Hi all..

bought the above when it was on special offer-approx 3 weeks ago (still waiting for my£20 back when oc upped the price midweek!!)I have a 64 4000/1.5 ram/x1900xt..i tried the oc feature within ccc when suddenly the screen went black.
pc will boot then possibly last for 1-2 mins depending.it will sometimes go to desktop but screen will again go black(not stand by)after no more than 4 mins-ish.ithought definately gpx card so borrowed a mates pci-e 6800 ultra and tried it.no luck!same fault!
changed all cables-same.
by now though i have sent my card back under a rma.
thought tonight i'd try my old vp191 viewsonic monitor-absolutely fine?

you guys think my dell is faulty or am i doing something wrong?
 
Can't now..only gets too post screen then black.thought could be psu but since going back to the vp191 it's been ok now for 2 hours-but only on web.would my x1900xt playing fear combat maxxed out on the 2407 monitor cause a problem,cause thats what i've been playing since it happened.i've had no problems with wow??
 
Tried all different cables/settings etc with monitor and still no luck.
this morning i lent the monitor to a colleague to try on his pc(he also as a 2407) same fault-black screen.i then decided it was the monitor that was faulty.

Rang oc..waited on line for 15 mins,got to number 1 in queue,went dead!
Tried again-finally after 25 minutes got through to be told to ring dell as is was now there problem..rang dell,answered phone after 3-4 minutes.after talking to technical guy for 10 minutes he decided was indeed faulty.

Replacement monitor being delivered tomorrow...surely i'm not the only one?
 
ive never heard of any problems like this before.. has to be a one off.
sorry you had such back luck mate ive had 2 and they were perfect
 
Hi all

got to work this mornining at 7:55,courier was waiting for me too exchange faulty monitor!!!..Truly fantastic service from dell.(not so sure about product though as it only lasted 4 weeks!)

Just set up monitor now and works perfect...hope i'm the only one
 
I think your 2407 fault sounds more severe than what most people send their monitors back for. Mine for instance had a slightly uneven backlight which was relatively noticeable but may have been accepted by quite a lot of members of the public (although perhaps not so many of those who read these kind of forums). Anyway, my replacement arrived a day late but i wasnt at all bothered, and they havent picked up my old one yet. nor have they contacted me about it or ever mentioned about picking it up. Hopefully they have forgotten :p
