Making a sticky topic just to show off his new goodies...

... I am sporting a sweet 15.4" widescreen on my Dell 6400 notebook. Otherwise, my Dell 1907FP is as good as I get.

Yes I would like to see everyone's widescreen bling action.

I'll post a pic of my Dell 2405FP in just a bit.

I'm trying to figure out the differences between the 2405 and the 2407 other than the stand.

Speed and brightness I think, here's a side-by-side pic of both LCD's specs.....

Yea i got 1 of these a month ago. Real solid display but you must run sli if u game and like high frame rates on high settings.

Well... I have a 17" WUXGA+ UltraSharp Widescreen laptop if that counts? I just wish I could use in place of my 17" square CRT desktop monitor!!

[GIBSON]

I don't own one and IMHO i don't want one. I don't think computers are made to be used with a widescreen, widescreens are for watching television/movies and that's not exactly what I do with my rig. Must say i've never used one though, maybe I'd change my mind if i did, but as for now I see no reason to put the money down for one. Just my 2 cents.

You jerks and your WS displays! I want one too! *sigh* WS gaming = :D

Gibson,

Try gaming on one and you'll change your mind. It's pretty amazing.

Yes!! I know I said this before, but playing CounterStrike at 1920by1200 resolution is simply a completely different game... It will turn any gun into a sniping weapon, and made aiming at people's heads pretty easy... not even counting that sneaking up on someone with such a wide vision arc is pretty hard

What made it shine is playing HL2 and HL Episode one at widescreen resolutions with the eyecandy on... it really adds to the immersion effect of being in the game to have a large field of vision. Only problem is HL2.1 was to much for my laptop, and I didn't get the model with any type of video input. At 1280by720 ya tend to lose a good bit of the widescreen effect compared to the larger widescreen modes...

Hopefully not speaking to soon.

Well the monitor showed up. It has a scuff in the top and bottom of the bezel in the middle. So I contacted Dell and they told me they are shipping me a new monitor and to go ahead and use this one until the new one shows up.

Man it looks nice hooked up here at work. Taking it home in a couple of hours and firing up some gaming. Pretty cool to have Bjor3d.com and MSN screens both up and not having to side scroll to read them.
