hvx monitor: Dell 2405FPW $780

Just got it!. Or at least the family - as I am currently in Brazil on business. They love it! Now I only need to wait for the PAL version of the HVX200 :(
 
Are Dell monitors only available via internet? I can not find any dealer, store nor the importer in The Netherlands ??? Does anyone have the address/tel nr. of Dell in The Netherlands ???
 
I use it with DVI interface and have no problems with my Premier Pro 1,5. It have replaced my 19" flat CRT
 
Tom's Hardware is a cool site, but video applications aren't really their specialty. They don't state how they were feeding the signal to the monitor (composite/component) or how the image was being displayed (scaled/unscaled.) I find the monitor does a poor job with a composite signal and any scaling. With an unscaled component signal, the 2405FPW looks pretty good. It all depends on how you plan to use it, but I'd love to buy a second one.

Ah -- well, yes, that's a great point. I haven't tried feeding it any external signal. The HDTV signal is coming through DVI-I to the Dell, so it's a direct digital connection. I haven't tried an analog connection...
 
Holy crap, I convinced my boss to get one of these monitors and we just got it today. It's freakin amazing!!!! I need one now. Question for you gurus, I want one specifically for my HVX, so should I wait until after January or should I swoop one of these now for this great price. Tough decision. I don't even think they have any more coupons anyhow.
 
Well, money *is* an issue, and I went with the Dell. It's a steal at under $800 for such a massive, native 1920 monitor.

As far as "swooping down now" -- electronics prices go down, not up. It should be no more expensive two months from now; unless they replace it with something better perhaps. I wouldn't buy it before you need it.
 
price is already low. compare it to other monitors...you save 100's of $$$...good chance it'll get lower on black friday...

Okay, So I jumped on the bandwagon, used the coupon, and got one of these babies today. Now I have to figure out how and where I'm going to use it. Yes, I leaped before I looked, so now I need some help to land on my feet...

Does anyone know if:

a) This will work on a (relatively) new Mac G5 (dual 2.3s) with an ATI Radeon 9650? I have an ADC to DVI adaptor for an older 22" Apple Cinema Display. Will I need it?

b) If I'm going to attach it to a PC, what's a good/compatible card to drive it?

c) Are there any coupons/deals on compatible graphics cards out there?

Thanks in advance.
 
Yes, as in, "Yes, and without the adaptor"?

If so, I'm feeling a whole lot smarter right about now. What next, a low-cost high performance graphics card for a PC on sale now?
