heh, the reasoning behind the low price has become apparent. they are trying to flog it off as they have a newer version with a higher resolution. I notice the business section now points to the newer one only. if anyone still has their eyes set on this i'd probably be best to buy quickly; the offer says it's until the 29th, but at the rate they have been selling they might well run out of the old ones before that.

AlmightyCushion · 19-12-2008 1:45am

Do you have a link for the newer version?

Hmmm, looks nice but I think I'll stick with the samsung 2493 I was thinking of getting.

Ok I decided to postpone bed and test it out. Have my laptop hooked up to it now. everything looks great however there's a inch wide black border just on the right of the screen.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks.

edit: lol, just found the auto adjust button.
Everything's sorted!

Another edit: Can't get sound from my Xbox 360. The speakers that came with it don't seem to have an input.
They just contain a lead with a standard 3.5mm RCA male jack. Ok for plugging into laptop but I don't know how to get sound from my 360 on to the speakers.

The VGA output for the xbox 360 contains 2 sound leads that I have converted in a 3.5 RCA jack like above. Is there any way to xconnect two male RCA jacks?

Had a quick look and I'm guessing this is what I'm looking for?

I think you may have forgot a link

Strangely enough something like this will do they trick

How will that work?
The xbox VGA lead has a 3.5mm male output and so do the speakers.

Someone on hotdealsuk said one of these is what I need:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=34619

However Maplin wanted to 8 pounds to ship to Ireland.
Do Dealextreme sell those at all?

If not, could I order the one mentioned above? I stick the male into my PC and the xbox and speakers into the female? would that work?

Mr_Roger_Bongos · 19-12-2008 10:14am

Hi All, this looks like a great deal, even at €207 now!

Just wondering;

Is there a HDMI-in port? The specs say VGA and DVI?

Are all you guys using HDMI-out on your pc's to HDMI-in?

If this is the case then can you really get that HDMI quality with DVI?

Also, I have a mac, would i be able to hook this up?

I thought i was fairly tech savy, but the HDMI thing has thrown me a bit!

Both DVI and HDMI are digital connections and are capable of resolutions exceeding 1080p, so either should be fine. HDMI though is recommended as it is the latest digital video connection and offers more than its predecessors.

ixtlan · 19-12-2008 1:45pm

DVI and HDMI carry the same digital video signals. You can get HDMI<->DVI cables to connect different devices.

It's just a different packaging, and HDMI has audio connections also, which are usually not used on PC monitors.

HDMI has become the defacto standard for digital connections to TVs, but it may not become so for monitors since there is a new connector type called DisplayPort.

I've put an order into DELL for one of these, but I'm telling you, never again will I deal with this shower of muppets. I don't care if they are giving away stuff, it's the worst level of customer service I've ever encountered - ever.

Anyone think maybe with the deal ending on the 29th it may be due to go down further for the sales. I cant decide whether to buy now or chance it

At the rate they're selling I doubt they'd feel the need to reduce the price any further.

But I could be wrong.

well the thing is they are trying to just offload old stock quick to make way for the new model. Personally i'd say when the 29th comes around that will be the end of that model because they've already started selling the new one. but I don't know for sure... maybe the excess will end up in the outlet store or something...

I'm loving the monitor so far. have it connected to my laptop and it looks amazing, especially seeing as my laptop's integrated graphics card is sh1te.

Just waiting on the right part for audio so I can hook up my 360.

The splitter works by connecting two wires to the one point. Now seeing as the those two wires are connected to the same point they are in turn connected

So you plug your speaker cables into one end, your xbox sound into another and leave the male end empty

You can click to make it bigger

There were 2 offers: 1 for 20% off and 1 for 10% off which look to have run out i'm afraid

greenberet · 23-12-2008 1:11pm

Hi,

Just purchased one for these Dell™ S2309W monitors for €186.

Monitor works fine with a pc using svga cable.

I'm using a hdmi to dvi-d cable (purchased from Digibuys) http://www.digibuys.co.uk/Premium-Quality-HDMI-to-DVI-D-CABLE-p-173.html to connect a Siemens HD1 satellite receiver to the monitor.

The screen is just blank. I have tried changing the video sources using one of the buttons but without success. When I remove the hdmi to dvi-d cable (hdmi end) from the back of the satellite receiver, the Dell monitor display dvi cable disconnected.

I've tried the Siemens HD1 with a Nordmende 32" tv via hdmi to hdmi cable & it works perfectly indicating that the receiver is working ok.

