I bought a Dell 3008 WFP in March this year.It has developed a fault where the screen goes blank, it can happen at anytime. The On-Off switch stays blue, so i have to switch it off, then on again to be able to see the screen. I have been in contact with Dell Support these past two days to see what needs to be done.

worked for me.
worked for me.
just set up my 3008wfp to replace the 2407wfp. I'm very happy with it. Its huge though :S
Re: Games. Left for dead 2 wasn't really happy at 2560x1600 playing the passing. When the rain came the frame rate just died...
I know its the poor little 8800GT 512 thats slowing it down as the rest of the system has just been upgraded.
Its an i5 750 at 3.6 using an 80GB G2 Intel SSD.
I'm guessing I need to get hold of a 5xxx series card but they dont appear to be that much punch for pound unfortunately.
5850 seems to be twice the punch, 5870 seems to be up around 20-30% more than the 5850 and the 5970 seems the same as 2xCF 5850 but it costs a stupid amount of cash.
I guess ill wait for 5970 performance but at a lower price tag. Perhaps ill upgrade it in a year or so.

I'm still running with a single 5850 oc 1010/4400 and its running most games pretty well on my 3008wfp, I admit for playable fps I drop down to medium settings on some things.
I will be buying another Asus 5850 as soon as places get stock again which is looking like maybe just a weeks time fingers crossed. Otherwise Some places still have stock but selling at £260 which is abit much.

Forget the 5870 and get Quad GTX 480
this.
the high resolution makes it feel just fine. If you were sitting in front of a 40-50inch tv running at 1920x1080 then you would feel sick imo.
I must admit it took quite awhile to get but eventualy you get used to it lol
Not quite sure what your saying...
I have adjusted the font DPI scaling to 120 dpi. Which views fine for me, Seems the same as my 24" monitor I had before just a bigger screen to fit more
things on
Umm just say someone writes a paragraph of text, on a 30" monitor it will be say 3 long lines, but on a 20" it will be several shorter lines, all on screen.
Do you find it a bit annoying reading a long line of text basically because your eyes have to move that much further.
