Hey all,
My new Widescreen LCD got here last night. Just a few remarks here.
1. Dang it's heavy. My 15" LCD weighs considerably less. The dell comes in at over 24 pounds.
2. Can't get the dang VGA cord out of the input of the monitor. It's kinda a tight squeeze and my fingers are to big apparantly. I'm using DVI so it's kinda useless sitting there attached to nothing.
3. Very slight backlight bleed in the top right corner, but you really have to look for it. Its not at all major and I don't notice it while gaming. Not a big deal, just mentioning.
4. My old crap Geforce4 MX can't keep up very well at 1680x1850 (i think the 1st # is right) resolution in WoW. No biggie again. My BFG 6800GT OC is ariving today w/ my new PSU.
5. Very crisp and bright picture quallity. When I first woke up this morning to pull up my browser(default at google which is nothing but white), it nearly blinded me.
6. Don't notice any dead pixels anywhere.
7. The USB connector on the sides and under the "wiring panel"(where everything plugs in under the monitor), I find quite useful.
Overall I'd give it a 8/10 rating, but my opinion of it will probably increase to a 9/10 as the time goes on and i get the stupid VGA cord out.