I'm at a loss for what to do next.

Any ideas ?

Many thanks,

GB

I read something somewhere about monitors lacking something a TV has. Unfortunately I can't be any less vague, but I think it could be why the monitor won't display anything from a satellite receiver.

there's something strange going on. the small business section is showing a newer model with a higher resolution and a HDMI port. the home section still shows the old model though, which was supposed to have a 20% discount until the 29th. But the offer seems to be no longer there. It's weird. the price difference now between the new model and the old model is only 15eur which makes no sense either.

I ordered this on the 19th when they still had the 20%, and so far the site says my order is still being built. hope they didn't feck it up.

Same, but Dell rang earlier when I was out so I hope they arent going back on it now.
Are they allowed to do that even?

I have no idea myself. I think they can if they haven't billed your account already, which they usually don't do until it has shipped. Let me know anyway if you hear anything off them, and I'll do the same.

jayteecork · 03-01-2009 3:20am

coudl anyone possibly help.

I've had my laptop connected to this Dell monitor the last few week, no problems at all.
I unhooked it last night and earlier when I tried to reconnect via VGA the monitor keeps telling me what's going to power safe mode - ie it is receving no signal from the laptop.
I've tried a different VGA cable but no luck. I then connected my Xbox to the monitor via VGA and it worked no problem, so I presume the fault is with my laptop, I must have changed some settings or something.

I really have tried everything and the monitor cannot detect a signal coming from the laptop.

Anyone have any ideas?

You've probably tried this, but here goes anyway.

Reboot the laptop with the monitor connected. Then:

XP:
-Right click on desktop -> Properties -> Settings Tab. You should see two monitors in the pictogram.
- Right click and click "identify" to establish which one is the primary (in this case, your laptop monitor should light up with a big white number "1" or "2". Click on the secondary monitor.
-If it's faded in the pictogram, make sure you click yes if Windows asks you if you want to enable it.
-Ensure you've ticked "Extend my desktop to this monitor" but leave the primary monitor box unticked.
-Apply-> OK and see what happens.

Vista:
-Same as above, but from desktop right click -> Properties (iirc) -> Display Properties or something of that nature, it's the option at the bottom. From there it's identical to XP, iirc.

If none of this works, open any third-party graphics program you may have installed. Usually there's a link on your taskbar or when you right-click the desktop if there's third-party software installed.

yup, there was something weird with how that deal ended. they seemed to have pulled it. I ordered mine on the 19th while it was still there but it seems they had run out of stock by then, still waiting for it to ship, even though the delivery date is early next week.

Same with me - I got in just barely on the 20th
I think it was pulled the 23rd as was gone by Xmas eve if I remember right!
Guess they have OP to blame for to much demand

the odd thing is though the monitor is back up on the site at the original price. I thought they had pulled it completely for a day or two, although maybe i'm just mistaken. I was hoping they may have ran out and would have to ship the SP version :pac: although with it back listed i guess i was just dreaming

hazbot · 04-01-2009 11:25am

They appear to have a few of these models left on www.overclockers.co.uk but with shipping, the price will probably be about 200 euro or a little over.

They have other nice monitors on there too, tempted

i bought it this week and hope to get it next week

pauly3 · 16-01-2009 8:33pm

Mine arrived yesterday, having ordered it on Dec 16! Had received an email last week to say they had run out of stock and it would now come on or before Jan 26. The manufacture date on the back of the monitor says January 2009 in the Czech Rep. I wonder if they outsourced production to a third party? As far as I am aware the only other production facility is in Lodz, Poland. Anyway the monitor is lovely, with rich vibrant colours. You can tell it is a TN panel by the poorer contrast, blacks are not inky black like Dell's more expensive monitors. But you only notice this when you set the screen to black!

jayteecork · 17-01-2009 5:52am

Still can't get it working on my laptop after it was working on it for a couple of weeks. Think it's a problem with my laptop's puny graphics card - I cna't connect it to my TV anymore either. It's either the card or the VGA cable.

I can however connect my 360 to it and play in glorious full HD. Excellent colours and contrast.

I'm waiting on a gaming PC from Ankermann and can't wait to hook it up to the monitor. I'll be using DVI for that.

Great price i got it for, i noticed from browsing Dell's site you they were asking for an extra 400 euro if you wanted to add the 23" SW(****whatever it is) to your order on certain desktops.
