I'm glad to see this issue hasn't faded from everyone else's mind. I still hold out a shred of hope of this being fixed.
I see it as one of two things - either the way some people's brains are wired or of the monitor itself. Or both. Either way, over time the problem seems to fade away over...
You think I--WE haven't done any searching for this? It's completely undocumented outside of message boards like this. Of course, Dell won't even acknowledge that there's a hardware problem. (see http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=dim_monitor&message.id=47675 for...

I found a thread right on Dell's very boards. However, it's poorly moderated and how ever would...

At this point I'm unsure whether it's a matter of people's perception or of the display's hardware. I'm thinking the latter, because some people claim it's gaming perfection when for me, it certainly is...
Thanks for the input. :) I've seen that other thread and it's yet to resolve any problems, unfortunately
I got one of those Xbox HD cable things, and although the games are ugly (I don't have any that are720p or greater) it is very cool. Component seems to work very well.
HOWEVER, there is...
After what seems like ages, I finally received the Dell 2405FPW LCD monitor. Short story - it's fantastic. Except for one thing: substantial input lag. It makes games basically impossible to play, from half life 2 to super nintendo. It relates to devices like mice, keyboards, and controllers...
