one is a little more convenient, imho: http://www.dps.uk.com/freeware_DTP.htm

Ah, don't you worry, they just need to get used to it (bunch of wussies j/k). I currently have a 22" crt lacie and when i just got it i was overwhelmed by the size but after a day or 2 you'll be used to it and want something bigger :)

How about a Actual nekkid (as in real life) hunny.. :D

A lot of big American corporations are starting to focus more on Europe because there is more money to be made there now thanks to Georgies oil war. And don't forget that Samsung, the maker of this LCD, is not exactly an american company either. H'm lets see, hey they are Korean. ;)

At least we can say with certainty now that the box looks bigger then the screen itself! :D

Im still here! :) Still don't have mine in yet though.. tap tap tap

What patch and widescreen tweaks would that be?

i am the guy with the lacie but youll have to wait about a week before i get mine in unfortunatly. In the meantime aren't there any other designers in here that got it in already? Btw, I also ordered a calibration spider today which is also supposed to calibrate lcd monitors. But they had to...

That's just what i was wondering about.. I'm currently on a 22" CRT and the 2405 almost looks small to me.. hope its just the pictures. Could someone tell me what the height of the actual screen itself is (so just the viewable area)?

I ordered this calibrator today: Lacie Blue Eye 2 Works with both crt and lcd.its around $250 here in holland ussually (I paid 200) it sais $278 on the lacie site. (Off topic: I noticed the last couple of months that, for the first time ever, hardware is getting cheaper for us in europe...
