1080P isnt exaclty cheap to begin with. Its still very brand new, on top of buying a screen that is smaller, which actually costs more. Companies sell 1080P for larger tv's, so to find a smaller one, it would be more expensive (size wise). An example, would be a 42 inch West 1080P @ lets say...
For me, any tv that makes normal tv, look like crap is a good thing, as I want the best possible HDTV picture, and not some analog upload. Thats why the Sony Bravia's are a step under the Samsung, you were looking at IMO.
The Sony line, does a good job at showing SD cable, which is normal...
Your talking about gaming correct?
I am not a huge gamer, but there is no black bars, when i play, if I edit the resolution.
No LCD, runs well enough in my opinion, to play at lower then native, as I am picky, but comparing my Dell to others, its no worse. I have played CS, WOW, FEAR, all...
Your not being picky at all, like the others have said.
All you need to do, is figure out, is the trouble it is causing enough, to try it agian? If not do like H-street maybe said and look elswhere if Dell isnt right for you?
I wouldnt wait for SED, only because you dont know how long...
Every post you submit, just proves how negative you are, so if you read it or not, I still gain enough laughs
You dont need to pretend and act like your too cool for the room, I know you read it. Hell, if you read the first post, you have read them all.
If 19 is enough, I would go with that monitor, myself. I would probably stick with a 21 inch CRT though, for a while, and then buy a 19 or 20 inch widescreen atleast, or go a bit bigger. Of course, thats not in the 350 dollar range, but I mean, saving up, but if thats not an option, I would pick...
I havnt used a 37, but I have a 24 inch Dell, and I think anything bigger, that close, would really get to me. I like sitting at a normal desk, distance, no matter the size of the screen, so the 37 would be a bit much. Now if its for DVD watching and games, your probably not going to be 2 feet...
How did I contradict myself? Who are you to say "those kinds of posts are rediculous"? I guess I should of just expected, that your just happy with mediocrity ? When spending 1000 dollars on a monitor, its Dells responsibility, to have the monitor meet your expectations, and if not, they...
One thing that sucks about Dell, and I am sure its the same with any other company, is that if you have your RMA, to return a product, you still have to wait in line, with the people who are trying to return products as well.
Like if you call, to say "I need a new Dell" they should then give...
I feel ya Icewind. I was only on my 2nd 2405, and it was still a pain in the ass. Mine kept shutting off, on the first one.
I have not had any dead pixels, or backlighting problems, so it could of been a bad batch, if somehow you were given the same ones from a certain area?
If I were...
Actually, I would say, you have a bigger problem, trying to be rude, to someone, for no reason.
Last time I checked, this forum is related to computers, not global economics, or a broad forum, to talk about life issues.
If he posted that, in a forum, just to showoff, he has $1000 bucks...
I dont think it was, unless your now wanthing something bigger, for the same price? HOw much was the LG?
I wouldnt reccoment any other 19 incher, if you already OWN the LG, as it be useless to return it, and go through the hastle, if nothing is worth with that one
but if the price, is the...
I was in your boat a month ago Pano 26 inch, LCD.
I bought the HDMI to DVI cable, and I still was not happy with the text. I downloaded a program, that can fine tune your settings, beyond your video card settings, and still no luck.
I have a 6600GT video card, which thought would be...
I see the different shades.
I would bet, the Samsung is better, I mean your paying an extra 400, but ya.
Edit- now that you replied, I can see the borders, only because you told me, to more or less look for that.
But at first glance, without reading the post, It was the light to...
I havnt seen one, but what about a Dell 26 inch lcd?
They dont get much talk, due to the 2405 and 30 inch computer monitors, get the love here.
What about the LG RM-26LZ50 26" High Definition LCD TV. Its 1150, on sale right now, at Best Buy. I prefer the picture on that, then the Sharp...
