i'm located in california
I ordered it on 22nd, and got it on the 23rd.
$384 shipped.
I got free overnight shipping and 10% off
Figures my luck. I ordered new on the 22nd at about 8 am and mine stills says the 15th of may and I'm also in CA :-(
With NVIDIA cards, you have to add a custom resolution using the advanced timing option, and use the CVT reduced blanking timing standard, otherwise the driver lies to the OS. The LCD is reporting the correct rate.zod96 said:When I set my to 75hz it the OS reports it as 75hz but on the OSD of the LCD it says only 60hz, so which is it? Is the OS reporting it wrong or the LCD?
You were robbed! Everyone is getting them for $212 shipped plus tax ($224 total or something close to that). Or did you pay that for two of them shipped?
Edit: I got it for $192/monitor shipped OTD (Includes free over night)
Still not the greatest. I paid $448 shipped for two new monitors. So about $32 more for a new monitor with 3 year warranty vs refurb with 90 day.
new/refurbished. same deal to me.
- zero dead pixels
- identical in color/contrast
- zero heat problems, like some people have had.
- i got 3 year warranty , not the 90 day
- $64 extra cash for food
so you tell me the difference between yours and mine, other than the obvious?
Warranty is what's important to me. That's great that you were able to get the 3 year on the refurb monitors. When I added the refurbs to my cart It said 90 days. I also called Dell and spoke to two different people who also said 90 days. If I could have gotten 3 years I would have gone with the refurbs.
it's like the lottery, you just have to speak to the right one, and say the right things.
Just spoke with DELL they did get some 2209WA in. But not alot and their back to a 3-5 week lead time :-(

It should work. I don't know why it wouldn't. Maybe the timings it chose for you aren't compatible.Malatesta said:When I try this my monitor gives me an error on a black screen that says my timings are not supported by the monitor. Looks like the 75Hz no workie for me.
I need to call in a replacement, however I've never done it before so would like to ask some questions.
Will they ask what is wrong with my item, do I tell them about the stuck pixel or do I just say that I'm not happy with it?
Also, if the replacement that is sent to me is worse than the one I currently own, am I allowed to keep my current one and send the replacement back, or do I HAVE to take it and send my current one in?
Thanks in advance.
What program are you using to get the 75hz? In the Ati CCC their is no way to change things like that. And in the windows control panel their isn't eiither...
Just spent the last few hours comparing the Dell 2209WA and the LG L227WTG-PF next to each other. A friend and I were checking them out side by side. Well first, yes the Dell blows away the LG in view angles no doubt their. And the stand and the quality of the Lcd itself are better than the LG. But, when looking at the internet and text in general, the LG with its glossy screen looks much better, its sharper and easier to read. Also when viewing website the Dell has like a textured background to it when view websites. The LG is smooth as silk. Then we looked at pictures, and no matter how we setup the Dell the LG just looked much more vibrant and alive where the Dell looked dull and faded. In games they looked the same. Blacks looked darker on the LG as well. To me the only thing the dell beat the LG in was view angles and the stand. And I don't stand up when using the computer or sit to the left or right of it, I sit in front of it so to me view angles don't mean anything. I thought IPS panels were supposed to be much better color wise than a TN? No matter what picture we looked at the LG tn panel looked better, much more vibrant and alive. Is that the effect of the glossy screen? Because if it is I much much prefer a glossy screen to a matte one because they seem to make everything dull and faded. Ok now it time to get yelled at about how much better an IPS panel is to a TN I'm sorry I just don't see that, if fact I see pretty much the opposite....

And you say the stronger color is not right on the LG, how so?

The things you're talking about have nothing to do with TN vs. IPS. It's more wide gamut vs. standard gamut and glossy vs. matte.zod96 said:Good post 10e thanks. But even text looks sharper and easier to read. As I was reading your post, I found it much easier to read and see on the LG than the Dell. Everything just seems so dull and flat on the Dell, and the LG is alive and vibrant. I can understand how someone would choose the view angles on the dell over the LG, but I mean when looking at colors and pictures the LG like you said just pops out, where the dell is just plain dull. When I look at a photo I want to see it and say wow! With the Dell its like aw ok nice photo, but it looks faded and dull. Believe me I want to keep the Dell I keep telling myself this is a IPS panel and its alot better than a TN panel. But everytime I compare the two the LG catches my eye more. If the Dell was a glossy screen I would love it in a second. I wish dell would release a glossy 22 or 24 inch ips panel. People always want to see better pictures and colors, and with a matte screen you don't get it as good as a glossy. And you say the stronger color is not right on the LG, how so? It looks perfect to me. I'm using windows 7 and the wallpapers in their are pretty cool, on the LG they look awesome, on the dell very bland. It could be that I don't know how to calibrate. The Dell is at factory defaults and so is the LG. I'm still trying to decide which one to keep..
Well if it is fake it does a very very good job at faking it. I mean if you went to the store to buy an LCD and you didn't know the difference in panels. I bet 9 out 10 people would look at the LG and go wow awesome colors and then look at the Dell and go hum that is a really dull and faded looking monitor with dull and faded colors. So from a marketing stand point, I can see where the LG would sell a lot more then the dell..
