That's too bad. I have been lucky, because of the hundreds of Dell shipments I have received they have never been damaged and were always very well packed. Sounds like something went wrong at the boxing facility.

Now, UPS losing a package... that is a whole other story.

Nice to hear Dell cares about their customers enough to ship a completely new one first! I honestly wouldn't have really expected that from them with such high-value hardware.

Ok less than 5 hours using the monitor at home but gaming most the time. OMFG, that about sums it up. If I would of known how cool having a big monitor like this was I would of gotten one a year ago.

The nice thing is if the game does not support wide screen then just drop your desktop to 1600x1200 and play at that. The games still fill the entire screen and look great. They do not even seem squashed or anything like I thought they would.

Wow, the 2407WFP has some very nice specs and performance... http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1991540,00.asp And a good price tag too. Now to just find some coupon codes and see what happens...

So far I "only" got a 19" WS Fujitsu screen in addition to my regular 21" ViewSonix TFT. I probably gonna get a bigger WS later as I want the extra width when working.

I actually tried to order a 24" DELL 3 times from their website and then gave up as their whole systems was completely screwed up. Neither IE or Firefox let me actually finish my buy, just throwing me back to the shopping cart, this time with a monitor that was free

. And then it crashed with an ASP.Net error (the site). Very confusing. But maybe the tech gods told me to wait a while

If I can get some of my extra stuff sold, I'm going to go for a Viewsonic 20.1 wide screen

Hi Scott, Ive been looking to get this 24" Dell as my xmas gift but if its that good I may just get it sooner.

Just one question, I cant tell if its future proof or not - ie - does the 2407 support the new HDMI formats?
