this thread is EVIL and WRONG :mad:

everytime i have a look i suddenly realy realy want on of them 24" screens

. you lot are going to put me in the poor house

.

i may get one next month depending on how things go. Are there any particular differences between the 20" and 24" panal apart from the res. also i have seen some 24" around and they boast a 12ms responce time :confused:

but according to dell its still 16ms. anyone got aany info on that ??

Thanks

Officially Dell have spec-ed it at 16ms repsonse time panel, but it uses the Samsung LTM240M1 PVA panel. On Samsung's site it is listed as 8ms, but in reality it is a 16ms screen afaik. Either way, treat it as a sub 16ms panel, and ignore the spec on paper, and go by user comments, which have been very good tbh.

Yaka, as Mr Latte has kindly pointed out, no talk of Warez / illegal copyrighted material is allowed. If you can take pics of legitimate images then that would be good

I'm closing this while I prune it. Will be back available shortly.

OK, most of the rubbish is gone and the thread is back in action.

A quick reminder to new visitors to this thread:

No discussion of pricing
No discussion of competitors
No hinting at either of the above

Not got it here but I've heard comments made about how good the colours look, Im sure with it being a new game that a widescreen mode will be avalaible init

Yep I've been playing WoW heavily on it and it looks fantastic. WoW supports widescreen resolutions without the need for a patch or any other kind of modifying and I'm impressed that my system can actually run it in 1920x1200

Gman · 5 Apr 2005 at 11:24

I've found this with HL2 as well conisdering my system isent top class its handleing HL2 in 1920x1200 without any stuttering at all

When did you order? I ordered on the 18th and the Order Status page doesn't give a delivery date. I spoke to Dell yesterday and was told they're run out and mine wasn't likely to be dispatched until the 22nd May.

So I'm a little frustrated!

Well I spoke to Dell a few days ago and they told me they expected my 24 to ship sometime next week. I will start crying if i have to wait until may 22nd :-(

Looks like they might have gotten a shipment earlier than they expected, my 2 ordered on the 31st are now showing as packed and awaiting shipment.

loopster · 7 Apr 2005 at 13:00

woohoo - likewise!! I was starting to get depressed that I won't get it for a month or so, but mine is now awaiting shipment.

I still have a major problem though... I broke my wrist on Saturday and don't fancy my chances of setting up a 24"er one handed. Question is; do I trust the wife to do it for me!!??

rtrm · 7 Apr 2005 at 13:44

I just got an email saying mine has shipped. Great news - better start clearing some space on my desk!

How long is the DVI cable that comes with the monitor?
