- The 2405FPW is insanely nice. The picture does NOT appear to be washed out at all when compared with 2005FPW. It is the richest in color and black is really pitch dark black. No problems here. I like the built in card reader, a very nice touch. One less item off my desk.

This monitor is very nice. No back light bleed and very crisp and bright. The stand and fit & finish is really superb.- Im hoping i hear nothing but good abt this monitor i sold my old 1702fp to get the 2005fpw and i was soo disapointed.Leakage like no other ive seen before.I know alot of the time u get what u pay for, theres a reason the refurbished site has 20-25 more monitors every day.Evan at 25% off and 75$ its still not worth it.On the 2405fpw note, i wish they didnt have the card reader myself,after all im buying a monitor not a 3 in 1 tool.But i know its nice for some people out there and im sure cost wise itsonly a extra 35 40 $..Im still waiting for that 25% off and 75$ sale!!:smileywink:

i received my 2405FPW Display a couple days ago... and i'd like to know if anyone else is experiencing the same things...
first and foremost, does anyone have any idea where the service tag is on the display... i've called techinical support? several times for hours over the last couple days and given them every single number on this display, none of which seems to be the service tag...
secondly... while the display looks great using the DVI from my laptop... when i connect a DVD player through the component, near the top of the screen, just a couple inches down... i'm getting an inch wide strip of distortion that runs across the entire screen... before anyone jumps to conclusions... i've tested this with multiple DVD titles, and yes 3 different DVD players, including the newest samsung upconvert HD DVD player... and different cables, each time, i'm getting the exact same response... perfect picture most of the screen and inch wide strip at the top of distortion...
i've been trying to get someone from dell to answer this question... but evidently, three phone calls, each lasting almost two hours before i'm ultimately disconnected or hung up on, is not enough...
if anyone has any information, comments, etc... please post them... thanks...- I think i remeber coming across someone talking abt this on www.hardfourm.comi could b wrong.im try to get as much info as i can on thisone before i buy...
- Hi noritsugu
Yes you are right, you do get a TAG Number on your computer that gives information on the Dell computer you have bought which in clude the keyboaud,mouse, monitor and mouse matt. But if you buy a monitor or printer, it does not come with a TAG just order Number that you use when calling dell service.

The last I read the worst was that the screen looked a little more washed out compared to the 2005fpw, but I haven't once a problem with backlighting with the 2405.
