The one disappointment with the monitor is that, suprisingly, it does not come with a DVI cable. When you remove the screen from the box, they have a VGA cable pre-attached (does it need to be attached already?). Who would be buying a monitor like this, and not have a video card with DVI...and not use it? If there is anyone, it has to be in the minority. And I know DVI cables are not cheap, but considering this monitor retails for around $150 less than it's next-cheapest compettitor, couldn't they have put a DVI cable in instead of VGA?

I will say that we got this monitor for cheap. My employee purchase program dropped it to $779 w/$1 for shipping. And that $1 shipping cost got the monitor to my door in two days. Nice.

By the way, I'm impressed with that Cooler Master case. It's actually pretty attractive, and the Plextor optical SATA drive I ordered matches it perfectly with the black faceplate.

Mmm nice monitor! If it's not too rude a question, how much was it? Dell UK has it listed at well over 1000 UKP.

If anyone in the UK is thinking of buying one of the other Dell LCDs at the moment they have the 1905FP, 2005FPW and 2001FP at 25% off.

Give it a year or so and the 2405 will be down to the current price of the 2005FPW, hopefully...

That's so tempting, the 2005FPW is only £360. Just can't bring myself to buy it especially when my old crt is still going strong.

I can't believe there was not DVI cable. My roommate just got the 2001 and it had DVI and VGA cables.
