Hey All.
Just recieved a A00,Feb revision 2408WFPb (Ultra Sharp Dell 24" for those not in the know).
We've had huge issues with it, and we are using all Dell components, so you'd think it would work.
Under XP on Nvidia cards it fails to respond to window's Contrast settings, instead of going light and dark, it causes random other colors to go pink or green. And at 0 contrast, large green lines appear, and they are not solid, but blinking. Wonderful fun.
Under Vista and ATI X1300 and 2400XT, green is everwhere. Blinking, solid lines. Its a mess. mouse over the Sidebar, and a wave of blinking green goes by. Adjust the contrast ( it does actually go dark/light in Vista) to near 0 and then make a selection on the desktop (my desktop has black background ) and i get a green equiv of a star field. Not a good sign. Now this was a replacement for a dodgy 2407WFP we had which has a lazy backlight.
I've also noticed its 'slower' than my 2407WFP, imput lag wise.
Those of you thinking of Dual head, watch out, this one just turns off if its the 2nd monitor. Could also be ATI driver issues on that one, but all my other monitors work just fine in that setup (4x 2407, 2007).
So, we're going back to Dell on this one, but damn, I expected more. In their defence, the Dell support people have bent over backwards for me (i've gone through 2 other 2407WFP 'refurbished' monitors, and they just gave me a 2408WFP which should have solved all the problems).
Good luck to all those buying 2408WFP, I hope my sample is not the norm.
