That's looking good... I'm very tempted now. HDCP-enabled DVI connection, plus VGA S-Video and composite is exactly what I was looking for.

Assuming the price is reasonable I think I'll get one. Do you know if the 2007 will have similar connections?

Baddass · 19 Feb 2006 at 11:14

apparently yes it will. Both models are expected to be announced on 24/2/06

Aruffell · 19 Feb 2006 at 11:23

Looking at that spec sheet, so it will be 6ms response time?

Using the same panel as the 2405 though?

Isn't that panel old now?

not really, no. It was only released for the 2405FPW and considering there isn;t much development in the 24" sector from panel manufacturers, they don't really have a lot of choice. It's an excellent panel anyway, and perhaps the main thing that is letting it down is the response time. If this reduction to 6ms translates into a real improvement in performance then it will be very nice, and the addition of HDCP is a good thing too

Guess i'll have to wait and see what people's opinions are on the 2407.

Until then i'll stick with my 17" Dell and my Sony Projector

How did they lose 4kg ????

Aruffell · 19 Feb 2006 at 12:01

Just saw that.

That only weighs 2kg more than my 17"

That's light

The Belgain · 19 Feb 2006 at 12:06

Any indication on price of the 2007 and 2407 yet? Will OcUK be stocking them?

Magic Man · 19 Feb 2006 at 12:11

Any idea why it's so much lighter than the 2405? External PSU perhaps?

toString · 19 Feb 2006 at 12:21

Yeah ocuk need to clear up what's going on. For their customer's sake.
If the price changes as much as the 2404 does - then it's just not fair on anyone.

Tommer · 19 Feb 2006 at 14:06

why are some people saying 6ms response when the spec sheet says 16ms

Read again.

SAys 16ms black to white.

That's greyscale, not colour.

Baddass · 19 Feb 2006 at 14:32

yep. No change in the panel at the ISO black > white transition, but this has pretty much been the case for TN Film, PVA, MVA and IPS panels for a while now. 16ms is about the limit they have managed to achieve at this transition, but with the application of overdrive they've done some good things with grey transitions.

DizzyEgg · 19 Feb 2006 at 14:33

does this mean the 2405WFP will go down in price?

toString · 19 Feb 2006 at 14:46

I can't see it going up in price!

I'm guessing the stand is lighter... the one on my 2001FP is over half the weight of the screen probably!

Also, I'm glad to see they aren't going to castrate the inputs like they did on the 3007FPW

I'm just trying to list the differences between the 2405 and 2407:

12ms -> 6ms greyscale
HDCP-enabled DVI connection
4kg lighter

Please feel free to add.. As I'm not sure it's gonna be worth the hefty price tag for me...
