Don't get me wrong, everything doesn't need to be useless, but a little filtering would be better.

Within the next year you'll be seeing a lot of hardware with it. One cool feature: you can daisy chain displays.

In the monitor's settings I went to Color Settings -> PC Custom Color, and dropped the Red, Green and Blue Adjust down to ~75. Then I set my Contrast to 85 to get my white level back up; Brightness to 20 to bring the black level down. That made my display usable.

Every screen is different so even if we had identical graphics cards we may need different settings, but the ballpark should help. If you work in a brighter environment (like under the sun) those settings might be too dark, but for the most part try not to blow out the whites.]]>Jan 9th 2008 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/dell-2408wfp-in-the-works/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/dell-2408wfp-in-the-works/Jan 9th 2008 9:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/dell-2408wfp-in-the-works/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/dell-2408wfp-in-the-works/Jan 9th 2008 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/dell-2408wfp-in-the-works/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/dell-2408wfp-in-the-works/
