1907fp Panel

Any one know who makes the 1907fp Panel now?

I've read a lot about how some of them are samsung, some are AUO, and not 8bit and have backlight bleed.

Is that still the case? i'm unwilling to purchase one if its a shot in the dark for the samsung panel.

Thanks

    Not only the panel makes a difference but the circuitry & software does too. See comments on the 2407;-)

    HI

    i just recieved my 1907fp,,,thursday, and the panel was samsung.

    also, for some reason, my dvd,s look better on anolog than dvi,,,really don,t understand that,,,but that is the way it is....

    its a good monitor, though one would think dvi would look better in movies

    real lucky  on the dead or stuck pixels,, none yet......very happy about that

    my book that came with it stated that it was 700 to 1 contrast ratio, as the samsung meets this specification

    Hmm

    thanks!

    anyone else?

    AUO panels still being shipped?

    i would be willing to pay extra for the samsung panel, but i like the dell stand and the usb ,and how it matches with everything else.

    thanks

    this is how i determined my monitor panel
     
    hold the - menu,+ buttons, and then hold the -power button , all three at the same time, and let the monitor power on
     
    after the montor powers on,  hit the menu button
     
    on top of the menu screen, i had my panel listed
     
    SMG V4T05-
     
     
    I have read others that went into the osd menu,,,and clicked a certain tab in there, but this option was not available on mine for some reason...dell must have changed this

    Thanks Man

    Anybody from Dell looking at this?

    Can you confirm what panel are you using inside the 1907fp?

    I want to buy two, and i need them to be the same, not from two different batches AUO/Samsung.

    If i'm going to ge tthe AUo panel, can there be some guarantee to get two of the same?

    Thanks

    overall,  i like the 1907fp,,, though it still puzzles me why analog looks better playing dvd,s than dvi...i would have thought it would be the complete opposite...also, dell only ships this with a anolog cable.

    i am upgrading from a viewsonic vp171b, a 17inch lcd i bought a couple of years ago...its amazing how 2 inches will increase montior size, but it does..seems like the 1907 is very large compared to my vp171b....my viewsonic is a very good monitor, though it was shipped with a dead pixel, green color.....

    as for color reproduction, i would give the edge to the viewsonic i have, but realize that it was a denser pixel screen, so the comparison is probably unfair

    i had looked at the widescreen 20inch, ,,but i do a lot of surfing, play an occasional game,,,,and thought the 1907 was the better choice....

    also , with anolog, you have more ajustments in the menu configuration...i am using a blueish tint configuration,,,with some ajustments to pixel, brightness and contrast....think i have it just about what looks best..
