2408WFP Continued
The thread "2408WFP rev A01 is out, but what are the changes?" has gotten too long to manage. I am locking that thread and any new comments should posted here.
Summery
A new firmware version of the 2408 was released. As the monitors work their way through the supply chain it will become more and more likely that you will receive a version A01 monitor when you order new.
For those getting replacements, all refurbished monitors in service stock should have the new firmware. If you get a new exchange there is still a chance it will be A00 but that should diminish over time.
The new firmware addresses:
- Input lag.
- Not coming out of standby with some video cards.
- Changes the Sharpness settings to increments of 10 rather then 25.
Thank you for your patients through all of this, believe me it's been as frustrating for me as it has been for many of you.

If today I buy a 2408WFP in USA can I be sure I will receive a revision A01?
Thanks!

No one can guaranty anything in life, there is always a fluke waiting to happen, but at this point I'd say there is probably a 99.9% chance that if you order in the US you will receive an A01.

Bwaahaaa ha ha ha ha ha...dude you're hilarious. I nearly fell out of my chair!
Then I thought maybe he knows something I don't so I just put my order in for the Gold Plated 2408 Rev A131 for $1.99 with a free XPS 9900X with 500 terabytes of RAM and the 6000 terabyte RAID. I asked for the 32 unit GT 20500 SLI setup with 30 terabytes of RAM, you know the one that that processes at 400 zillion teraflops. They are sending it right out with the free 20 minute delivery guarantee I wanted too!
You were right, you just gotta ask for what you want! :smileyvery-happy: Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

AFAIK, all new 2408 sold in Europe now are A00.
Europe is still waiting for A01.
This has already been escalated via Dell Tech Support by various users in different countries (at least myself in Belgium and gazeroo in UK).
Hope This Help

The factories in Europe started producing A01 monitors about the 3rd week in October, there may and from the previous post most likely are still A00 monitors in the distribution system. There is no way I am aware of the ask for an A01, until the A00's are gone there will be the possibility of getting one.

How do I determine the current firmware on my 2408WFP? I'm experiencing some bleeding on the right side of the display, and the monitor came with a 4 year warranty. I'd just like to make sure I don't already have the Rev A01 firmware, thanks.

I spent a lot of time and effort to check out the 2408WFP. Dell have not taken the community's concerns seriously so I'll be taking my money elsewhere! The problems were clearly highlighted by many people and as a first time buyer I was impressed with their keen desire to stay loyal to Dell and have them sort out the problems. That was over 7 months ago and although Dell have come up with a fix (Rev A01) to the firmware - it's effectively only available in the States! Europe still has loads of dodgy A00 machines in the supply chain and the resellers are bulging with stacks of A00 machines being sold at reduced prices. Dell, you are looking at a PR disaster. I'm off to look at the LG range and won't be troubling this forum again.

Hmm I just ordered yesterday a 2408WFP here in Switzerland. I really hope to get a new revision...
And I just saw that the screen is in the USA for around 520US$ available, while I payed some 760US$ here in Switzerland for the same.
If I would get an old revision, is there some hope to trade it for a new one?
Thanks,
pato
