I grabbed that bargain too. Was holding off for the new NEC or Samsung.
But couldnt justify the extra £300 for the NEC. Getting delivered next week

What settings you people use btw? In movies it feels like its missing vsync? There is certainly no ghosting for sure. Is there a vsync setting ? or something else?
Also does it matter what frequency you set? 59Hz - 75Hz you can set it. Any difference?

There's no v-sync type setting I can think of. However, I think there may be better players for video that prevent such things. I'm not sure what yet because I'm still waiting for my damn screen!drak3 said:

I don't know if it will help, but have you installed the FFDShow codec?drak3 said:

When I got my 2407, I searched for some HD videos to test picture quality, and I found a site which recommended FFDShow and MPlayer, which I installed. Videos run perfectly for me with WMP 11 or MPlayer.
If you want to check out some HD video, then this is one of the best quality 1080p video clips I've seen so far (242Mb):

Got mine in the post. Haven't got the actual screen though!

Thanks mate. I think it improved
By the way, is nvidia better for watching videos or ATI? I mean the driver support and things like PureVideo that demo shows. I got ATI atm, never had the chance to watch HD using nvidia.

The problem is what you get with Vsync off in a game. The screen does not ghost, so is either player or driver issue.
The only minus of these monitors is the slight video noise you can notice if you are watching from your desk (thats 50cm away?) which is insane for such big size monitor. However, the desktop view you get is A++!

Well I know the some of the PureVideo features you get by paying Nvidia extra come as standard with ATIdrak3 said:Thanks mate. I think it improved

Original was based on 8 bit Samsung LTM240M2 Panel. However its gone through many iterated versions of this Panel since to resolve the banding issues found in the first release.ATI said:

Yes, it uses an S-PVA (true 8-bit) panel.ATI said:
There's detailed info on all Dell monitors on wikipedia:

thanks for that
i,m a bit confused, i have read couple of posts and i,m worried about:
- colour banding
- contrast isnt available via dvi
- text fuzziness
and confused about it not able to play 1080p:
how does it compare to benq 241w in terms of IQ?
thanks

colour banding? wow, this worry is still going on?! the banding has pretty much all been eliminated now, i really doubt you would see any in real use, maybe some slight traces if you go searching for it with gradient patterns. Tbh though, that is quite common on most screens, i would not worry about the infamous "banding issue". Contrast is rarely available via DVI interfaces on TFT's, but again, not something to be worried about. You can always change things via your GFX card settings if need be, but i doubt you'd need to anyway. Text fuzziness was fixed with Rev A01, so no need to worry about that any more.
Regarding the HD support, that list was originally based on what the genesys controller chip can handle. I've seen some talk of upgrades on latest rev, but i'm not sure if that is the case.
