2408wfp

Not aware of a work around but I agree that it would be really useful if I could have an HDMI and DVI or 2 DVI inputs on screen together though what I really would find useful is the facility for each digital input to have it's own settings so I didn't have to keep altering things.

Hi there. Wondering if you can help me with something - I'm seriously considering buying the 2408WFP but I have one concern: the depth.

The product specs claim the unit is around 8" deep, which seems insane. I'm thinking this might be referring to the box???

I want to hang this on my wall and use it as a digital picture frame (I'll be connecting it to a PC / hiding the VGA cable behind the wall) but if it's 8" deep, it'll look like I've hung a large box on my wall.

Can you tell me how deep this thing actually is?? (not including the stand)

Cheers

The 8" number is with the stand.  The monitor by itself is only about 3" before the stand unit is attached.

Hi,

Is your monitor a A01 revision?

Does your monitor have a brighter left side problem?

I had an A00 with that problem and was wondering if it still exists in current rev.

If you look at this website: www.hardforum.com

Does the left side seem brighter than the rest of the monitor?  It's about a 2 inch lighter band in from the left side.

Especially noticable on dark grey background.

Hi, iam new to this and unable to creat my own thread. So the only way to post is to reply to your therad.

My questions of topic, but i would like to no if dell computers, mainly (dell studio hybrid) will work with any type of wireless network card bought of the shelf from retailers like pc world or are they vender specific?

thanks?

the wireless network card should work,,,get a usb one, and you will need an wireless router that is compatible with it.....

Is A01 that latest revision? and is this the version currently shipped by Dell?

Does the A01 revision still have the problem in the A00 and captured on this forum?

I am contemplating buying a 2408WFP and some of the positings very concerning and is thinking of an alternative monitor (Samsung T240HD) instead. Any input/advise is welcome. Thanks.

I'm in the same boat as you are. There are some rave reviews, and some flat out rants about the 2408WFP. I'm hoping to find one locally that I can take a look at before springing for it. 

The Samsung monitor you mention, however, is different than the Dell in that it has a lower quality TN LCD panel, versus the 2408WFP's S-PVA panel.

agree , some of the reviews are great, others not so...what gets me,,,i read one review, stated it was a great gaming lcd, another said it was not made for gaming, and office use only...will find out,,,mine is suppose to ship around the 28th..

my 2400wfp shipped monday, will get it on friday, the 28th.....fedx ground

i finally got mine, and am very pleased with it...lots of settings, still don,t have them all figured out...text looks great. going to fun surfing with all this real-estate....you can tell this monitor does not have the lowly TN panel in it.....tn panels are okay if you don,t have a ton of $, i don,t..but will not look everyday at a tn panel.....no dead pixels....my 2 cents so far- nice.
