there we go. finally ;)
Received a minty white PAL A1200 complete with Magic Pack box, WB3.1 and all the Magic Pack software bundle.
Machine looks virtually new . I assume the seller had bought it from Amigakit as either refurbed or new old stock.

Now to replace that nasty Escom era case sticker with the proper Commodore badge.
:cool:
Just purchased a Dell U2711 monitor. Should be arriving in the next 2 days. Will take some pictures of it running once it arrives. :)
Got it at a bargain price, but still the latest A07 version, is new, sealed and with the official Dell 3 year 0 defective pixel replacement warranty.
Can't wait for this huge beast of a monitor to arrive. I had been toying with the 30" version but I've used one and they are just too big for me. The 27" version is a great compromise as the horizontal resolution is the same as the 30" and you just lose 160 pixels off the height, so you still have a huge 2560x1440 resolution display, identical to the Apple 27" Cinema display (and 27" iMac), but with even higher quality and no such restrictions for inputs or menu options.
The stand is also brilliant compared to anything cheaper, with an all metal construction that can be altered in all directions, and is very study.
The number of inputs and menu options was also a big clincher for me. It has nearly every input type you could ever think of, including 2 DVI ports, HDMI, VGA, Composite, Component, and even has a 4 port USB hub with a card reader built in.
I was also initially considering the U2411 24" monitor, as it has a similar array of inputs and features, but the upgrade from a 1980x1080 to a 1980x1200 resolution wasn't really worth the money, even though for graphics work it has the same colour accuracy and factory calibrated sRGB and Adobe RGB gamut modes. It is still a nice monitor for professional graphics use, as well as gaming.
As well as for PC use I'm going to be trying it out with my PS3 for some gaming and Blu-Ray viewing. Plus I will also be testing it with an Amiga to see if it has the same support for all of the Amiga video modes as the U2411 does. I think 27" will be overkill and too large for using an Amiga with all the time, but it will be cool if it does work the same way.
Hehe yeah, no point having the extra size if you have to sit further away from it to use it!
Yeah, just a shame it's 16:9 aspect ratio rather than 16:10. (With a monitor that supports pivot, 16:10 is a better bet for portrait mode.) Mind you, given the choice I'd still go for 4:3 or 5:4 aspect ratio.Quote:

Yup, the stand is one of the things that impressed me most with the U2311.Quote:

Does the U2411 actually exist? I've seen a U2410 listed but searching for the U2411 I only find rumours that one might at one time have been just around the corner!Quote:

I'll be very surprised if it doesn't! Fingers crossed anyway :)Quote:

Most definitely - keep us posted :)Quote:

It definitely does exist because a friend has one and I've seen it running. I don't think it is in production any longer looking around, although some sellers still have them available on ebay. The U2410 is still being sold though and they are basically the same monitor with the same panel and inputs, plus full Amiga support.Quote:

The new U2412 is to be avoided though as it cuts a lot of costs by using a cheaper panel. Same resolution but LED backlit and not 10bit colour or any good for colour accurate work like the 2410 is. They have also reduced the range of ports to a single DVI, VGA and display port, and swapping the touch controls for buttons so they don't look nice. It is still a nice Gaming and general 24" monitor with a 1980x1200 resolution, and a cheaper price to reflect this, but just not good for anything more pro.
The U2410 is still for sale on the Brazilian subsidiary. :thumbsup: I'll certainly grab one for me!:nod:
[EDIT] GAH! The price reach a Blizzard PPC on here!:blink:
Can the U2410 show the picture from an amiga or Minimig w/o scandoubler?
