Dell 2405FPW - Anyone got one on order? *56k beware*

Sold mine a couple of months ago, no regrets tbh :) Nice monitor, but still too much money to spend on a screen! (Even at the price it was before the hike)

Ok guys, here it is on my desk

all the HD content is 1080i and speakers are Logitech Z680 which give the idea of size.

Could a mod change post title to have a pic warning for 56kers please?

Nice screen, looks just like mine ;)

Added 56k title...

Matt.

If anyone's interested in buying a 2405fpw, I'm selling mine. As I don't think I've got 50 posts here, I can't advertise stuff on hexus yet, so I've posted this up on overclockers:-

Apologies if I'm not allowed to link to something I'm selling - please take it down if it's against forum rules.

Cheers! :rockon:

Although you cant view the FS section of *that* site unless your registered (and maybe have # number of posts too?)

How does the 2005FPW compare height wise (screen) to the 2405FPW?

I currently have the 2405FPW and was looking to get another monitor to plug into my Shuttle which is to become a Linux/Media PC (so eventually Ill be watching Sky on it). I had debated about getting another 2405FPW but Im thinking a 2005FPW would probably be more appropriate... but I don't want it to look too out of place next to the 24 :(

i got mine as a business cutomer with 20% off promotion in total i paid only 547 quid, and i recived it within 5 working days i just saw the prices gone up to 1200quid

i use to own a 2005fpw then returned it due to light leakage issues so i bought the 2405fpw instead, the 2405fpw is much much bigger so yeah it will look out of place if ur putting it beside each other.

Whoa man that looks the bizzle - I paid around £500 for my 2005FPW back in the day :mad: :mad: man thats gay

The pics look a bit compressed, almost looks the same as the 2001 sitting on the end of my desk except for the A4 pic.
That`s what the wife wanted hers for (more likely just cos I had 2 Dells) as she does page editing and the screen going A4 is perfect for compositing.
I also like the extra real estate for the pic by pic. The 2005 just wasn`t quite big enough.

Actually, it doesn't look too bad. I think I made the right choice, although I've already had to return the first one I got due to backlight issues/dead pixels :mad:

I sold mine around a month after I got it :) Now I know it was a wise choice because I'm still in Uni accomodation, and when I move out, I wouldn't be able to fit the monitor in its box AND all my other stuff in the car!!!!
