hvx monitor: Dell 2405FPW $780

I have th Apple 23" at work, and the Dell 24" at home.
I like my Dell better.
That extra inch is really noticed.

Plus it's less expensive and has a better warranty.
I also love having my PC and my G5 plugged into it at the same time and toggling between the two.

How dos SD look played back on it? Either from component or composite. Most HD LCD TVs look like utter **** playing back SD. So I may get a refurb Sony HD CRT monitor if it doesn't do good SD.
 
I really want to buy this too, but I'm concerned on how it looks with and HD signal using the component inputs?

I want to use this thing on location. I realize it's not considered a pro monitor.

I read the same article that delaro mentioned. Maybe it was defective? Kind of like what Barry is going through with the HD100.. LOL

My question is how does it look using a 1080i signal to the component inputs?
Also, how does it look using a 720P signal to the component inputs?

thanxs, Steve
 
Gee everyone's ordering it and I can't make the stupid coupon work... won't go lower than $959 for me :undecided
 
I've purchased 4 24" Dell's over the last 3 months, and they are great computer monitors. No bad pixels and the extra inputs are a big plus over the Apple Cinema Displays. HD 720/1080i looks good, I was disappointed with the SD upscaling, but it doesn't really matter for my use.

As far as color correction goes, it depends on the level of your projects. My HD CRT monitor is vastly superior to my Blackmagic HD Link/Dell2405 combo in evaluating color.
 
Lightshow,

Just curious, how do you view HD on your monitor?
Did you purchase an extra HD input card?

I have the Sony PVM-14L5 monitor as well, and was wondering what my options were for viewing HD on it.

? The PVM-14L5 isn't a high-def CRT, it's standard-def. It can have an option board installed to let it take high-def signals, but it's not capable of fully resolving the high-def image... is it? Sony classifies it as an NTSC/PAL monitor, not a high-def...
