This (reduced for posting) is what 2D screens looked like originallyhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/130421.jpgHowever the panel is just a window which you can grab the edges of and resize to look correct as far as turning the oval gauges into round dials:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/130422.jpg

I would sugges move the resized panel window to the left and place the radio panel to the right.and you are good to go. The black on either side is a waster real estate.

That's a good idea Manny, then resize the radio panel to fit properly. It won't look weird if it's a little out of shape. billg

Hi there,I'll take some screens once I have some time and am at home. In the meantime: Is there anything in particular (as in a particular add-on or scenario)you would like to see?Regards,Alex

Alex,Thank you for replying.Yes, definitely some screenshots of the 2d Panel and the Virtual Cockpit. I would like to see some shots in and outside of the aircraft as some of the posts indicate that you can see more real estate. I am also concerned about the refresh rate and response time. Are you seeing any ghosting with 12 ms response time and at what refresh rate are you running at 1920x1200? Thank you.

[Guest aihuntersandgatherer]

Well, ...as far as the ghosting goes: FS is not too fast anyway so the issue would be more prominent in other applications. So far I've watched DVD's, HDTV, and played BF2 without ever noticing any ghosting at all :)In regards to the refresh rate: 60Hz is standard for this screen (as is for most TFT's).Please give me some time for the screens, I'm pretty busy at the moment, but I won't forget ;-)Cheers,Alex

Yes, I'd like to see more screenies too if you'd be so kind. I'm days away from ordering a 2405 though I will likely go with a refurbished. Thanks.

Where are you purchasing a refurbished unit? How much are they selling them for? Thanks.

Dell Outlet -- http://outlet.us.dell.com/Dispatcher?targe...ory=MO&tgtSeg=II have a friend who has this monitor. Though he's not a simmer, he's happy with it. I may also get on the horn with Dell sales and try to see how cheap they'll sell me one new.

Here is my setup with the 2405. I too absolutely love it. I can't wait to put another 24 next to the one I have now... This monitor is made for VC flying.http://home.comcast.net/~psolk/3monitorsa.htmlSelf BuiltLiquid CooledAMD 64 4000 @27002 Gigs Corsair XMS CL2Dual 7800GTXOC Non-SLI 515/1325Dell 24 inch widescreen LCD 1920*1200Dual Samsung 930B MonitorsRaid-0 Dual SATA Maxtor 120 Gig Hd'sSB Audigy 2 ZS

Ultra cool!!! Now you got me thinkin' about an additional, smaller LCD or two.What do you use for a joystick or yoke?Ed Lin, D.O.S.

Very nice setup!!! I am seriously considering the Dell 24 inch now. Do you have to use special software to get the views on your 19' LCD's? Also, are you having to stretch your 2D panel? I have not done any VC flying but I think the 24 inch would make me want too. Definitely more real estate. Thanks!
