A few days ago there was a massive fire at an Asian facility that makes the flat panels. 24 production lines have been knocked out. This company supplies 24% of HPs, 20% of Dells, and various other companies LCD panels for their monitors. Expect most companies to start seeing some shortages.

Best thing to do with Dell is to stick with your demand that your order be processed and not let them try to change the game on you. Let them know that they are welcome to take their time, just keep your order locked in.

...Specs on paper doesn't mean a thing compare to real life experience...My 3 years Cinema Display look sharper better in all the ways but the thing that make me really mad is that color effect around small type...Instead of being black you have a small color effect around the black, mostly red...I makes you wont to focus all the time but the problem is not your eyes, it's the monitor...

Anyway, the exciting news is the 102% NTSC color gamut, and 1080p component input (finally).

PS: Engadget, the 2408 actually has 4 USB ports, two on the bottom and two on the side next to the card reader. ]]>Jan 17th 2008 1:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dells-24-inch-2408wfp-monitor-with-displayport-and-everything/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dells-24-inch-2408wfp-monitor-with-displayport-and-everything/Jan 17th 2008 1:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dells-24-inch-2408wfp-monitor-with-displayport-and-everything/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dells-24-inch-2408wfp-monitor-with-displayport-and-everything/Jan 17th 2008 2:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dells-24-inch-2408wfp-monitor-with-displayport-and-everything/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dells-24-inch-2408wfp-monitor-with-displayport-and-everything/

My main problem with the latest generation in design is that their stands lost about 3 inches in max height.

Basically 100% color gamut means you can show all the colours in that standard, 120% means you can display 20% more colours than that standard.]]>Jan 17th 2008 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dells-24-inch-2408wfp-monitor-with-displayport-and-everything/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dells-24-inch-2408wfp-monitor-with-displayport-and-everything/
Adobe also has the 'Adobe Wide Gamut RGB' color space, this allows for about 78% of all visible colors to be rendered.

What bothers me is the 400cm/m brightness is very good, but the 30" models can't match this and cost more...it makes the 30's overpriced, imo.

Good monitor to see some testing on.