Personally, if the extra money, dosnt matter, or you dont have a need for the 30 dollar difference or w/e it is, go for the 4ms, only because its better on paper. Will you notice it? I doubt it, unless you had two side by side, which you wont have a chance for, unless you buy both.
anyone with a 100% feedback, sure helps
Just go through the sellers, see who has sold Monitors before, and what the feedback is.
If a guy had 97% or less (even 98%), and has sold 1000 products, you know there is a chance for a problem
Keep it, try it, and if it dosnt work sell it for about 50 or 100 bucks more? Or if you cant, return it. Or keep it till you can afford a new Video Card
What about getting another one of those video cards, and running duel, could that work?
I have a hard time finding anything I dont prefer, when I use a widescreen, even if its not being use.
Take for example, you reading this post. If your screen is longer, you wont have to move the page over, if it extends past your viewing size. Or pictures ppl send. I can look at them as I...
not really no. The 6600 runs very hot, you can put it in a fridge, and see a very small drop.
Ive got four fans, a coolmaster case. My CPU runs at about 38c while in use in a game, and about 28c on idle.
The fan stinks on the 6600, but you can peak those things at about 100c and not do...
On idle (desktop), I am at about 58, 60c with my 6600gt for the gpu
the others are way cooler (cpu, system), as the 6600 rides hot.
If I am gaming, I am at about 80-85
I swtiched to VGA
at 1920by1200 in VGA, it shutoff
at 1200by1000 (went lower resolution) or w/e that is, it went dark on the top, with flickering
I am getting a new one, and Im thinkin its the monitor, because why would my 6600, do this, on VGA mode? Shutting off on a lower res then...
got one last week, 2405 that is
Worked perfect for a week, no dead pixs, nothing
Now, it shutsoff for no reason, after a few hours of use, very fun. And some nice dark flickering on the top. Thinking its the video card, 6600, but who knows
I got through the flickering problem
now the monitor shuts off avery few hours, or even less, any clue?
I am using the latest Nvida driver, but dont have the Dell Driver, any idea if it help?
it did to for me, till last night.
Are you runnin 60hz? and may I ask which driver you have installed? you can see in your Preferences, Settings, Advanced, then Ge Force 6600, then the top of the list, on the left. Thanks
to me, anything under 1920by1200 looks like dog shit.
Nothing would be worth using. Only in games, does it look decent bellow the native. But on my desktop, nothing.
If you want some pics I can show ya, but its not pretty
Hey, I own a EVGA E-GEFORCE 6600GT 128M DDR3 PCI-E video card.
Last tuesday, the Jan 2nd I got my Dell 2405. I setup the DVI, and tried a resolution of 1920by1200 (native) and it worked flawlessy
Then last night, after I shutoff the monitor, and turned it back on, I am getting shakes in...
Im not a moron by any means. Where in my post did I say you can do that. I agreed with your opinion dumbass. People should be allowed to return games. I was just posting what I saw
EB is such a hoax, thats all I am agreeing with
I use to be a laptop only guy. This past week, I built a computer, and am running it, with a 2405. The first night (keep in mind I live in Canada) I head off to sleep (computer is in where I sleep).
So I am in bed, and the heat is off, never is on. And I acutally start sweating, thinking to...
This may be a bit off topic, but I had a friend, actually call in the Better Business Burout (spelling), and reported them.
He bought COD 2, and tried to install it on his comp, hoping the game would run. He had higher then min requirements, but was not happy at all. He then took it back a...
how much more cheaper do you want, without going used?
If your going to spend 430, or 460, I would just bite the bullet and buy it from Dell, its safe, for any dead pixels, returns, all that fun stuff.
Once you try and go cheaper, you going to get into "refurbshed" or no warrenty, which...
pretty much any soundcard is better then any intergrated soundcard.
I have a dfi motherboard, the n4 one, and the soundcard or lack there of lol, that came with it, is suppose to be pretty up there, for onboard sound, and it stuck on ice.
I got a Soundblaster Audigy 2 zs for a good price...
