2007wfp question for DELL-ChrisM

I send you a private message with necessary info for flashing my 2007wfp lcd, how long will it take till I get the flashed monitor at my house?

Gaming and watching DVD's is absolutely HORRIBLE on this LCD, I'm glad DELL finally decided to fix it or I was going to return it completely and never buy DELL again

I paid $488 for the 2007wfp and such severe banding is completely UNACCEPTABLE


Below is a screenshot of what Splinter Cell Chaos Theory looks like on 2007wfp, notice the extreme banding on the walls, the game looks 8bit

    You can't see it in your image because its a "Screenshot" an image made from the signal being sent to your monitor - its not a picture of how your monitor displays it, that would require a camera in order to record what your eyes sees - the pc has no clue what the monitors actual image looks like.

    ChrisM, I had not received a response as some other did, so I did not know and contacted Dell via Chat.  I was specific about the problem/issue and they sent another monitor that is due to arrive today.  Since I don't think that the monitors with the firmware fix have arrived at Dell's hubs, should I leave the package that receive today unopened and just send it back?

    Also, I am unable to change my service tag number in preferences here in the forum, is there a workaround for this?  It keep putting an old service tag number back in there...

    Another question.
    I sent a private message to ChrisM last Friday. Are we supposed to get a reply or confirm or something?

    If you sent a private message to Chris, it should still be in your "Outbox" (this is the Dell Community Forum Messenger equivalent of "Sent items"-- the message WAS delivered).

    Moreover, in your Outbox, when viewing the message, there will be a "status" line showing when the message was read (presumably only if your message was read).

    To find this stuff:
    - Once you've logged in, you can view your Outbox by clicking on "No Messages" on the top-bar.
    - Then, in a new window that appears, click on the "Outbox" tab.
    - Then, find the message you sent to Chris, and click on its subject line.
    - Now you should be able to view the timestamp from when you sent the message and the message's status.

    Mad2007FPWowner,

    Great question. I will ask at the next conference call.

    So, we should assume that everything is in motion?  When it says, "dispatchers set up exchange" should we expect this to happen with or without our involvement?  In other words, should we be expecting a call to arrange for the shipment of the new monitor, or will it just happen?
