Hey all,

Does anyone know the differences between the revisions A03 and A04 in the Dell 2407 24" monitor?

Thanks,
Marky

A04 uses the Samsung S-PVA panel

All the 2407s use a samsung S-PVA panel. The main difference in A04 was 1:1 mapping of 1080p signals (not sure if that's through all inputs though).

Sorry to bring this back up but I thought it'd be better than starting a brand new thread

I had heard about this - but I don't know what it means

Can anyone explain?

2407 is 1920*1200 pixels and when set to 1080p the 360 outputs at 1920*1080. 1:1 means the picture is displayed using 1920*1080 pixels, leaving a small 60 pixel black border at the top and bottom, but giving you the best picture quality. Without 1:1 the screen scales the picture vertically to fill the screen, which reduces the picture quality a little.

Hmmm... I thought all the 2407s had HDCP.

Is there no way to change the 360 settings to set it up correctly in A03?

Sadly not, it won't output at 1920*1200.

Back to HDCP I believe all 2407s have HDCP but I've read a few reports of them either not doing higher resolutions than 720p with HDCP or not doing 1080i with HDCP. Baddass might have some definite info on this.

Marky · 5 Mar 2008 at 22:46

So does this mean the 2407 A03 will still be able to display 360 or PS3 outputs at 720p?

fish99 · 6 Mar 2008 at 00:50

It will definitely do that yep. I'm pretty sure it will do 1080p from the 360 too via VGA (although stretched not 1:1) but I'm not sure about 1080p from the PS3 via HDMI-to-DVI lead.

Hopefully someone will drop by who knows.

I have the A03 revision.

It displays 720p and 1080i through component perfectly, but 1080p doesn't work at all.

Marky · 6 Mar 2008 at 18:52

Ah great thanks

The only differece between A03 and A04 is A04 can do 1:1 at 1080p through DVI.A03 can`t and streches it a bit.They can both do 780p and 1080p through DVI and VGA(no point using 780i and 1080i if you can do p)but you can`t do 1080p through component as component can`t do 1080p on any monitor or TV.
