Hakai Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Monitor is less than 6 months old, currently being used as the centre of our home entertainment system. It supports D-SUB, DVI-D, Component, Composite and S-Video inputs, all can be used simultaneously except for D-SUB and DVI-D which can't be used together. I have all original packaging and cables, balance of 3 year, next business day replacement, parts warranty. Retailed for about $1,600 when I bought it. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, no dead pixels, no faults, nothing, selling because I need cash pretty bad after being screwed by my old job while moving house heh I am asking $1,000 + postage to wherever. I live on the Gold Coast and can obviously organise pickup from anywhere nearby. Email is the best way to reach me ([email protected]), I'll check back here as often as I can but I can check email more. Cheers, Ben.

sirgillespie Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 600, pics? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/117401-dell-2405fpw-24-widescreen-lcd/#findComment-2163546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakai Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 600, pics? $600 is a tad low don't you think? It's less than 6 months old, in perfect condition, all original packaging with 2.5+ years left on next business day replacement warranty... The new model 2407FPW is out, retailing for $1,599 and the only difference between the two is HDMI support over DVI-D. $900 + postage would be the lowest I'd go, anything less and it's not worth selling, sorry. (Just checked the current ebay asking price, and it sits on average at US$600 + US$80 postage.) I don't have a digital camera so I can't take pics of my exact screen but I'll give you some links to reviews with pics, I can't do much better than that. Jaded Gamer Review XBox360 on 2405FPW (1080 Hi-Def) Just another pic Tom's Hardware Review In regards to the Tom's Hardware review, in the end of the review they say the monitor's latency isn't acceptable for gaming and that ghosting is very evident in both gaming and movies. I can say from experience that this is in fact not true. Games are unbelievable on this screen and movies are just as good. The viewing angle is awsome, as I said it's currently being used as the display for our home theatre, DVDs are watchable from any angle of our lounge room with no problems at all.

Nightcrawler Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 ouch, that Tom's Hardware review bags it a few different ways .... $700? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/117401-dell-2405fpw-24-widescreen-lcd/#findComment-2170366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakai Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 ouch, that Tom's Hardware review bags it a few different ways ....$700? Heh, I included Tomshardware because they are quite professional in their reviews, also because I am very confident with the monitor itself. They point out some flaws yes, but they also say that it has some of the absolute best results of any monitor they'd tested to date, two extremes, you have to consider both. In regards to them bagging it a few different ways, as I said, the ghosting is not visible. I am/was an avid gamer, playing everything from Quake4, FEAR, WoW on it, and they were spectacular, I never noticed any ghosting to speak of. Same with movies, my roommates and I currently watch movies on it nightly, every person who comes over and sees a movie on it for the first time, comments on how awsome it is for watching DVDs on, those parts of the Tomshardware review I can refute from experience, and can only put their results down to the fact that they are extremely picky, which they are. $900 I'll do, but it is in perfect condition as I've said, it's just not worth me selling it less. Besides, $700 won't cover the bills I'm selling it to pay so it voids the entire reason for the sale It's a great monitor and while I appreciate the offers, I honestly can't afford to sell it below $900, even if I wanted to. It is well worth the money and you wouldn't be disappointed with it at all. Balance of warranty, 3 years next business day replacement on parts, full box, all cables, everything, like new.

Hakai Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 Well, I guess it aint worth $900 to anyone, so I can't beat the dead horse anymore. I'll take $800 if anyone's interested. Ben.

Ok, seems the friend is now unsure as to whether or not he wants the screen because now he wants a skyline, who can blame him though? Lol. I've received 3 pm/emails in regards to people interested in buying it for $800+postage. I am going to the post office after I finish posting this with the box measurements, I'm going to get a freight+insurance cost and then post that info here. I will be replying to the 3 pm/emails I've received and the first person to get back to me with a definite yes gets first dibs. Cheers, Ben.
