same on VGA and DVI? Tried another PC at all?

Yeah there was a similar effect on VGA at work I think (diff computer also) I just put that down to VGA not being so good :(

I'm really really gutted.

I can't believe some people have 2 of these things, that is just well unbelievable!
 
im guessing they havnt got the same prob, 2 of them would be huge wouldnt it. Id love one of those though, just have to be content with the 1 20" for the moment.

Good luck with the replacement.

You do need quite a wide desk. Mine have a small gap between them (not by choice, but I just can't get them positioned quite right) and they're chewing up 1.13m of desk space.

The stands have changed since I took this pic, I've got a pair of Neo-Flex Ergotron's now.

I've got three of these monitors, all perfect. You're just unlucky. Dell have released a revised version of this monitor now.
Oh yeah I know that lol it's still an amazing piece of kit, should get another on Friday/Saturday hopefully.

@Japp74. I took it from these very forums in the post your desktop thread. I'll email it to you if you want

That's not fair :( Even that photo of them takes up near 1.13m :p

weird !!

so how do i get my email address to pabloB then ?

enable your trust account, put it in your sig, post it in this thread, check his trust in case he has his enabled :) any of those would do
 
Well just thought I'd update you all and that I got a nice replacement screen. Not bad for £450 ;)

The new screen was only manufactured in Feb and is miles better than the other one I had (yes I know this one works!!) but this new one isn't as bright as the older model which is a absolute bonus. This is Manufactured in Hungary whereas I don't think the other one was - does that make a difference?

Might be time for me to look at a 2405, the old batch were (I belive) built in mexico. If the new site has improved them its possibly time to part way with my 2005 :)
