I want! Gimme!

 

[Kaido]

Don't forget that there's free shipping - "Shipping & Handling included" 🙂

Here are some more detailed specs.
I can't find the PDF spec sheet on this monitor like the 2007fpw has. That is the only place that mentioned HDCP capabilities on the 2007, would anyone know if this is confirmed to have HDCP via the DVI port?

 

[LeiZaK]

Someone send me one of these.

 

[zephyrprime]

Awesome! Now all I need is $799.99.

 

[firebyyrd]

with that price.. why don't you just get two 19" monitors. =/ ]

but its still a good deal for 24"

 

[ty1er]

what are the advantages between the 2405 and this one, the 2407?

Just out of curiosity.

It is HDCP compliant. I'm perfectly happy with my 2405fpw for now.

Either way this is a great deal considering Costco's return policy.

Exactly what I was thinking. Return in 2 years or so for a upgrade to something better. :evil:

Are we sure that their return policy applies here, ive heard that PCs and components were explicitly excluded as part of the policy. Pleas advise, im so itching to get one right now.

Actually for that price you could get two 20" LCDs and in some cases 3 19". However, for some the ability to view 1920x1080 content without scaling is something they'd like to have, as is having a single very large monitor versus multiple smaller ones.

 

[Acanthus]

This is a hot deal because of their stellar return policy.

The backlight issues are supposed to be horrible on a number of them.

 

[kki000]

Well just ordered, thnx op!

The mult monitor comparison is silly... does 2x 27in tv beat a 42in widescreen? Hells no.

 

[darkavenger626]

wow 6ms gray to gray response time thats pretty good... i know with my 2405fpw there is some ghosting in certain games (really annoying)

 

[mrrman]

have these been lower on Dells' website with the stacking coupon routine?? curious

the computer monitors do not fall under the 'computer' warranty of 6 months
the unlimited warranty would apply in this case

now if i can only put my 2405 into the 2407 box and return it ill be set lol

 

[Corporate Thug]

this is flaming hot (considering the warrenty)

Dell had a 25% off coupon from their $950 price = $712.50 plus shipping and tax. That offered expired June 6. So the Costco price (with shipping included) is a tad more but Costco has a better and more convenient return policy.

Loving the 2005FPW...but want more 1920 pixels wide!

 

[weepul]

you dont want the 2407 over the 2405. there's been color/band issues on the 2407.

That's what I was thinking, is the 2407 as good as the 2405..


I know that the 20" 2007 is vastly inferior to the 20" 2005.

 

[fightinfilipino]

does anyone know if the 2407 is compatible (will display at full resolution) with the GeForce 6800 128mb cards? my initial impression is that they won't display correctly, but i could be wrong...

It should be fine, through either VGA or DVI (I'd recommend DVI though). It won't be powerful enough to really push games at that resolution, but it won't have any problems just displaying it.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

You don't want either monitor. They all suck in terms of image quality. If you think Dell's monitors are actually good, you need to get your eyes checked. Either that or you have never used a truly GOOD panel.
