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
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..

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