2407WFP Replacement on it's way
I just called dell and they are gonna send me out a replacement LCD to replace my 2407WFP A02. I explained in detail the faults i was experiencing, i also asked if the replacement i am getting would be resolved of these issues and she said "yes i'd say it would be". I also asked wether the replacement i get will be refurbished or brand new and she replied "yes it will be a brand new one"
I am highly anticipating the same issues with this replacement.... the issues i explained to her are as follows;
1. Banding still noticeable on vertical
2. Composite + Component Inputs have extremely poor quality (heavy banding,contrast, saturation,blur,)
3. LCD not seating perfectly horizontal
4. Pixel Flickering
Will let you know how my replacement goes, knowing my luck i will probs get a bunch of dead/stuck pixels :(

yeh my current one with issues is an A02 Made in China , Manufactur Date: June 06so maybe i need a July one? maybe this fixes most things, anyhow i am most interested in composite + component input fixes, 1080p support, pixel flicker fix, horizontal balance fix.341

Make sure there are no screws protruding from either of the LCD feet, mine had a balance issue i thought my desk wasn't level but I turned the monitor over to look at the feet and there was a tiny screw protruding, took the screw out and it sat perfectly level.341

How would one test out the bit depth of this panel?
I have a 2405 and I love it, and when I decided to go dual monitors I went with Dell due to their previous success with the 2405 panel and ordered a 2407. Nothing but problems since, but what would I see, what test would I run to show that the 2407 is only capable of displaying 6bit rather than 8bit. Remember I have both the 2405 and the 2407 so running such a test I should be able to see the difference, correct?341

well it will look better than a pure 6bit only panel, the dither helps a lot.341

I don't understand what the point would be in driving a 8bit panel 6bit+2bit dither over DVI, it would make sence and explain allot problems but why would they do this ?
Wouldnt the samsung be the same ?

My mistake...2407WFP is a true 8bit panel, not 6bit + 2bit dithering. It can display the full 16.7 million colors.

Ok after it took them a week to get the "next business day replacement" LCD to me it still has all the identical faults as my original (not suprising i know).still exhibit this on the replacement;1. Banding still noticeable on vertical2. Composite + Component Inputs have extremely poor quality (heavy banding,contrast, saturation,blur,)3. LCD not seating perfectly horizontalAlso i was specifically assured by dell my LCD would be a brand new one, and i got a refurbished one with marks and scratches all over the LCD and on the screen also....So now they wanna send me a 3rd! one as maybe the replacement had issues.... lol i think it clear now every 2407 is identical and has all the same faults! wake up and revise the thing permanently! or give everyones money back.
