Dell Ultrasharp monitors

Gaming, Monitors and Displays submitted by gamer128 Yesterday

Could Dell make a monitor, that is specifically designed for gaming? And support consoles? And isn't very expensive? Because most HDTV's don't have very sharp quality, and those that do, are very expensive. 2 Comments »

MLG Gaming

Dell, Gaming submitted by gamer128 4:28pm

You know what I think? I think that Dell should be more involved with gaming. They already have one of the greatest o buy desktops ever, the XPS 630. Plus more gamers would want to buy from Dell. Maybe even hosts their own gaming competitions for XBOX LIVE. 3 Comments »

XPS Laptops

Dell, Gaming, New Product Ideas, XPS products, Laptops submitted by gamer128 4:37pm

I think this is the one question that most mobile gamers want to know. Will Dell make a laptop like the M1530 that is a gaming laptop? I don't mean like high end, just a laptop that can do well with most PC games out there. Think...imagine if Dell could partner up with NVIDIA to make a graphics card that is powerful to handle...like Crysis! And that when that graphics card gets old, or the motherboard, you could just get an upgrade just like the desktops. 3 Comments »

left hand cooling vent

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Gaming submitted by c_alexandre Jun 24

when you play WoW your left hand rests on the console sometimes for hours. Dell has the only WoW dedicated gaming system so i think you can understand that when you have your 1st three fingers of your left hand on the "W","D", and "A" keys this rests the heal of your hand on the same place for hours creating a Hotspot. perhaps a raised/vented area would work or at least a large vent to the front or side of this area would help.

gives a higher graphic card for 15 inch XPS laptop

Gaming, XPS products submitted by hanlya May 6

it is better if Dell offer a gaming product with high graphic in 15 inch laptop..for example m1530..dell should offer for an additional better video card such as 8800Gt or 8700 GT..and this m1530 will be like kaboom...1 of the best 15 inch laptop ever build..so i suggest dell put additional option for higher graphic or just build a new product 15 inch laptop with gaming characteristic..or maybe m1535..with a better video card.. 2 Comments »

Bring back Nvidia cards to the Ubuntu Desktop

Desktops, Gaming, Linux submitted by akincer Jun 27

The Ubuntu Inspiron only uses integrated Intel graphics. From experience, I can tell you that for gaming, this is completely unacceptable. Bring back Nvidia cards as an option. Without it, the system is not acceptable for purchase. 11 Comments »

Upgradable graphics in the m1530!!! (no more soldered cards)

Gaming, XPS products submitted by theideasman Mar 4

Im sick of my laptop graphics getting old and then finding that i need to buy an all new system. Cant the xps come with modular cards (mxm) that can be upgraded direct from dell if the consumer requests a graphics upgrade. Of course there will be a cost involved but surely it will be better than having to buy an entire new system! 3 Comments »

Updating XPS M1330

Advertising and Marketing, Gaming, Sales Strategies, XPS products submitted by gattomorbido 12/13/07

Only few days (15 gen 08) and Apple will presents the new 12/13.3" MacBook (Pro?):
thinner, lighter, more powerful.

M1330 will lose the 1st position?
No longer the best e thinner 13.3" notebook ever?
Absolutly no! Don't!!!
M1330 was the best and should remains!

Again, who says little size = little powerful?

Let us choice if we want power or battery duration!
We need a very portable system yes, but it must be full powered!!!

Little AND powerful!

So, Mr. Dell, please updating the M1330, the REAL competitor of MacBook (pardon, Macbook was the competitor... :) with thin features:

- video card 8600gs or superior (see LG P300: they made it!)
- gigabit lan (why only 10/100 lan? chipset support gigabit!)
- webcam better, at least 1.3mpx (LG P300 again)
- no glare effetc option (I want to see what happens on screen!)

