Actually, this is the first thing I did.
I previously bought the 2005fpw and I returned it not because of backlight issue but its kinda poor as a TV monitor.
Even with DVD using a S-video cable, the pictures seem like its been blown up.
Buying the 2405fpw, I was hoping the component inputs would make a diffrence.
Well, it does but the DVD quality is still not up to par as normal HDTV.
I mean, from 4-5 feet out, the pictures look real good but closer, it looks blown up.
I don't have a HDTV source so I don't know what it look like.
Can anyone verify that HDTV pictures on this monitor is on PAR with a normal HDTV ??
I mean if Dell were to make this monitor picture quality as good as their LCD TV, then it would cut into the LCD TV sales big time.
If you were to view this monitor as a computer monitor first and TV monitor second, then I would give it an A+.
Still would like to hear if DHTV on this monitor is as good as a normal HDTV.
