    planning to buy 24" WIDE LCD FROM DELL

    Hey Goobi, congratulations! Welcome to the 24 Club! Is it an A02 also? And sorry about the non-review... I had my weekly offs on Tuesday and Wednesday and had planned to write a detailed review but somehow the time passed very quickly playing COD2 and watching movies on the 2407! I'm sure u...

    planning to buy 24" WIDE LCD FROM DELL

    As far as I can make out from the posts, you ordered the monitor on the 29th. I had ordered on the 22nd and got it on the 16th. So by that logic, you'll probably get it by the 23rd. However, my Order was only created on the 1st... so if your's was made at about the same time then the monitor...

    planning to buy 24" WIDE LCD FROM DELL

    Hi, sorry about reviving an old thread but I just wanted to mention - I got my 2407 today! arrived in the morning but I haven't had enough time to check it out completely. Just set it up alongside my CRT and it looks awesome. No dead pixels out of the box and minimal banding in Desktop mode...

    planning to buy 24" WIDE LCD FROM DELL

    the pics look awesome, widey! i wonder if my 6800gs will be able to cope, though. I may have to scale the res down a bit for newer games. anyway.. even though the banding is visible, i don't think its something that would bother most of us. Just wanted to confirm again.. were these pics taken...

    planning to buy 24" WIDE LCD FROM DELL

    Mine is in "customs clearance" as well... it's expected around the 15th or so. It'll probably turn out to be an A02 as well. Hey, widescreen.. how bad is the vertical banding? did you do a gradient test to see it or was it noticeable during regular usage? Also try and post a few pix to...

    Which is the best game you have ever played ?????

    In recent games, Max Payne 1 and COD 1 have probably been the most fun games I've played... but the game which I've played the MOST is Civilization 2. Literally used to spend weeks just playing that game and sleeping and eating intermittently. God, those were the days!

    Gaming keyboards and mice

    I don't think I would go with a wireless mouse. Even if there is no delay/lag anymore, I don't think the wirelessness would offer much advantage to me as I'll always be at the comp table whenever I game. Also the hassle of charging the batteries is not something I want. As far as the MX518 is...

    Gaming keyboards and mice

    hmmm... $73.. that is quite a difference... I like the idea of being able to change the weight of the mouse to suit personal preferences and ofcourse the 2000dpi will help as well... might just go for this mouse then. trust me, i've ordered plenty parts from the US - in my current rig, the...

    Gaming keyboards and mice

Now, my mom's in the US at the moment and will be there till the 16th and I had been planning to ask her to buy a few choice computer parts from...

    Re: Need For Speed: Carbon, next in the NFS Series the NFS series has recently followed whatever new rage is depicted in the Fast and the Furious series of movies.. with Tokyo Drift concentrating on the Japanese drift action, it was obvious that the next NFS would follow suit. the...

    Ah! found the link about the guy in Japan who received an A03 2407 - *forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=dim_monitor&message.id=63795 Seems like the banding may be gone but he's facing more serious issues... the monitor seems to be blanking out randomly! Yikes...

    Dell Latitude D520

    that same config is actually listed in Dell's India June catalog but with a price of Rs.60,204 cut down from Rs.78,000. If you call them you you may be able to get the price one or two thou lower but it will never reach 48 grand. Also, not sure what use you want to put the laptop to but the...

    Dell's Customer Service..? Any experience?

    hi goobi, i work for Dell US tech support and i believe the India return policies are pretty much the same as US return policies... incase the monitor fails within the warranty. a new piece will be sent to you and you will need to return the defective piece back in the new ones packaging within...
