afaik they have the A01 from initial shipments. Since the A01 = A02 from reports, there isnt really any need to wait is there?

there's been no official annoucement or mention even of any changes, and from user reports, performance is the same. No massive changes like there was with A00 > A01

But didnt A00 to A01 drastically reduce banding on desktop mode and fix the blurry text? :confused:

yes, A00 > A01 WAS a massive change, with Faroudja video processing turned off in "desktop" preset mode which helped drastically reduce banding. Text blur was fixed at this time as well thanks to the new firmware. I'd said "No massive changes like there was with A00 > A01" meaning there were massive changes with A00 > A01, but no massive changes with A01 > A02

Ahh, Sorry.. That makes sence... I should probably start reading posts before I hit reply...

Just a quick question, a Dell monitor (2407 from the US) that runs on 110- 240 volts can't work with a UK power adapter, or can it?

tmileson · 24 Jun 2006 at 09:24

If it supports 240v it should be fine - just needs a UK plug on the power cable

Well mine arrived yesterday (which was my birthday so that was nice

). It's an A02 revision and there is still visible banding in the desktop mode. I don;t fin it a massive problem as this monitor is for gaming and CAD work. I did take some pictures but they came out poorly so I'll take some more this afty. Changing to the other modes does introduce more banding and tbh I can't see much of a need to change from the desktop mode. There's no visible ghosting in games and I'm well impressed with the gaming experience. I'll see how Dell deal with the banding issue and if they do sort it I can always look at replacing it under warantee or something in the future, although tbh I doubt I'd bother

Here's a few of my A02. Can't Say i can see anything visible banding in desktop mode as others have mentioned

Perfect!!! Thanks for that answer!

Just purchased it for $839.90 USD which is £ 461.43 GBP

I think that makes £542.16 in total after taking in account the tax added in customs...

Should be with me in the next 7 - 10 days. (could have paid $769.90 but I cba to wait 3-6 weeks for it)

Wohoooo! My pr0n movies (and my gaming) will look so much better now.

I will fully utilise my monitor

Have a look at the following website, there is horizontal banding in each mode. In nornal general use though it isn't a problem at all though, so I'm happy with it
