  Intensity output preview on Dell 2407WFP

  Posted by Walterdr on February 8, 2007 at 3:03 pm

  Hi,
  I have a simple question.
  Can I use my Dell 2407WFP as preview monitor
  whit Intensity, using a HDMI/DVI cable??
  And if yes, can I see only in HD resolution or in SD pal too??
  I’ll lose audio but the quality will be the same, I suppose.
  Thx so much and sry for my english!!

  Kristian, Could you please elaborate as I was planning on doing this with the Intensity as well. I am currently using an Abit motherboard with onboard HDMI 1.2 out to a 24″ Dell monitor at 1920×1600 and it works fine. This system is however not the one that I am installing the Intensity into.

  I am installing the Intensity into an Abit 680I motherboard and I was hoping to use one of the new 2407WFPs that I just purchased.

  Thanks – Joe

  Hi Joe,

  Couple of factors:

  1) Intensity outputs YUV not RGB. Your Dell or any computer monitor will expect an RGB signals via DVI-D.

  2) Intensity does not adjust the framerate of the video to what is expected by the monitor unlike the HDLink.

  Thanks – Joe
