2408wfp

I feel that this is an overall Fantastic product. I woke up to the fact that it had PIP and PBP capabilities. I have found that with DVI-D and HDMI for inputs I cannot get PIP to work. After figuring out the cryptic documentation, I find that with VGA/DVI input the options for the other side are S-video, composite, of component. I ask why this is and is there a work-a-round that will enable me to use DVI and HDMI inputs for PIP and PBP?

    Not aware of a work around but I agree that it would be really useful if I could have an HDMI and DVI or 2 DVI inputs on screen together though what I really would find useful is the facility for each digital input to have it's own settings so I didn't have to keep altering things.

    Hi there. Wondering if you can help me with something - I'm seriously considering buying the 2408WFP but I have one concern: the depth.

    The product specs claim the unit is around 8" deep, which seems insane. I'm thinking this might be referring to the box???

    I want to hang this on my wall and use it as a digital picture frame (I'll be connecting it to a PC / hiding the VGA cable behind the wall) but if it's 8" deep, it'll look like I've hung a large box on my wall.

    Can you tell me how deep this thing actually is?? (not including the stand)

    Cheers

    I would say it's 3 inches and the connections plug in upwards so you don't have to allow extra space for protruding cables.

    The 8" number is with the stand.  The monitor by itself is only about 3" before the stand unit is attached.

    Hi,

    Is your monitor a A01 revision?

    Does your monitor have a brighter left side problem?

    I had an A00 with that problem and was wondering if it still exists in current rev.

    If you look at this website: www.hardforum.com

    Does the left side seem brighter than the rest of the monitor?  It's about a 2 inch lighter band in from the left side.

     

    Especially noticable on dark grey background.

    the wireless network card should work,,,get a usb one, and you will need an wireless router that is compatible with it.....

    Is A01 that latest revision? and is this the version currently shipped by Dell?

    Does the A01 revision still have the problem in the A00 and captured on this forum?

    I am contemplating buying a 2408WFP and some of the positings very concerning and is thinking of an alternative monitor (Samsung T240HD) instead. Any input/advise is welcome. Thanks.
