News 5th Jan for Dell Cinema display

Glad to see you caught up with the past

 

lol.. well.. your girl... she ugly.

 

Girl? What girl? Remember, you are talking to an extreme geek

 

lol that is the truth for most extreme geeks(I include myself in this catogory)
I would love to have one but with my current budget i can't justify the cost may the 24" one soon and i would be happy with that.

 

lol nice..

 

Of the girl or the screen(no offence meant)?

Nice display by the way.

 

anyone have any news on when the 2007 and 2407 (primarily the latter) will be released? ive read that it will be the 5th somewhere and ive read that it will be feb-march somewhere else

That's teh DAMNED SEX!!

I just think i did a little shexwee

 

not really, its just a tv
37" and 1366x768
useless as a monitor imo

 

WTF? No component input? That's a bit ****.

 

7800GT/X has dual-link?

I thought only "professional" cards, like Quattro/Fire/Maxtor stuff offer dual-link.

 

$2200 retail price isnt bad at all for a screen this massive

 

err

 

Well, it's indeed released today. I definately won't be saving for one, as the lack of inputs is a huge turnoff. The 24" is over $200 off though, about $900.

Still, it's less expensive than the Apple 30" *after* a student discount.

 

what other inputs do you want?

 

VGA, Composite, component and S-video. A la 2405FPW. And yes, before you ask, I would use all of them. The one and only thing I don't like about my 2005FPW is the lack of component-in.

Seems to me getting a pair of the 24" and setting them up side-by-side in portrait mode could be a more sensible option, both with pricing and versatility. 2400x1920 is hardly a res to scoff at, though it's 5:4 rather than widescreen (unless you'd rather have an ultra-widescreen setup, 3840x1200 sounds nice).

Even if I were to only use one, I'd like the idea of having more. You expect a TV to have more than a coax in for cable, I expect; I'd expect a monitor the size of a pretty decent TV to also have multiple uses. At LEAST component-in (HDMI would be nice too, though) for DVD playing.

 

Scuse my french but this is now pissing me off

It has those dammit! READ THE DELL SITE

There is only Dual Link DVI-D on the 3007WFP. However, it would need HDMI Type B to support its native resolution, as HDMI Type A can't support higher than 1080p AFAIK.

I'm not sure what the maximum resolution of component in/out is though.

Both GeForce 7800-series and Radeon X1800 series support Dual Link DVI - the latter has two Dual Link DVI-D TMDS, whereas GeForce 7800-series only has the one TMDS.

 

confusion has just gone around the world..... i was on about the 37" TV...

whoopsy

 

Heh, pwned. Yeah, I'd consider the TV, except for the fact that as soon as they add in a tuner, they always drop the resolution at least fourfold from what it should/could be, and that doesn't bode well with an image quality whore like myself.

So, the 1080p on the 24" will have to do. Luckily US programming sucks, so a lack of TV features means nothing to me.

As for component max res - I know it can do at least 1080i, as there are DVD players with upsampling to that res. I'd imagine what it can use is mostly determined by the TV, not the standard 400MHZ RAMDACs that DVI uses or whatever,
