However, how did yours ship already? Mine says estimated ship date is 12/10/08. Is that because I ordered late at night and its just a generic estimate? I don't want to wait that long for a monitor.
Shipping Method: 3-5 Business Days
Shipped Date: 12/8/2008
Est. Delivery Date: 12/11/2008-12/15/200
Has the input lag been fixed on this monitor?
Can someone recommend a quiet reasonably priced AGP card for this monitor. I'm thinking of buying this monitor but I don't think my radeon 9600 is capable of displaying WUXGA. I don't game.
I'm torn whether to go for the 2408WFP with the excellent imput options or the 2407WFP that has less imput options (though it has composite which should be enough for an Xbox 360) as well as the usual stuff.
The main thing that concerns me seems to be what everyone else is complaining about - the imput lag, as well as those who apparently liked the monitor initially but have decided to send it back...unsettling for me.
I'll be coming from an old E207WFP which is obviously TN, so I'm new to this whole 8-bit color and PVA monitors, so I'm not exactly sure what to expect, but I'm looking from a monitor upgrade at least 24", 1920 x 1200 WUXGA, and something not TN as I want to experience something with better color quality and depth that TN doesn't seem to offer...on paper, at least. I don't game too much but the imput lag is making me hesitant to order an 2408WFP right now from Dell Outlet...does the 2407WFP have much of the issues that the 2408WFP seems to have in terms of color correctness and backlighting?
Also, the 2407WFP seems to be infamous for panel lottery...could I be reasonably confident that the panel I'm getting if I order one from Dell Outlet right now wouldn't be TN? That's probably the main reason why the 2407WFP costs so much more than a regular 247FP or a 248FP, but I just want to be sure.
So, I guess the TLDR is this: should I get a 2407WFP or a 2408WFP?
Hey rei1574,
Could you get me a link to that wallpaper you're using? I love the city one especially.
Thanks!

Only you can know the answer to this question, and it mostly depends on your uses and budget.
For Xbox 360 composite will not look great, especially up close, but I've heard that VGA works on the 2407WFP fairly well at 1920x1080, and component looks dark and washed out.
The 2407WFP is standard gamut which means colors will be less over saturated and garish especially with greens and reds. The 2407WFP wasn't known for ever being a TN. The Dell outlet models will most likely be Samsung S-PVA panels.
You will probably mostly notice the input lag on the 2408WFP simply because you are coming from a fast TN panel with very low lag. The Rev A01 and later have improved the input lag, but it's still probably not as low as the 2407WFP (non-HC) model.. But who knows, you may notice even the 2407WFP lag... Everyone is different in that regard. Some notice it off the bat, some don't.
If I were you, I'd also look at Dell community forums to formulate an opinion on the 2408wfp and see what people are complaining about. There are complaints about input lag, but there are also complaints about panel quality, uniformity, and other issues where the left side is brighter than the right.
Just got this baby in the mail about 5 days ago. So far everything seems to be fine. This is my first LCD coming from an SGI 21" Trinithon CRT. Colors are more vivid and screen space is awesome. Just one thing lagggggggggggggggg. I do a lot of design so this thing has met those standards. However i game often to take the edge off and the lag has shot my gameplay. I read somewhere though that if use a DVI-HDMI cable or adapter the lag is less. I have not tested this so i cannot say.
Edit: Looking into returning the 2408 and getting 2209WA
Is the 2408 A01 worth getting over the NEC/Hazro/HP monitors?
Not over the 2490WUXI or 24WMGX3 from NEC, nor the HP LP2475W. Can't comment on the Hazros as they don't sell them in Canada.
There is a test here where you can check if your monitor suffers from color banding:

I was hoping maybe you guys could help me out?, see how many suffers from it, and if the latest revisions fixes this problem.
cool, thanks for taking the time to take those pictures!
I think I will take my chances and place an order. I spoke to a dell rep a couple of days ago, explained to him about th ebanding issues etc, how this would affect my work etc, and he told me if I'm not satisfied with the product I can send it back, no questions asked. So I think that's what I'm going to do.
At least this time it's not lottery regarding panel type like it was with the 2007WFP!
Thanks again,
P
what are the recomended color settings that people are using? I feel like some of my pictures dont look right, or maybe it is my laptop monitor next to it but it seems like my laptop looks more real...
