Dell goes bandy over 24-inchers

DELL IS FACING the wrath of disgruntled customers complaining about what they perceive as banding on some of its 24-inch screens.

Examples of the direct-seller's new range of 2407 screen have reared their heads in places as far and wide as as Japan and Poland, though rarely inbetween.

Now a reader writes of complain of banding on his Austalian Dell 2407wfp.

He said: "There is a ton of banding with a DVI connection, but virtualy none with VGA."

"A perfect black to white linear gradient looks like it is in 16-bit colour."

Users with 2007fp and 2007wfp screens have reported similar banding, which seems to relate to the DVI circuitry.

Dell is investigating, but denies any reported problems.

Besides the "annoying" banding the monitor is perfect, with "n'ary a dead pixel," our user reports. µ
