Looking at OC Forums for the first time with my New Toy!!! 24" Dell Monitor

[dana0550]

It is wayyyy bigger than I thought.....


The resolution is amazing. Time to go play some games on it.

If you guys or girls had any questions about it and are thinking about purchasing it feel free to ask me...

Peace

oh cool, here's a resolution test for you :D

[PerlAddict]

You'll never regret it. :) I'd trade my computer before I'd trade this monitor, even with nothing to plug into it. lol.

[jivetrky]

I'll second that thought...If i ever needed money...I'd sell my PC before the 2405. I LOVE IT.

LMfaohahaHow bout some colors too, eh?Some red?!Nayv!

i friggin love my 2405 -

it was my first widescreen lcd, and combined with the gigantic size when I pulled it out of the box i started laughing! it was soo much bigger than i expected, lol.

anyone who comes by my office and sees it is like.... um... wtf is that?! :-)

[jivetrky]

yep...that sounds about like what happened with me...I started laughing and saying "Ho-Ly crap"

yeah everyone that sees it is just amazed. And in fact I think either my mom or my aunt said "wtf is that?" :)

[dfonda]

Congrats! Dana
Welcome to the club LOL

[dana0550]

The same thing happened to me too...

I started Laughing when I saw the size of the monitor.

I remember when I got mine, it felt like christmas. I try not to cheat on my 2405 by lookin at that 30" but she is quite a looker. :( I try to be faithful.

had mine for a few weeks now. At first, it was WAY too big for me....but now, 20" is this wayyyyyy tooooo small to do anything :( so im kinda screwed on like every other comp i use!!! hahah but ill live i think :)

gaming on it is amazing!!! no ghosting that i can see from fps or driving games, and even though godfather only plays at 1680 and has horrendous controls, im getting used to it.

Oh boy, I can't even imagine 24wide. I'll just have to be content with the 2005fpw....some day perhaps.

[jivetrky]

I've kind of gotten used to the size now...and been desensitized.
But.... we recently moved to a new house and we dno't yet have curtains up in the living room. Well I was driving up to the house and I could see the monitor FROM THE ROAD! it looked like a television from the road :)

I think part of the reason for me being desensitized is that it is in a desk with a hutch on top....so the monitor is "in" a compartment of the desk...and maybe it makes it loko smaller..at least that's all I can figure.

But I still LOVE IT!

[ajrettke]

Yeah, I had a 2005 and I was shell shocked when I pulled my 2405 out of the box!

Man it's almost been a year since I've had mine...still seems new to me though it's awesome!

I've been debating whether or not to add a second 2001 for 3 montiors or go with the 3007....that's the question!

[jivetrky]

Might look neat with them side by side by side

2001 - 2405 - 3007

[Albaholic]

that would be some serious cash to drop though. with the 2405 priced at 800 now its hard not to want a 2nd one

[ScoobaMikey]

I want a 2407 with hdcp!!! grrr...hurry up dell

[kayson]

Let's see some pics man!
