Dell 2405FPW Widescreen LCD Display

As one of the miscreants that does graphics for HEXUS, and the Group Technical Editor, I'm the one that has to make sure we do it properly. And it turns out that recently we haven't. The launch of the NVIDIA G70 graphics chip and the first two SKUs powered by it, along with ATI's latest pixel pushing bit of silicon and its primary offspring, means that graphics chips are out there that can seriously game. And game at higher than UXGA resolution (1600x1200). And if I'm honest, that's been realistically possible in modern games since NV40.

This gigantic 24-inch LCD offers top-notch image quality, multiple video-input options, USB ports, a bank of flash-card slots, and a full range of adjustability options, all for hundreds less than the competition.

Given the fact that this 1,920 x 1,200 24in TFT from Dell is more than £200 cheaper than the Eizo and Sony, we weren't expecting great things. After all, the 2005FPW had stumbled through our tests with
