Bought an XPS630 2 weeks ago with dual 8800GT Nvidia cards in SLI mode.
Decided to take the plunge on a 24" screen for games and work and on recommendation of Dell Salesman bought the 2408WFP, got this screen two days ago so decided to buy a decent game Crysis to test out my new high spec hardware.
This is a fine monitor for ordinary use but the Lag issue with this screen makes any Decent First Person Shooter game totally unplayable.
After trawling through the posts here I see there are numerous other users with the same issue and apparently there is an updated model of this screen with a newer firmware that reduces the lag issue and gives better control of the sharpness on the screen with increments of 10 over the 25 increase on the current version.
What I would love to know is whether the LAG issue has been corrected in the new revision of this screen as Dell are sending me a new one which apparently has these issues sorted out....
Did anyone get one of these new revision screens with the updated firmware notice much difference with the LAD issue?
Crysis is a very "laggy" feeling game no matter what you play it on. I've played it on an 1800FP, 2007FP, and the 2408WFP and it's just got a very laggy, floaty feeling game in general. Turning off "Motion Blur" helps a bit.

Any info appreciated
No one posting here has gotten an updated version yet.
And you should definatly use a less demanding game to see how it's working out for you. Although the 2408wfp does have ALOT of lag, there are also other contributing factors that would affect the images that are displayed on the monitor. You gain lag through all the components from the mouse to the monitor, and crysis isn't helping keep those other components from causing more lag than necessary.

i understand your issue. could it be that crysis itself being such a resource heavy game that would feel laggy on any screen?
how about trying another game that is not so heavy on requirements?
tell us how it goes.
