To use someone else's post here:
A DVD's resolution is much much smaller than the capabilities of your LCD monitor. So when you go full screen with a DVD from it's original output and scale it to fill your LCD screen at 1900 X 1200 you will see the artifects of each pixel so to speak being...
You can adjust the brightness easily enough. The gaming certainly can be uber smooth (at 1900? likely no, but at 1600 without a doubt as smooth as anything you will ever find). DVD's on an LCD screen that doubles as your PC monitor is a win/win in my book. Work space? That's a MAJOR selling...
It's all about 'convergence' for me. Right now I have a small television in my study in one corner of my built-in desk and my 20" CRT/PC in the other. I have two recliners in the back of the room (room is not overly large) so I can currently watch the smaller television if I choose to. I want a...
*#$%%^%(#$%^$*& Why do I feel like Charlie Brown when he got a rock?
Stupid damn Dell! I ordered early this morning and mine STILL says the 23rd of March.
:mad: :mad: :mad:
Wish I would have know this. I would pay whatever to have it shipped overnight if that would help me get it faster. Probably too late to call and change it too.

I have received two e-mails from Dell so far. One is an acknowledgement and the other is a confirmation. Is that it until it ships then?
And for those of you that have ordered from Dell before, do they ever beat their estimated ship dates?
All they did today was allow you to order the...
You know if they had said 'sometime in March 2005!' I would have no problem hanging around. Their web site specifically says 'Dell 2405FPW launches March 1st! Click here to learn more.'. If they don't make the date, talk about blatent false advertising. Why shoot themselves in the foot like that...
I'll bet it's been delayed. Shouldn't be any different in Canada than it is here. Sucks though as the only thing I need is this monitor for my new PC.
Hurry up already Dell!
For the first time ever for me (and I always make fun of the retards that camp out at Comp USA or Best Buy), I will be up all night and as soon as the panel is available to order I'm doing it. Knowing my luck if I don't it will backorder and I'll be waiting another month.
Never thought I'd...
The backlighting issue should not be an issue at all. They are using a different manufacturer and a different technology as it relates to backlighting (I will go find the post on another forum if you'd like me to ... I have been scouring the net so hard since this was announced I just don't...
I wondered if you guys had seen the review from PC World that crapped on this monitor as far as DVD playback was concerned?
"It also had below-average DVD playback quality in our tests. When we looked at the DVD movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, we saw ghosting in...
