Dell 2407 and Xbox360 1080p gaming....

[papa1972]

so what is the setting you now use for the 360 papa......?

I just go with "fill" mode on the OSD->display settings->wide mode rather than "1:1", and then turn the sharpness down to about 20. I then put the reference levels to "standard" on the Xbox display settings. But tweak the sharpness to whatever suits you.

The banding seems to have dissapeared and Gears of War looks fine. No tearing that I could see.

Setting the reference levels at "expanded" seemed to make the contrast just a little too strong - if you do this and play Gears of War you'll see what I mean. Maybe fiddling with the contrast might counter this. Again its personal choice I suppose.

In the final analysis no monitor is perfect - we can always find little niggles, but so far I am still pretty satisfied thanks to the "sharpness" work-around.

So don't worry meathman, I think you'll be well impressed. Let me know how you get on when it arrives anway.

cheers.

I can't be arsed finding the component cable.

If you are going to spend £400 on the monitor it is worth £20 for a cable to get the full 1080P goodness. buy one!

i completely agree mark - i picked up the official vga cable yesterday and tried it out with my dell 2007 wfp and it looks great with forza motorsport 2 - i presume itll look even better with the 2407 at 1080p......?
