UNSOLVED
Dell 2007WFP - is this normal?
Well I just received my Dell 2007WFP ... it's revision A01 and has no dead pixels, practically no gradient banding over DVI.

Now, while this all sounds miraculous, there is something that stands out to me as unusual ... but since this is my first LCD i don't know if it's normal or not.
when i look directly at my 2007WFP on a solid black screen, it looks totally normal, as shown in the following picture:

now, when i start moving my head around even by the slightest bit, the black color starts to look like an orange glow. examine the following pics to see what i mean:

on a normal desktop with colors galore, you don't really notice this, but it's pretty noticable on a solid black screen or in something like a dark game. is this an issue i should consider worth a replacement? these pictures don't really do it justice, the "glowing" is more or less what i would call extreme. is this just a trademark of the S-IPS panel?

I got the same monitor with rev a001 as well.
Do you guys experience any Power Saving mode issue? It worked flawlessly on my previous monitor, but on this Dell, it remains in green mode...andocrates

This is a contrast problem, that's why they lock the contrast. zero the control (mine is at 110% and then work the other settings I bet it'll clear right up.MonitorChicago

I think I found the issue:
I was using the VGA cable from my previous monitor, when I used the cable provided by Dell, it worked!
Didn't know there could be differences among VGA cables....- You need to be in VGA to be able to ajust contrast. In DVI it's done by the Graphics card drivers. But, it doesn't matter since what you describe is NOT related to contrast. Changing it to anything will NOT change in any way the issue you describe. It's part of the panel design and can't be change. Any S-IPS panel will exhibit the same behavior.
