The official Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP Thread

does anyone else think Dell missed a trick by keeping the same design as the 2407? - i think its going to put off a lot of 2407 owners upgrading to the 2408

Personally i would have seriously considered upgrading if their was a new design along with the new ports - as it is i doubt ill be going near it....
 
Are we still be covered by the 'zero dead pixel' aspect of the warranty when buying from OcUK ? I just don't see it in the description in the OcUK shop, whereas it is on Dell's official page for the 2408.. I thought that might be a major selling point ?
 
Gah, want to preorder but it'll be damn near 100% of my overdraft... and I need to go back the otherside of the country to get money out of non-internet banks. =(

Although they're sold by OcUK the warranty is still handled by Dell so yes I think that should still apply. Btw it's zero bright pixels, not zero dead pixels, so it's not a 'perfect screen' guarantee, you could still have a few dead subpixels and backlight bleed and technically Dell could refuse to change it, although based on the posts I've seen here over the last few years, they usually try to keep their customers happy (and you've always got the DSRs to fall back on).

Think I will get one but not till they've come down a bit (especially as I'm skint ;)).

Whether it's correct or not, this monitor is listed as an S-IPS panel by a competitor.

they are wrong then ;) Dell have confirmed on their forums (and to me personally) that it is S-PVA. Specs no way suggest S-IPS, no idea where that rumour came from!

Any info on 1:1 pixel mapping - or will we have to wait for the reviews?

Fingers crossed, this could finally be the 24" I buy!

Their other models had it, and this one has the same settings via OSD as you can see listed in the manual :)

On Wikipedia it states that it has a Samsung S-PVA panel, does anybody know if it's the same panel as the Samsung SM-245T?

It looks like it will be a new panel from Samsung, but unsure of part number at the moment. Should be slightly updated since Samsung SM245T / Dell 2407WFP-HC models :)
