I was getting scared that my 2405 would arrive with dead pixels or a crack on the screen or perhaps a weird hum... thanks goodness, it's pristine!

I ran a DPT (dead pixel test) and although at first I found what appeared to be 4 dead pixels, I was relieved to find out that it was just dust.... PHEW!!

My question, do dead pixels appear out of nowhere (i.e. after a few days of use) or is it only when the monitor is first turned on?

Lastly, I have to point out that the vga cord was attached to the 2405 and was bent out of place inside the box and styrofoam.... is this normal??

Thanks,
Joey

Here are some pictures, as we all love pictures!

It is BIGGER in real life - the 2405's length is about 2 inches longer than my Logitech Elite Keyboard even though it looks equal in the pic, just to give you an idea.

NO contest.... my Samsung 193P 19" LCD that I bought last year for $750 from newegg vs my new Dell 2405 which I bought for $650 from Dell.

Room's a little messy.... sorry!

I'm in the middle of revamping my audio system <- my excuse!

The vga cord thing is normal, they test the monitor before it gets packed into the box. I've had mine for awhile now and I love it, enjoy!

Lucky dog! If my 17" CRT ever expires, I'll be tempted to move my 2005FPW over to secondary monitor duties and pick up a 2405

How did you get it for only $650. The best recent deals have been in the $750-800 range. If you can hook me up I would gladly pay $650 for one too.

Saw it when you posted it on Genmay. Nice monitor. Hopefully, my 2005fpw will be here sometime soon.

how long do you think it will be until you fill the entire monitor with icons? i think that could be a piece of art

He could do a mosaic.
