2408

I received a Refurbished 2408WFPb today with no serial no. and REV: A00.  This is to replace my NEW 2408 that had problems.  This monitor seem to work perfect after some tweaking and calibration with a Spyder 2 Pro.

    Do you have a part number anywhere?

     

    Check the Sharpness setting, if the setting is in multiples of 10 then it's the revised firmware - if it's in multiples of 25 then it's not.

    The 'b' has nothing to do with the new revision.

    Congratulations! You're the first to report receiving a new revision - everyone will be all over you to test it. If you're up for that let them know here - 2408WFP rev A01 is out, but what are the changes?

    I suggest you open a new theard "2408WFP-New Firmwar-Review" and discuss there on the properties of it.

    important question : did you have the 2408 for a long time ?(means-you are aware to all or some of the main problems,which gives you the "eye" to see the changes and improvments)

    tmorris51,

     

    I am curious about one thing in particular, not necessarily related to the new firmware but is the brightness of the screen uniform over the entire area? A lot of people (including me) are having problems with a brighter left side... Any comments regarding this issue on your new monitor version?

    Sorry to say this but left side screen on the refurbished monitor is still brighter.  I now don't have a problem with unit comming on.  Another thing is now is as the longer it is on the more saturation it seems to get.  I am now call Dell and the original is still sitting on the floor waiting for DHL to pick up.  Tired of messing with it and going for a refund and buying a Samsung.  I am a photographer and process a lot of my photo's myself.
