2407FPW not seating level
Hey i just received my 2407fpw last night at like 7:30pm! and by then i was dissapointed thinking no way it would be delivered this time, but drivers was running late. I am pleased to say its an A02 Rev with no banding when in desktop mode! and no dead/stuck pixels :)
But one thing which is noticeable when looking at the srceen is the LCD looks to be slightly slanted down towards the right hand side.... i tried adjusting it but you can only turn the LCD one way (anti clockwise) so now my LCD sits a lil higher on the left and lower on right, i have measured it and its around a 12mm difference in height which is enough to notice it.
I don't really wanna send the LCD back as i don't want a new Panel because i don't wanna risk a) refurbished panel b) dead/stuck pixels c) other issues, and anyway i think the issue is with the stand.... so anyone have any suggestions as how i can tilt it the opposite way around 12mm's? and keep it in that position. Who ever designed the stand and panel connector obviously did a bad job....how can you only allow an LCD to turn 1 way? that is just stupidity lol no practicality thought into the design at all.
I will have another look when i get home at the stand and see what is able to be done...

- I have the same problem with my 2007wfp in portrait mode. It is not straight and leans to the left and have to prop up the left hand side of the stand by about 1cm to make it level.
On a side note I must say all of these problems with these monitors is just a reflexion of the problems I have been having over the last couple of years. I have found that virtually everything I buy now I have to check for quality control. It seems as though as competition hots up with the world wide market, quality control is going out the door.

bigards the LCD looks ok.. i did the chekeMON.jpg test and it displays it ok in desktop mode but in any other mode if i open the jpeg or if i run "TirealTFTtest" and do the RGBTest then i see all the colours just jump around all over the screen like asif the image is moving all over the place it looks absolutely awful.I am thinking of maybe returning my LCD for a refund as the product is false and misleading advertisement because if it has said resolutions and said features (modes etc) and fails to come close to industry standard quality when running in those modes then your entitled to full refund by law. But if aslong as the horizontal balance issue with the stand is fixed then i am happy to keep my LCD running in desktop mode....I for one don't think that crippling and disabling features that are important and you pay a high price for high-end LCD is fixing a Major issue/fault. I really wanted to use the other modes for when gaming and watching DVD's as thats the reason why i got the LCD in first place... its features and made for this purpose... if your gonna disable these then atleast take the price down.Please DELL hear your customers out and do something about the issue at hand that still exists and not by disabling important features to fix an issue. And if you are doing something to permanently address the faults with this LCD then atleast let the people know and do not continue selling faulty half working half not products...AssyrianKing

lol i feel for you... i got 3 and all 3 lean to the right all by about 10mm.... it's kinda funny that dell let alone all the other issues couldn't even manage to make the LCD physically sit straight LOL what a huge embaressment for dell haha poor dellAssyrianKing... I'm in the same boat as you, I purchased a 2407 and am dissatisfied with it.
Do me a favor though, being as this in fact is Dell's forum, try to keep posts a bit more respectful and "fact-oriented" with less flaming.EG: "LOL what a huge embaressment for dell haha poor dell"...
Posts like that simply reduce our chances of having a Dell engineer read our questions/concerns and respond to us with the answers we need... Save the flaming for some other forum that might welcome the Dell bashing.
I own several Dell products and am generally very happy with most of them. I don't really enjoy calling into Dell support and therefore count on these forums to be resourceful... especially when I am trying to resolve the issues I am currently having with my 2407 LCD.
So again, yeah we're all frustrated with this single LCD from Dell... but it happens, and the best way we can get them to listen to us is to post concrete facts without the wreckless flaming.
