has anyone bought this widescreen display? it really catches my eye for response time, nit rate and resolution.

it's huge and i want this monitor above for room reasons.

I recommend checking out the review forum

And this should be in the hardware forum.

yes i read it and i liked it, but i want an honest opinion from people here who have it since it's my first widescreen pc monitor i have ever had.. 899 canadian is a lot of money that's all.

1600 aus for it over here.
i have one, and tho it cant handle some of the deep blacks/greys (only got one game where this has happened to me though) it is a superb monitori just cant speak highly enough of it. i suggest getting the multimedia pack also (the speaker bar etc) as the speaker is of suprisingly high quality as is the sound it produces

Costco.ca has it at 849$ and they had a coupon of 80$ off last week( so 769$). I got one and still waiting for it. Wait for lower prices Dell.ca regularly lowers it at 799$.

Hi Dead Guy
I have the Dell 2407fpw(AO2) , I've had it for 2 1/2 months or thereabouts , I gotta say I can't really fault it , I play lots of different games from fps to rts to racing games and they ALL look fabulous , DVD playback is top notch , I have had none of the banding issues people have mentioned before.
I came from one of the best CRT monitors on the market , an IIyama 22" Visionmaster pro 513 and it is worlds ahead of that in image quality , the clarity of text is also excellent.
Hmm just sat here for a couple of minutes trying to think of something negative to say about it and the only thing I can think of is you will need a powerful PC to make FULL use of it , when I got mine I was running an A64 3200+ @ 2.6ghz and a very much oclocked 7800GT and to be quite honest it wasnt powerful enough for the most modern games at 1900x1200 with ALL the eye candy on (AA was an absolute NoNo for most new games)
I recently upgraded to an X2 4800+ @2.85ghz and an 8800GTX and now I can play everything as it should be at native res.(with AA(alot of AA
:D )

Hope that helps ya somewhat :wink:
