The official Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP Thread

typically i got a A00 version of the monitor, having ordered tuesday and received yesterday.

is this possibly the reason why the monitor goes into power saving mode when trying to connect my xbox/ps3 using dvi-d to hdmi cable?

if so, i'm a bit annoyed.
 
I couldnt wait any longer, and ordered my whole new PC including the Dell 2408 on Friday given that I had 10% off.

Monitor turned up on Saturday and it was the A00 version (with 25% jumps on sharpness) :( No matter how many times I asked OcUK for A01, they said they couldnt guarantee anything (which I now take to mean that they dont have any).

I think I can detect a bit of Input Lag, although it's nowhere near as bad as I was expecting after all the comments on this board and others. It is a stunning looking display.

Luckily I seem to have a dodgy pixel right in the middle of the screen, and a scratch (noticed it as soon as I too the protective sheet off the front), so I am going to get it replaced by Dell (I hope). I will a demand a A01. :D

Wish me luck.

Ok.... you have a dead pixel, Dell should sort that, but a scratch? Thats poor QA. Let us know how you get on with Dell plz.
 
Yeah, i hope I have better luck than that when everything arrives tomorrow! i will let you know how I get on and if it is an A01. I doubt it though, I doubt OC have any of these in stock.
 
for a 24inch it is yeah....

don't take my figures as gospel, it's just what i've seen on websites etc

wish I had never looked at forums and just boughta monitor, wouldve probably not noticed input lag ! lol

Hmmm, from reading the dell community forums it seems as if this a01 has an average of around 34ms which is very good I believe. Just now need a guarantee I will get an A01 and need to see some more input lag tests!
Looking hopefull though! :)
 
guys, if it helps i can set up and do an input lag test on mine, but like i say, its against another TFT and not a CRT so it probably wont be as accurate as it could be...

It's not 'very good' (assuming those numbers are correct) but it's a big improvement and it's back to the 2407WFP levels which is more acceptable. Very good would be 16ms (one frame) or less.
 
Just received 2 of the new model 2408WFPb's they are being sold by another seller with a dead pixel guarantee.

They carry a new part number as mentioned on TFT Central they are label 0G286H REV A00 replacing the previous 0CX268 REV A00. Interesting Dell are reworking all factory refurb's 2408WFP with new firmware and sending them out as CX268 REV A01

For new orders they will ship a new model 0G286H I'll be running an input lag shortly once I can find a CRT in our office!
