I love it...I have it at 25% brightness (and it is still bright!) I have it in digital input so what difference is it to analog?

Also, any care tips for the monitor or anything I should know about flatpanel monitors? (This is my first one to own)

Edit: Is it possible for me now to view TV, movies, games, (etc) in HD now? (Using DVI input)

Edit 2: It seems like the stand is stuck and that I cannot get the screen to slide up or down (not tilt up or down) The button on the back is suppose to lock and unlock it...but now it won't slide up or down! It's stuck all the way at the bottom :(

Help...
 
Sweet. 👍

I was going to buy one for the Xbox 360 so we could play in high definition. Then we decided to buy a LCD TV instead. :D You get more for your money to be honest.
 
Here's a tip: don't punch the screen. It isn't a CRT :lol:
 
What's up with the vertical positioning?

edit: wow. Nevermind. For some reason, my thing was scrolled down and all I saw was the vert. Doesn't look very wide from its horizontal position, though. Is that because of your camera?
 
Looks nice! Is the vertical/Horizontal rotation handled by software or the monitor?

That problem was easily fixed...but how do I clean the screen properly?

Very carefully.

Most people say don't use solutions like Window cleaner on LCDs as it actually eats away at the protective covering on LCDs (personally I use Window cleaner). I've heard that water is the best route.

Use a lint free, non-abbrasive, soft cloth, and wipe gently.

PS: The title of this thread made me laugh; "Ahh, Problem!! I just got a Dell" :D
I do like their monitors, though..
 
I've never hand any problems with Windex.

And yeah .. the title got a laugh out of me as well :)

Windex? On an LCD?

I use water and a very soft cloth. Might try the 50/50 alcohol/water though.

Yep. I spray it on the cloth though, not the LCD (thats just stupid).
 
Isopropyl Alcohol and Water. Don't use too much water, though. You still want the alcohol smell.

The alchohal will actually eat away at your screen if used with too much potency; suffice to say, you'll want to be sure to water it down a bit.