I'm waiting your updating BEFORE buy my next Dell notebook.
I must change my Inspiron soon, very soon, so be quick! 8 Comments »

Give a choice of either Ati or Nvidia gpu's

Gaming, Desktops and Laptops submitted by theideasman Mar 23

Everyone is a fanboy to one particular brand and prefers their products, so why do some desktops and a lot of laptops only have one option. There should be at least one Ati card and one Nvidia card available for each machine so people dont have to go for the brand they dont want. Its only fair... 6 Comments »

TrueLife LCD Display Screens Should Have An Optional Anti-Glare Coating (like camera lenses & eye-glasses)!

Gaming, Monitors and Displays submitted by hjwasson 05/09/07

There are many posts regarding the fact that TrueLife displays are far too reflective for brightly backlit conditions. User responses to the complaints suggest getting a business class display with anti-glare filter - but these displays have not kept pace, are too dim, have poor pixel response rates and often have poor color rendition.

My suggestion is a compromise: Have the option to have TrueLife displays with an Anti-Reflective coating applied - just like those found on photographic optics or eye glasses! Such coatings are not as effective as traditional anti-glare matte screens, but significantly reduce reflections without greatly impacting light transmission (which is why they are used in photographic optics - they actually enhance contrast and reduce unwanted light scatter). They would moderately eliminate most reflections, while still allowing TrueLife displays to be bright and punchy.

 http://www.firstvisionmedia.com/uww/2005_ar/enhance_properties.html 
 http://www.firstvisionmedia.com/uww/2004_ar/ar_product_showcase.html

I'm sure that Seiko, Hoya, Essilor, iCoat and others would vie for the chance to open up a new market for their coatings, and thus bring more profits to them (and lower costs to us). Some IdeaStorm members might be concerned about scratching the coating - but consider:

1. LCD panels are already prone to scratching, and care must be taken in their cleaning.
2. Modern Anti-Reflective (AR) coatings, with their multiple layers, are far more resistant to scratching than they used to be.
3. AR coatings tend to repel dust, so the need for cleaning would be less frequent.
4. With the use of a microfiber cloth (and mild liquid cleaning formulations when needed), the AR coating and display will remain pristine for many years of service.

If you would like to see modern Anti-Reflective coatings applied to TrueLife displays (as an optional upgrade) please promote this post.

More Choice of Graphic cards on (Home & Home Office) Laptops and Desktops.

Desktops, Gaming, Inspiron products submitted by fahdriyami Feb 3

Sometimes when looking for a reasonablly priced notebook or desktop i would go for the Inspiron range, and im a gamer, when customizing my pc i just wonder why is there only one or two choices of graphic cards?!, most of them support the same bus type, so why not offer them?! eg, the best Inspiron notebook you offer only comes with a GeForce 8600M GT, can you just offer an 8700M with it at least? i know you did it for a reason and its probably a good one but im just curious...thinking of it, an Inspiron with an 8800M sounds ok :D 3 Comments »

Upgrade monitors with a HDMI input.

Gaming, Monitors and Displays submitted by nordoelum 04/05/07

I would love to see the Dell 2407WFP and other dell monitors with a HDMI input. Since more or more product is using this interface. Along with the new movie formats getting a bigger and bigger share. For those who have a gaming console, would agree on this idea completely. I myself am using a Xbox 360. If I had a Dell 2407WFP with a HDMI input, I would have bough the HD DVD addon. 8 Comments »

Jump on New Hardware Before Competitors

Dell, Gaming, XPS products submitted by shiloh.meyers 02/17/07

Dell would benefit tremendously in their XPS line if they were to release new hardware as soon as developers released it. Take for example the Santa Rosa Intel laptop chipset. I believe that at least in Dell's XPS line, they should put it into their computers ASAP. I Dell will wait sometimes to see how hardware will fare in the general computing market, but with the XPS line, which is supposed to cater to gamers and more experienced computer users, I don't believe it benefits Dell to wait on the release of the hardware while their competitors grab all those gamers who were waiting specifically for that hardware and release it first. We, as gamers, already know what's coming out, and we'll want it as soon as it can be obtained. I think if Dell were to release it that early, gamers and more knowledgable computer users would make it worth the effort. Comment »

XPS 830 H2C (QX9650 + quad SLi) !

