Dell 2407WFP-HC

Dell 2407WFP-HCI bought myself the new Dell 2407WFP-HC, a 24" widescreen monitor with a native resolution of 1920×1200 - 120 pixels more than a 1080p HD video has :D

The extra 5 inches make a pretty big difference in pretty much everything - working, chatting or browsing web pages :D

Gaming at 1920×1200 is also a big change, once I had configured the games to run at that resolution - newer games, such as Command and Conquer 3 and Counter-Strike: Source were easy, you just select the resolution in a dropdown list. In others, such as Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam, it takes a bit of config file editing - but once that’s done, it works really well. Being able to see further to the left and the right helps a bit too :)

If I had the money, I’d definitely buy another one, but I’m saving for my new PC and about to buy an iPod Touch, so I won’t be getting another one for quite a while.

If you’re looking for a new monitor, and can stretch to the price for this one, I highly recommend it!

    Very nice. :grin: I saw one in PC World (don’t ask :mrgreen: ) a few weeks back and they’re pretty nice.

    Two quick questions: 1) does it have HDCP?, and 2) what inputs does it have?
