Got mine and I love it. I cannot provide fancy calibration numbers and such, but it exceeds my expecations. Thank you to LOLANG and the Dell rep who helped me out on the early discount. I also want to thank 10e for obvious reasons. (As an aside, why isn't oled banned yet? He brings nothing of...

A bit OT, perhaps, but when does Dell's 100% satisfaction period kick in? When they ship it, or when it's delivered? The reason I ask is that mine is supposed to be here on Monday, but I live directly in the path of hurricane Irene and delivery may be delayed for a while depending on how bad the...

Adding my thanks to LOLANG. I just ordered one from his contact at Dell and got the nice discount. Fingers crossed (and not really expecting it to be here in a week lol).

When the U2412M was announced I was thrilled because I had all but given up hope that any new 16:10 monitors fitting my price-performance criteria would ever be released by anybody. I was afraid that 16:10 was on its way to extinction. 10e, I want to join those thanking you for your...

your normal drivel I think I had a corsair power supply once. It was good.

Blame idiots, not XP. I've been running XP since it came out and have NEVER run any anti-virus software on it. I have NEVER been infected by any virus, trojan, bot zombie or any other kind of malware. The one time my computer slowed way down last year turned out to be a hard drive hardware...

I'm in the same boat. There's a new Fujitsu 24" 16:10 IPS monitor that's just been announced. As far as I can tell, there are no reviews of it yet. The linked article claims it uses the same panel as the ZR24W.

Because EVE is dying.

Is this urban legend still making the rounds? Don't look now but there are many flavors of DRM that haven't been cracked. What comes out of your cable box over firewire, recent bluray discs, the whole Vista protected content path, satellite TV in its latest incarnations. Too many people...

It's very simple, really. Vista = Windows ME II

Taking things to their logical conclusion ;) if you aren't $$$ constrained, you could pick up a new case + power supply for about $150 (plus or minus 50) and set yourself up for future upgrades without the Dell proprietary hassle.

On the low-tech side here... I don't know for sure about the Gen4, but Dell has been known to have non-standard motherboard mounting holes, connector placement and cable harnesses on some of their motherboards. You might want to double-check that everything is going to physically line up with...

Prices are not rising yet. The low point for prices is expected to come some time in May according to analysts who base their predictions on reports and statements by Micron and Hynix, among others. A month from now the deals will be better than they are today. After that prices will probably...
