Hey bro, how to check for DEAD PIXELS??.. tq tq...

Using Dead Pixel Buddy. Just check for any black/white dot on the screen.

Yup.. quite reliable.

DELL is using two courier for dealing with customer.

ABX courier will come and collect the cheque / bank draft.

SkyNet courier is responsible for delivering the goods. It took only one day after my order via internet for ABX to contact me and arrange for the cheque collection. Very fast I would say...

Now still waiting for my DELL 228WFP today. It seems that they fail to deliver the goods yesterday because the SkyNet fella failed to find my house

Already arrange another time today which is around 4PM to 5PM and today.. hopefully he won't sesat anymore...

Good one.LOL..Make sure you enjoy every minute of it. Anyway, do let me know which revision you get ok cause my new one is Rev01. My previous one which is Rev00 seems "better" to me. Might be my wrong perception..

Haha, for the payment option instead of Credit Card, Cheque/Bank Draft, Direct Cash/Cheque Deposit, Flexi Payment, huh... so many method , I've used Telegraphic Transfer / Interbank Transfers just now around 1 pm. Guess Dell will receive it on Monday. And thank for nothing guys, for my previous question.

Received my LCD at 6.45 PM

A veeryyy long waiting.


By the way guys... what is your setting for the DELL 228WFP?? I think mine is too bright and the color aren't correct... dunno what sort of setting shud I go.. already trying a few setting but the result aren't very satisfying.

congratulations on ur new addition man....

hows it treating u so far?

and how does it feel to be jumping from a 19" to a 22"??

Phoenixwunin, u still using ur old rig? faster move to new c2d and 8800 lor

My new addition seems to be... quite bright Have been trying to figure out the correct settings but most of the time it doesn't satisfying to me.

But from 19" to 22".. I must say it is... long... and big Very much happy with this LCD...


Waiting for OP650 and 8800GTS to arrive... then my new C2D rig will be complete. And I heard my OP650 will be here next week Unfortunately though.. next week is orientation week for me in UUM... so can't do anything about it... have to wait till orientation's over before my new rig is complete..

LOL..First of all, congrats on your new gadget..

Anyway, about the setting, i am ok with the brightness. Thats why i stick with all the default setting. Jumping from CRT to LCD is marvelous. I am used to the brightness level though...LOL..

Anyway, which rev you get?A01?A00?

@Phoenixwunin

i got my e228wfp too from viewnet week ago. rev A01.

brightness 55 contrast 55

normal preset (sRGB) colour setting.

that's all for my setting

Care to share with us how is the warranty being done?Do you still get the sales after service from Dell? Since some of us curious how viewnet manage to have Dell LCDs selling at their outlet.

I got Revision A01 too... just like you. But so far I think I'm quite satisfied with it... maybe because I have yet to see how A00 looks...

Very lucky I think. Having lots of headache thinking how I'm gonna live without monitor until 12 July (leaving for my college tomorrow morning)... and suddenly DELL forwarder called to arrange for postage. And that courier fella still lost on the way to my house today, luckily he manage to find it finally and I receive it at 6.45 PM... but he is not from SkyNet though... something like dermaga-dermaga sort of thing.

Whoa.. 55 for brightness is kinda malap to me...

But I manage to find a setting that is suitable with me... 75 for both brightness and contrast. And 74, 77 and 87 for Red, Green and Blue respectively.


Ofcourse... 3 years waranty from DELL. Though I am not so sure about their one-on-one change policy. But I think its 30 days for that.

In terms of warranty... I think akachester and kianwee would have a better insight on it since both have gone through the procedur. Regarding Viewnet though... it would be better if someone can ask them since I'm kinda curious about their warranty system as well. Is it directly from DELL or not? Since I do heard rumors from other people that they might be selling a refurbished units... and even then I still am not sure about it.

The sales person told me 1st year direct to the shop. another 2 years gotta settle wif dell ourselves. iianm

87 for blue is abit too cold for me the screen hehe.
about the warranty from viewnet.. 1st year direct to viewnet. other 2 years to dell. if want straight go to dell also can. according to the sales person.

Glad to hear that. So is it safe to say that your monitor is not refurbished unit after all?

hmm if it is a refurbished unit, is there any way to determine it? but as long as it has no dead pixels and other problems, it doesn't bother me if it is a refurbished unit

Just buy direct from DELL la... easier.
