2407FPW needs better quality control. Need an exchange due missing functionality

This has been a frustrating experience with these monitors. First one I got was really bad, very bright and way too much overdrive. Got it replaced with another 2407 which was much better than the original one. The second 24" monitor is MISSING the contrast adjustment it only has brightness. Returned the original so I was down to a single 24" monitor.


Decided that I wanted a dual 24" monitor setup, so ordered another 2407 on Monday. Just received the new monitor and the monitor is much better than either of the first two. Guess what, this monitor has BOTH the brigthness and contrast adjustment.


How is it that one of the monitors is missing the contrast adjustment while the other has the contrast adjustment? All three monitors are Rev A04.


Would appreciate someone from DELL contacting me to get my 2407FPW that is missing the contrast adjustment replaced with one that is not missing functionality. I am still within my return period. Thanks

    I found this here in the manual.

    NOTE: When using DVI source, the contrast adjustment is not available.

    Are you using different inputs for the two monitors...i.e. DVI for one and VGA for the other? On my 2007WFP's, there is no contrast adjustment feature when using the digital/DVI input, but there is for the VGA input. That's how they're made.

    I've been using this monitor for a while now ( I've also been looking at this forum for same amount of time )

    Yes the monitor is bright, So you adjust it according to your set up, lighting conditions.

    No contrast in DVI - Standard. It's not a fault.

    It seems some users are really pedantic and will return a monitor without looking at instructions or collabrating the monitor.

    I noticed slight banding (A04) in Photoshop with my design work. ....I could have returned it but the better option is to install the 2407 profile and adjust PS to that. Looks great now.

    There's alot of fuss about nothing with the 2407....but that's just my experience of the situation.

    My bad, I should have read the manual.
    I am picky about the 2407fpw after getting used to the awesome image quality of the first generation DELL flat panels (2001FP and 2405).
    Thanks for mentioning the DVI & contrast.
