On your 2405fpw...do you notice at 60hz that the mouse cursor moves a little choppy when in windows? (quickly move it in circular motion; also try moving it slowly) Does 75hz make a difference for you?Quote:

How does it look at 1280x800 in games, could you please post a picture where I can see the quality?
Are there any other major problems with this display or is everything fine? Does it show the BIOS Screen?
Thanks for your inputs....
That is at 1280x800, 16X AF, 6X AA
BIOS screen shows fine without any problems.
My 2405FPW sometimes gets confused and squishes things horizontally when I reboot. It usually fixes itself by the time it gets to Windows (if no drivers are installed).

Could you please write a little feedback how it is to play at that res? Image Quality, sharpness and so on...
thx.
I've still never seen this posted anywhere else except by you :p.Quote:

I'm just curious where you got this info so I can read more on it and possibly do the same since my GTX has DL support.

Im deciding whether to buy the 30" or two 24".
I do more software engineering than graphics design so Im kind of swaying towards the pair of 24". It just seems more practical to me. Althought, the 30" would be amazing for watching my HDTV rips of Lost :P
Anyone have more experience with this kind of thing? Which would benefit me more?
Is this your way of telling us you got a second 30" LCD?
Actually, something else amazing happened... let's see if zoob will post that picture up.
Seeing it in person is craaaazy
They had a one night stand and ended up with twins. Then the Daddy ran off with a younger one.

ooo a binary clock! I wanted one of those :)
Not a shabby setup there man, I am digging it :)
didn't you used to have a million 24" in NY colossus?
No I wish, I own two 24", two 21" and one 21" CRT still. :(
lol at 4chan
BEHEMOTHs... amazing.

Remember one important thing about this monitor before you buy it planning it use the 2560 x 1600 resolution........
You must have a video card that drives Dual-Link DVD-D (Digital) output. Dual-Link is a single cable and connector. Don't confuse Dual Link with Dual output (i.e. 2 DVI connectors). It's just one DVI-D connector. Also make sure it is -D for digital (not -I). DVI-I connectors are analog and not compatible. Research this carefully before buying. It's a thousand dollar monitor.
Otherwise you cannot drive the monitor at 2560 x 1600. You will only be able to get 1280 x 800 in Single-Link DVI mode.
It's really almost like 2 monitors stacked side-by-side. But with one cable and a panoramic view.
This is also true for the Apple Cinema 30 inch HD display when hooked up to a PC.
The Dell is a great monitor for sure.

I'm crazy for Dell monitors apparently.
Since the last post, I swapped my 3007WFP for a 3007WFP-HC. Also picked up another nice piece of hardware to play with:
(copied from another forum)

Next to a 3007WFP-HC, and a 2007FP behind it.
Sorry about the horrid white balance. Three different CFLs make for nasty auto WB.
Subjectively out of the box, the 2209WA is BRIGHT, and is cooler than the WFP-HC (to be expected due to different backlights). I have to set it to zero brightness.
Lag feels the same, looks no worse than my 2007FP S-IPS on first impression.
Text is CRISP on default settings. The DVI cable that comes is rather cute because the connector and cable are both half the size of the DVI-D that I use on the 30".
The base is a step back from the 07 series as I feel like I lose more desk space because it's a solid rectangle now.
I'm liking the all black casing, though it'll show dust far more easily than a silver base.
This isn't it's permanent home.. it'll be off to the other half's setup to replace a eye-straining too-bright 2005FPW.
for sure using 30 inch montors for movies and games is awsome ,
but for desktop work isnt it a bit too large? i mean if ur close u cant focus on the whole area , and will get ur eyes tired after a while?
I never used 30 inch or more for work , but 24 inch is huge enough and some times i have to look (scan) for things on the edges ...
