Looking for Dell UltraSharp 2405FPW, 2407WFP or 2408WFP – will trade for work
[ad#ab_post_top_lu]
Ok, so this is a unique request. I am in the market for a used or refurbished Dell UltraSharp 2405FPW (I think I use this model at work), 2407WFP or 2408WFP computer monitor.
Some people may or may not know, but most monitors on the market, especially ones smaller then 24 inch use cheaper “panels” known at TN panels. I am not 100% sure on the technical issues behind this, but it has to do with color banding on the screen, ghosting, etc…
The reason for this banding, ghosting, and distortion is because these panels are 6 bit with 2 bit dithering. What I am looking for is a TRUE 8 bit monitor. I work with graphics, I stare at the monitor for hours at a time…and I have seen the difference between a 6 bit monitor and an 8 bit one.
I am not sure if the latest Dell models of the 2407WFP or 2408WFP are true 8 bit models, but the older ones are. I believe revision A04 is considered a good one.
I can’t afford to buy a 24 inch monitor of this caliber…which is why I am after a used or refurbished one.
I am looking to you, the blog community, to let me know if you have one you are looking to part with. Either let me know your price or I will consider doing web design / development work in exchange for the monitor.
I am serious about this. I will need to know specs and see pictures prior to accepting this exchange of course.
