my new gorgeous



just arrived few days ago

Dell Monitor
24" S2409W Full HD Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor

Good 24 incher there. But I think today I saw a dead pixel popped out at the middle of the screen.

eih? i didnt follow tis thread...

may i know ur monitor's model?

Same as urs, S2409W.
My siggy tells everything.

Why ur 4850 cannot support?Is any probelm with it?

owh IC.............

now im getting worried too............ huhuh....

when 7 dots dead pixel appeared, can claim warranty eh?

It's 6 or more dead pixel only can claim.
I'm just hoping that 5 others dead pixel will pop up immediately.

So dead pixel warranty will work until your warranty expired(1-3years)? This 6 or more dead pixel warranty also apply for other brand as well?

Greetings ,
I am getting a new rig I would like to compare these 2 models..

BENQ E2400HD X Dell S2409W 24"

I really don't mind their price tag.. pls give ur opinion which 1 should i get?

Should i get 1080 P monitor?
My usage on the monitor :
Mainly games n movie , ocassionaly microsft office n alot of internet browsing..

Not same depends on the brand's warranty policy. Yeah, whole warranty period is covered

Do you mind write some review. Aiming for this monitor bcoz of low price.

I don't think so. Based on what I read, both even has the same issue, whereby when the brightness is set below a certain level, there are sounds coming from the monitor. That alone should imply that both are almost similar, maybe they use the same panels and manufacturing tech, but don't take my word for it. Best is still to put both of them side by side to see.

Argghh, not again, I thought this "noise" issue happen to Samsung CRT only. Suddenly recalled my old time 753DF with the same prob.
Btw, 2253BW and 2253LW share the same specs, only different in size.

mind to share more shoots? i.e. watching DVD, opening office words, PS3?

I bought the HDMI-to-HDMI cable for RM23.50 at Carrefour.
DVI and HDMI are digital signals and have a better quality than VGA which is analog.
DVI and HDMI are the same and both are compatible to each other.
HDMI is also capable of sending audio signals as well, while DVI and VGA can't.

@roozaimee, welcome to the dell s2409w family

@owikh84, wah you bought the HDMI cable and test already. I haven't got any since dun have the HDMI device to test it but glad to heard the HDMI port it's work and sad to heard that you got one dead pixel at ur LCD, i better double check a well after i back KL.

Yeah, successfully get the HDMI working on my S2409W.
But for some reason with this monitor there is a 5 second delay before the sound goes through with the HDMI option.
Open application, u hv to wait for 5 seconds then only can hear the sound, close app, then re-open, again u hv to wait for another 5 seconds. This is very annoying for me.
I also dun hv any HDMI device but my 4870GS.

dunno whether this latency is cause by our HDMI version 1.2 problem or not. Maybe we need other s2409w users who had plugged it to their console or blue ray player to verify this kind problem.

my office's Dell LCD also got one dead pixel. saw it few days after its bought. Anyhow - its one dead pixel out of five new LCDs. So dont worry