Desktops, Gaming, Sales Strategies submitted by zanlok Mar 10

Do this again, Dell. Release a killer system with standard features and an awesome paintjob. Don't shunt (shun) serious gamers off into Alienware systems. Nvidia has enabled tri- and quad- SLi for a while now and still nothing. You've put SLi into notebooks - great. Now start maxing out SLi in the Desktops! Furthermore, don't make us trick out a base model with a low teaser price just to find out what a REAL rig will actually cost. Have a system actually starting at the $4,999 pricepoint with a great package starting at:
      •   Penryn Extreme QX9650
      •   Standard 8800 GT quad SLi
      •   4GB RAM

It should really only be offered with Vista64 Ultimate because the addressable / available memory should be the full 4GB... and make available an option to upgrade to 8GB. Also offer an upgrade to quad GTX cards (and the 9800 GTX whenever that's available). Offering a motherboard with dual-proc abilities would be awesome, as well.

Next upgrade to the new XPS 1330. The 1337. The Leet!

Gaming, Sales Strategies, XPS products submitted by khalbrae 07/28/07

Think of how many gamers would buy an XPS 1330 if we changed the single end digit to a 7? The 1337 would be a hotcake seller. Especially if we upgraded the video card to one with 256 onboard video memory and the future (maybe 6 months from now) bigger solid state hard drive! Think of the possibilities! "My computer is 1337! I loves the 1337!

You could even market it as such!

You could even call it the "Elite" XPS 1337. The product sells itself. 8 Comments »

Dell Sponsored Gaming Tournament

Gaming submitted by sid 02/23/07

Dell has two great gaming PCs the XPS700 & XPS700H2C. I think Dell needs to get the word out how great these systems are! Dell should sponsor a gaming tournament in several major cities around the country like Chicago, New York, LA, ect. Everyone plays on one of these systems! The grand prize could be a custom XPS700H2c with Mr. Dell’s signature and a custom paint job that fits with the city. Or a big pile of cash… that would be great to. 1 Comment »

More Options on the XPS 630

Gaming, Sales Strategies, XPS products submitted by darkness_flame May 4

Personally, I like the XPS 630; it's only a few hundred more than making a similar computer yourself, but it has a really nice case, is put together for you, and comes under warranty. However, I would really like to see more options available on this computer, as well as some changes made.

Processor: Add more quad core options. You only choose between the cheapest, and one of the most expensive. I think Dell should allow the Q9300, Q9450, and Q9550 to be options. If none others, at least the Q9450; it is an extremely popular quad core processor, and could be offered at about $100 more than the Q6600 that is offered now.

Memory: As more gamers move towards Vista, they are realizing how the operating system can utilize more RAM. I would think the options for more RAM and higher speed RAM should be cheaper.

Graphic Cards: Add the option for the NVidia 9600GT. It is growing excessively popular, is cheaper than the 8800 GT and the 3870, and has nearly as much speed as the 3870. It has all of that while still offering relatively high speed. I think the XPS 630 would benefit from having this card as a slightly cheaper option that still provides a lot of performance with less power.

Motherboard: This is an option that I have never seen used. However, I would like to see Dell offer the NVidia 750i chipset as an optional motherboard upgrade. If offered for a $50-100 upgrade, it could allow the buyers to better utilize the full speed of the Wolfdale and Yorkfield cores, as well as have better performance overall.

I believe that if those ideas were implemented and put into action, Dell would further draw in the PC Gaming crowd. 5 Comments »

Lan Party Frag Box. A small form Shuttle type box for Gamers

Gaming, XPS products submitted by snowbob230 02/18/07

It would be cool if Dell added a gamers Lan Party small shuttle type box with SLI capabilities.

Also it would be cool if they were water cooled.

Just an idea for the XPS line. 2 Comments »
