Hey dctokyo

I think your issue with your LCD turning off is due to your PC not the LCD. Just becuase you use your 19" LCD and dont get issues doesnt mean your PC is ok. remember 19" LCD does only 1280*1024 but 24" does 1920*1200, so there is a significant difference in processing and gpu and resource requirements for such a higher resolution. please tell us your full system specifications including your power supply. also are you plugging the LCD into its own power plug from the wall? not from a 4-pack power adapter. does your video card support 1920&1200? is it DVI compliant? have you tried plugging your LCD into the other DVI port if you have 2 of them. does this problem occur on VGA also??

Or have you tried the monitors you keep getting on any other computers? When three or however many monitors go bad in a row in the same way it makes me think the problem might be specific to you somehow.

AssyrianKing & icjefferys    thanks for your input here.  

 

If you read my earlier posts you would read that my first 2407 A02 had no problems with the monitor turning off. The A02 problem was with dead pixels.  So Dell send me a new monitor (A03)for this one but the new one that was to replaced my A02 kept turning off after about 10 minutes or if I open some web-sties.  Now here is the part in which I know it is not my computer, at this time I still have the A02 because Dell had not pick it up yet, so I replaced the A03 that had the power turning back to the A02 and everything WAS FINE, except for the dead pixels on the A02. So please tell me why the A02 ran with no power problems but once I went back to the A03 it kept turning off? All of the settings were the same.

As I said the second 2407-A03 would shut-down if I open web-sties that had a lot of pictures and it would shutdown if I tried to run BF2, now if I did not do any of these things it would stay on……………Now the third one that was to replaced the 2nd one would only run for about 3 to 5 minutes before turning off, it would not stay on long enough even to start Bf2. After it powered-off I could not turn it back on with the power button, the only way was to unplug the cord and plug it back in.

 

As for my full system specifications including your power supply:

 

Pentium 4 (LGA775) 640 3.20GHz

DDR2 PC4300-1GB(DDR533) X 4

Abit/ Fatal1ty AA8XE

Hiper Type-R 580W power supply

ASUS EAX1800XT TOP/2DHTV/512M  ( I am sure that this card will run the Dell at 1900 X 1200)

I just bought in UK the 2407 A02, did not know about any of these problems as read on here. Only thing ive noticed it runs great on nvidia 7950 and duel amd chip 4200. Cant access pip its disabled also cant adjust sharpness its set at 50, apart from that its running really well could just do with a few tweaks to get it running at top specks in HD

All,

The only changes made to the 2407WFP A03 were language fixes in the OSD (On Screen Display).

Eheeheeh it's getting over better ;) Maybe A04 add a new color to 2407 menu ;) I think i'm gonna buy this monitor in the year 2008 by the A09 revision. No comments.

One more thing... ChrisM , haven't you asked them why banding problems aren't corrected? Maybe cause it's a fixed defect ah? Maybe a new monitor 2409 or something like that with another panel corrects the problem. I wonder if DELL thinks in the hundred's people who's buying a defective product, or maybe not... I call this "EASY MONEY" ;)

BenQ FP241W 24" LCD Rulezzzzzz...

How could this be when several folks report the banding issue be fixed? Some of the guys who report this have both an A02 and A03 on their desktops and photographs of both screens.

That is because some customers either have some eye sight problems, and cannot see the banding problem, or they did not do the banding test, were not looking for it, the display setting was not set to the right color or programs to see the banding.... OR they got lucky

It is true that some customers do not know how to look for banding but I do.
I only use the DVI connection.

Therefore,
1) my eyes are 20/20 (I pass an eye examiner test last month).
2) I can easily see the banding problem on the A02 using a common banding test.
3) I do not see any banding on the A03 and 2005FPW using the same common banding test
   The following picture compares vertical banding on the A02 (left) vs A03 (right) : http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?userid=169814&cdate=20060828&ctime=140357.  I think that the results speak for themselves.
4) Luck?  So, for some mysterious reasons this monitor would be deffective 99% of the time?  Well, I should think to put my monitor on eBay.  It may worth a fortune.  A true collector item!

you cant even set the contrast lvl on 2007/2407wfp using DVI !!!!!

I think the banding is always (for whatever defective half fixed reason)there but if u adjust the contrast you can reduce it some but you can not even do the most needed SIMPLE adjustment on the junk

only a blind r......d noob ( brn for short) would be happy with a 2007/2407wfp, anyone who agrues with that is a brn :P oh yer unless your one of the lucky ones who just happens to get a good display yer yer lol whateva, maybe its like a 1000/1 chance u might get a good one but i think they are all duds, the 1000/1 contrast spec is actually the bad to good panel ratio that dell now use ? :P

Dell you will loose your enthusiast market soon i feel, brn's dont tend to complain too much im sure you will not go out of business coz of this as there are brn's abundant in this world. but im not one and please dont treat us all as brn's

id like to see dell release a a04 fix that works, i wont be buying a dell but i feel for all the dell 2007/2407wfp owners out there, you guys need to keep the preasure up on dell to get what you rightly deserve and what you paid for.

Thanks

PS. that 24" benq is looking sexier by the minute to me now :D
