Where'd you get it for that price then? Dell's asking $2,200 CAD before taxes! I'd totally nab one for $1,600.

Dell.ca usually has "10 days of deals" every couple of months. For one day only, the 24" and 30" monitors are on sale. Near X-mas last year there was a sale and the middle of Jan had another sale.
24" was $900CAN
30" was $1600CAN
Keep any eye out at www.redflagdeals.com (go to forums) to see when the deals occur.

theres supposedly input lag on the 2405
also the native resolution of the 2405 doesnt allow you to really take advantage of a lower non-interpolated resolution... you either need a monster video card to run the latest games or just deal with interpolation/borders
the 30" however can run in 1280x800 without interpolation... imho a pefect gaming rees for the balance between iq and speed

I agree with you on all counts, especially the last part! Running @1280x768, max detail, 4xAA/8xAF (or 2xAA/4xAF for certain games) looks pretty good. If I had a more powerful card, I'd prolly up the eye candy even more.....

I haven't noticed any of the input lag personally, and I'm coming from a Diamondtron 22" which is one of the better CRT's. Maybe only a handful of 2405's have this bug?
And yeah I can see how 1920x1200 might be a bit much for some people to run confortably. I'm sure I'll run into that problem as well someday, but luckily enough my 7800 GTX performs well in enough in all the games I play at that res.

Well, obviously you haven't tried FEAR.....@1920x1200, it'll bring your GTX to its knees.

I never bought FEAR, but I played the demo and my GTX did a good job running it smoothly @ 1920x1200...I even put up some cool Fraps videos when the demo came out . But thats not saying much, for all I know they changed alot for the retail release of FEAR.
But thats another topic, grats on your new monitor. Honestly I think it would be too big for comfortable gaming, hell my eyes already have to do alot of wandering side to side to get the whole view of my 2405 in FPS games, can't imagine how it would be on a 30" screen.

It plays just fine. A little stuttery if you only have 1gb of ram. I can even maintain over 25fps with 2xAA/16xAF enabled at 1920x1200. Thats on an X1800XT.

Whoa! Thanks for the sidebyside pc Zoob. Is that a binary clock I see?
Yup, I've read about the input lag as well. They said it's probably due to the overdrive circuit (to speed up response times of MVA/PVA panels) Increasing the refresh rate to 100hz has been a consistent solution to fool the overdrive but this may put your monitor at risk. (max rate is 60hz) At first I noticed the lag a little in CS but now I don't even notice it at all. (must have gotten used to it)
One thing I find is at 60hz, the mouse cursor is a little chopping when moving it around on the windows desktop. (in comparision to my CRT at 100hz)
