The word "Canuck" is in no way at all offensive. It's the way Kyle used the word in his statement, implying that Canuck promises are as good as Tom Pabst's word: ie. implying that we're liars.

I was wholeheartedly supporting Kyle on his comment about ATi until he mentioned the part about "Canuck promises". Kyle, I've been a fan of your site for over half a decade and after reading that post from you, it made me lose a whole lot of respect for you. I've been walking proud and about...

Why are you ordering it from www.dell.com? Go to www.dell.ca It's regular price is selling for $1399 canadian. With a little time and effort you can find a 15% off coupon which will drop the price to just under $1200 canadian.

DVI allows you to use all sorts of resolutions including HD resolutions and beyond. The HDMI specification is set to support *only* HD resolutions (i.e. 480i, 480p, 720i, 720p,1080i). This means that you're gonna have to set your computer resolution to either 640x480, 1280x720, or 1920x1080 in...

Yes, it uses standard power cable. I didn't even use the original one provided by Dell.

Yep, mine was manufactured in April and it's also version 1.8 with same whining sound.

Mine only buzzes when the monitor is off (ie. not in power savings/stand-by mode). I have a question for all you fellow 2405FPW owners... Does your monitor buzz when: 1. it's on? 2. in stand-by mode? 3. completely off (with power cable still connected)? 4. buzzes in all of the above...

NEC all the way. Put the NEC beside the Samsung and it's no comparison. The Samsung cannot even come close to reproducing the pure rich colours that the NEC can reproduce. This particular Samsung monitor uses Dynaflat technology which is an el-cheapo form of flat aperature grille so stay away...

1.8 April

Thx TehQuick, I figured it out. :)

Can you please tell me how the aspects settings? When I go into image settings, everything is all greyed out and I can't choose the aspect settings. I'm using DVI right now. Does this option work only via VGA connection? Thanks.

Nope, no flickering here...

Learn how to use the quote feature properly as you misquoted me. Telling him about Dell's 8 pixel policy is not a solution as he clearly stated that he has 1 dead pixel. I said "POSSIBLE backlight issues"... Webster's dictionary defines the word "possible" as follows: or Therefore, I did...

Uh.., first of all I knew you were joking, but those guys weren't joking.. :rolleyes: Second of all I WAS not upset, until I saw your post. What did I say made you think I was upset? Third of all, I'm not asking him to commit fraud, I dunno how it works in Japan, but Dell Canada does have a...

All these people saying "just deal with it" must just be jealous about the fact that they don't own a 2405FP... When you spend over $1000, some people cannot afford to expect flaws like that.. especially when the dead pixel is close to the center of the screen. If the dead pixel is really...
