What annoys me with my 2405fpw is that when running dvi you can't have vga in a window (PIP) or the other way around. You can only have component and the other inputs in a window. Or have I missed something?

If you've missed something then I have too. ;D

PiP is nice though while I'm waiting for the PS2 to boot.

Anyone know estimate time of avalibility yet?

Aruffell · 16 Jan 2006 at 16:46

All i keep hearing is Feb/March.

Gibbo, can you get on to Dell for some info?

Raymond Lin · 17 Jan 2006 at 02:18

There is a sale at the moment at Dell (which btw, still more expensive than OCUK's prices...figures?) which finishes in Feburary 1st. I reckon they are getting rid of as much stock as they can this month and announce the 2007/2407 in Feburary 1st.

Aruffell · 19 Jan 2006 at 00:02

Hopefully that's the fact as then they can roll out these new ones with a stupid offer

Nixeh · 19 Jan 2006 at 12:37

Wonder what the offer would be like for it. Offer price of say £600 would do nicely

heh think the pick would be better of in the 2405 thread

I reckon the 2007WFP and 2407WFP will be officially announced/launched at CeBIT 9-15 March, but hopefully some details and specs will leak out before then like with the 3007WFP.

Any news on this? I can't wait much longer :/

Aruffell · 5 Feb 2006 at 18:22

Same

Can't find any more info yet.

Just end of this month/beginning of March

I might just buy something else soon

i think this'll drop most of the connections like the 3007 did, and thats part of the "07" naming instead of the "05" naming.

shame really, as the plentitude of connections on the 2405 is awesome!

I just read the latest widescreen lcd shootout on Tom's. And again very negative like his last review, on the use of the 2405 for gaming (too much smearing) and video (noise). I wonder did he even bother to play any games on this screen before he came out with that ? I know half a dozen people and have read more threads on these and other forums about how decent this panel is for gaming and movies. Sure, some peopl have seen a bit of ghosting and its subjective I guess, but Toms basically said just forget about this panel for gaming as smearing as he puts it, is an issue. I think this sites reviews are getting harder and harder to trust all the time, very often even the exact opposite of the conclusions other websites have reached. Anyone share these sentiments ?

THG has not been a good place for any hardware review for a long time.

best of sticking to hardocp, ***** bit-tech and anadtech among others

Well for DVD they are partially right. But even that can be resolved with Nvidias Purevideo software (which is one of the reason Nvidia developed it in the 1st place).

For gaming Toms is talking pure crap. The 2405 is an amazing TFT. I sit 2ft from mine and have zero smearing,tearing,lag,ghosting or any other defect. 1920x1200 is the native res which I game @ as well so would notice if anything was not perfect.

If however Toms were being dumb and not enabling vsync or setting the brightness/colours too high (maybe high digital vibrance) then you could possibly see some issues.

Check out the 2405 screenies in this thread towards the end page ***.

i hope the 3007 wont have any problem

t_aitch · 6 Feb 2006 at 15:53

Ive got mine setup and i have no problems, but this is the wrong thread, theres an official 3007 thread.

Aruffell · 14 Feb 2006 at 00:42

Bump.

Anyone heard any info, anything at all? Fact or speculation.

The 1707 and 1907 are out/coming out(no they are not gay) so the 24007 and 2407 shouldnt be too long.
