It happens dude, be thankful they even have any at this pointmistax said:
. And I did some thinking list night: you might want to throw some cash on a stronger GPU than that 6800GS. If not now, then deff later on down the line.
I could open my old relic box and test this screen on my FX5500 and my 6600GT, but nahMr. Roboto said:
. I like the 7900, besides the fact that it sounds like a hair-dryer in my case, a very quiet hair dryer , but I'll probably end up tossing a VF900 on that thing later on and OC it a bit.

Even if it wasn't exactly like mine was, the colors are still out-of-this-world. But, you are definitely correct about each screen being different: one might have a heavier pitch towards red, another blue, one might have a stronger or weaker back light, it's all very very small indiferences but still seperations. And then there's the human-aspect which adds even more variables, blah blah blah, the list goes on forever. I was giving my specs as a starting point to fiddle from, cuz, at least for me, the colors are amazing with those settings, and the whites are actually whiter than my printer-paperThund3rball said:Good intentions but the same displays can vary greatly due to environmental conditions and of course... gremlins
But seriously, You can put 2 of the exact same displays side by side, give them the exact same settings and hardware powering it and they'll look different. So having said that, I highly encourage everyone to look into monitor calibration and if you are really fussy, buy a Spyder2.

Thund3rball said:I see you also have a 2405 in your sig and are running a 2900XT
How would you compare the 2405 w/the 2407-HC?
Mobious said:Well, I did some figuring during breakfast: the monitor has a black-to-white refresh rate of 16ms. 1000ms = 1s, so 1000ms/16ms = 62.5 times-per-second, or roughly 60 times-per-second, which is what the max Hz rating happens to be (60Hz). So, the monitor is able to, at max, refresh 60 times-per-second, making it perfect for 60fps feeds. So, why in the hell would it start to smudge at only 30fps? Answer: the GPU. If the GPU can't keep up with the render, it would be unable to fill in the areas where another color just was, thusly giving a "smudge" effect (like I was getting). Now, with my 7900GS, un-OC'd, it's slightly there, but what this does tell me is that G92 will make this monitor shine. AKA: I got something to look forward to

PS:
, thought I never would). Hopefully this will all be remedied with Yorksfield and a 9800GTX in the coming months.

THANK YOU!!! Thund3rball, you have saved my sanity (I think...>.<)!!! I was waiting for someone to say "it's definitely the screen dude, get it replaced", or "nah dude, your GPU is a little weak, get a better one and that'll clear up", instead all I've gotten are "well, maybe this will work", and "try this instead" from the Dell people. I knew it was the screen, right out of the box, now all I gotta do is pound my fist and make sure Dell sends me a NEW one and not a refurb. Ummm, BTW, might as well ask: does Dell send you the new/refurb (better not be refurb >.<) unit first, then ask you to send your unit after the new one arrives??? I got 3 weeks, I was JW what to expect. Thank you again Thund3rball, I'll get on the horn with Dell tomorrow and see what I can do. I'll be sure to post NEW pics and video with the new screen (even if I gotta do it from my dormThund3rball said:I saw your screenies earlier but this video is a real clincher, wow! I have never seen ghosting that bad, WTF? I don't know if all the 2407 HCs are like that, but I would talk to a CSR and get that one replaced.
My 2007wfp does not ghost. I can even understand a little ghosting occuring when it comes to LCDs (not that I've ever seen it on mine) but that is WAY past tollerable, and absolutely unacceptable.
Hate to say it... it's probably gotta go back
)!!! It's a grey-ish background not a true black, so the "ghosting" occurs there too. After I made it and watched it, I was like "wow, I should video this and add it onto the end AFTER the credits," but nah
