You can thank me for this.
I just bought two of the 2405FPWs, so its obvious that the price would come down
I got them for almost the same price, but on eBay, rather than direct (so warrantee is potentially suspect)

Yeah, they're often in the $450 range, but I can't remember seeing them below $400 before. And with $2.60 for shipping, I was sold.Originally posted by ClaymonkeyGigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw.

They're nice, but I hear about issues with the widescreens for gaming.Comment

I have 2 of the 20" ones from a sale they had in Canada (that was brought to my attention here).
They're truly great.
If the 24" model comes on sale up here, I'll have to consider it.P.S. You've been Spanked!Comment

Well, I don't need to win the lottery, but today isn't the best day for this.
I'll grab one the next time around. Judging by the frequency of their sales, it shouldn't be more than a couple of months.P.S. You've been Spanked!Comment

well under normal circumstances I would have no problems buying it, without winning the lottery, but due to renovations, the creditcards are a tad high at this time..
At least the renovations resulted in having two basement apartments, which are now rented out for $1150/month

The 2405FPW (and presumably the others) have pretty fast pixel response. I haven't checked them out with a game yet, but they seem good.Originally posted by Kooldino
They also have three scaling modes for non-native resolutions: "full screen", "keep aspect ratio", and "one to one". The "one to one" mode would be fine for games (using non-Matrox cards), since they could be set to 1600x1200, which many cards these days can handle reasonably well. The "keep aspect ratio" mode looks pretty good as well (even SVGA text modes look fine), so a card that can only do 1024x768 would also look just fine.
