Man, its a sad day today. Im afraid I need to part with my beloved Dell 2405FPW for finacial reasons that i'd rather not go into. Lets just say a new girlfriend changes your priorties in life *In my case, for the better*
NOTHING about this monitor wants to me to get rid of it. I love EVERYTHING about the monitor for my uses. However, I do feel however this is somewhat for the best as I cannot afford finacialy now that im on my own to keep upgrading my machine to keep feeding this sucker at 1920x1200 resolution and the fact that i've had to already decrease settings and or resolution in FEAR and Quake 4 upset me greatly already. Eye candy is no good if its a slideshow.
Don't get me wrong at all, the monitor doesn lower rez's fairly well, but im just to personally picky to not be able to run native rez all the time cause it does look comparablly better and there have been times when I think its a bit TOO much monitor. I jumped the gun, hit the bandwagon and enjoyed the ride but unfortuantly, i've gotten the reality check that i'm still paying off this thing on my credit card and its hurting me finacially. I'd rather just crank up AA and cut my losses then trying to justify spending $500 every 6 months on a new card to feed a LCD screen. *Again, girlfriend priority*
With that, i'll be posting this in the For Sale thread tonight with my terms and conditions, its first come first serve. I"ll be replacing the monitor with a ViewSonic VP930b. Seems have everything I want and i'll have much more breathing room with my hardware and not need to keep shelling out the dough that I feel i'd would have to with the 2405.
Maybe someday i'll have the disposable income to buy stuff like this and feed it whatever hardware it requires. Sadly, I have to play it safe and budget wise.
