Has anybody got there hands on one of the Dell 2408WFPs yet? Any reports of the ghosting issue that plauges the 2407WFP- HC? I havn't yet found any decent review of this monitor but it seems to have potential.

ps, what ever happened to Toms doing decent monitor reviews looking at brightness, gamut etc? The only place I have found that seem to do reviews up to the standard Toms once did is behardware.com

I will receive my monitor tomorrow.
Written and youtube review as well.

There's been written review on hardforums which is very promising.
There's no ghosting as it was in the 2407-HC thats for sure. Because that was
the first thing I look at.

Probably tomorrow evening I'll post it up.

Just got my dell2408 monitor today!
As soon as my brother comes with the the Camera, I'll post up a
video review.

I'll be sure to give you a PM. I like to make a written review but.
I rather so have some picture, because no pix= it didn't happen.

Hi bsan89,

Please PM me a link to your reviews once they're up. I'm especially looking forward to watching the 2408WFP in action (on YouTube).

Thanks!

Have you finished your review yet? People report about high input-lag.

I would also like to see this review and get confirmation for the input lag issue.

i just got my 2 new monitors - 2408WFP :-)
it look's very good, but i must warn you - it's not compatible - meaning DVI (digital) input - with all graphic cards.. I tried it with some 7300gs nvidia from asus and monitor was only going to sleep and can't detect signal in dvi ports. When i change card to some 7900 gt nvidia all seems to be ok. it's a bit strange, because the 7300gs was worked long time with my previous monitor, a 24" lcd from hp (i think lp2465..).

Love it.
Blueray on my PS3 is wicked good. My friend watch it from all angle of my room.

Written review w/picture will follow up on monday.
I will follow up picture to show picture to picture to compare. Busy busy busy weeken.

Edit: I'm remaking the video, more detail and quick.

Would you please show more than just your final fantasy wallpaper? The video review is not useful at all, since you only talk about things but don't show them. Show people the (not) ghosting, show the video playback, show gaming and try to test the input lag (40-60ms).
I would appreciate that and others too I guess.

Ok, I'll remake it tonight. Sorry about the video. I was half-awake after work and youtube gave me like 5-6min of footage.

Input lag would be switching from dvi to hdmi right? Swapping input?
Just need to find my tri-pod now.

Input-Lag is usually comparison to a CRT (difference between rendered frame and shown frame. I guess you don't have any CRT so skip the test since other sources have confirmed that it has a horrible lag (up to 4 frames) which makes it useless for internet gaming (shooters).

I've had one of these for about a week now and really haven't come across any problems. It seems to be a great monitor and I don't really feel any difference when playing COD4 online compared to my last 22" 2ms TN panel. Viewing angles are excellent and haven't really felt any ghosting.
All I need to do now is get another GTX or wait for 9800's as playing cod4 and fsx on full at 1920 x 1200 is pretty taxing.

Prices here in NZ are pretty steep

With the present exchange rate that is about $950USD for the 2408.
I don't know that I can justify that much.

albovin at hardforum has done a in depth review with a video on youtube to go with it.
