hvx monitor: Dell 2405FPW $780

30' monitor

30' monitor

Whew! Thanks for that post, I was this close to ordering the 24' monitor!
 
Ya know, I'll probably go with the 2405... it'll probably become even cheaper now.

Where's the latest 2405 coupon!?
 
The 2405 is the perfect resolution for 1080 HD. You're probably better off getting two 24" monitors than one 30", especially for video editing.

Still, I can feel my mouth watering at the thought of the 30" monitor.

Man, this is like porn for us!
 
I just got the Dell 24" and man is it clear. Almost too clear :)

Not much taller than my 19's but WAY wider. I'm going to have to get one more.

Amazing, but mine runs really hot. Anybody else have that problem? I've had it on for about an hour now and it's about five times hotter than my second monitor. Even if I have to get it a fan it will be worth it.
 
I just got my 2405FPW and i'm surprised! Very good lcd indeed.
I just have one question for those who use the 2405FPW with mac.
Is there a way to make the card reeder to work with Mac OS X 10.4.3?
Do i have to do something special. A driver maybe?

Thanks a lot in advance!

My card slot work like a champ on my Mac. I think I'm running 10.4 as well and it's on a dual 2.0 which shouldn't matter.

I don't want to sound like an ass, but did you run the usb extension from the monitor to the computer? I run into low-usb-power problems all the time with my set up.

cheers,

My Dell 2405 have PAL 50 Hz, see the instruction, when you use S-Video or Composite

Thanks a lot insanityfw for your answer. The problem was the memory stick that i tried. It was damaged. I gave it back to it's owner and he told me that it didn't play in the camera too. I just try with another and all ok!

My mistake, i had to try with multiple cards before post.

Thanks a lot again for your answer!
 
I found that the Dell has the ability to display a 720p signal at pixel-for-pixel accurate sizing too. There's three choices for display, either "fill" (where it stretches the image to fill the full screen, or "aspect" (where it stretches the image as large as it can while maintaining the proper aspect ratio) or "1:1" (where it keeps the image pixel-for-pixel accurate). In 1:1 mode, a 720p signal still gives you the equiv. of about a 15" monitor.

I bought two off of ebay for about $830 a piece including shipping. I bought each from a different seller and only from those that had great records. I stayed away from the sellers selling for $700, but then charging $150 for shipping.

The new price from Dell is pretty nice as well, especially if you get free shipping.

In my hummble opinion these monitors are worth it.
 
So, has anyone hooked it up to an HVX yet? This is the monitor I'm buying as a 2nd computer and field monitor/studio jobby job. Do you think it's too heavy to lug on set?
And do you think it could be mounted to a C-stand plate and be pretty study?

I found out this is my birthday present this month so I'm stoked. I asked for the 200 but got laughed at.. Maybe I should plan to extort money out of the folks by telling them .. if you want to see ya grandkids then buy this .... HD thingy.
