dell 2405 and 2407

Apart from the anitglare and the quicker response time on the 2407 is there any difference. Also gibbo says in his 2407 thread that the 2407 runs dvds at full screen. The 2405 has the black lines top and bottom which really annoys me. Does the 2407 use the whole screen?

there's no antiglare coating on the 2407WFP, but the changes are:
- new design, 6ms G2G response time, DHCP support over DVI....that's it!

DVD's will still have black borders as they are a different aspect ratio to the screen. The screen remains the same size and ratio as the 2405FPW so no change there. You can always use software to "zoom" in on DVD's to remove the borders at the cost of losing some content down the sides as well

Thats what i thought but after reading gibbos post quoted below it says that dvds can run in natural format and there is an antiglare. Would be really good if dvds could run full screen as thats main annoyance with 2405

How much longer you reckon until dead 2405's get replaced by 2407's on warranty by dell?

pretty impossible to say. We might see a few 2405FPW magically start breaking when this does happen though

Dell will have to stock up on new fuses for the plugs and a fair few will magically work again
