Question about the 2007wfp and 1907 fp
I'm in the market for my first LCD and I have been reading reviews and, over the past couple of days, have been reading lots of reviews on BenQ's, Viewsonics, Samsungs, and Dell's. I really like the Dell monitors, but the banding issue on the 2007 worries me. I know there is a firmware fix (A02), but apparently that only works in desktop mode. Can movies and games still be played in this mode? I don't like the fact that I can't use the other 2 modes because of the banding issues. That is why I'm now looking at the 1907fp. I really want the 2007, but with its problems and the price of the 1907...the 1907 is looking good. Is the 2007wfp still worth it even with its problems?
- Yes you can do everything in Desktop mode. I even play some games (where the brightness is too dark in Desktop mode) in Gaming mode and banding is not noticeable because it was a fast-paced game CS:CZ.You make it sound like the 2007WFP (A02) has heaps of problems...(btw if you don't need HDCP, internal aspect ratio control or an adjustable stand research the Viewsonic VX2025WM)

- That vx2025 was another monitor I'm looking at. And I am making it seem like the 2007 has loads of problems because 95% of the threads I've read on the internet complain about how the banding is terrible and ghosting is bad ( but i think that is a monitor to monitor problem, not overall)
- Can you post a link to a review that complains about the ghosting of the Dell 2007WFP? I haven't been able to find one that thinks it is horrible. Most think it is a great performer when it comes to ghosting, putting it on par with some of the "better" 8ms displays out there.
- I didn't say ghosting was an overall problem, it just seems to be individual problems. And the ghosting isn't what is turning me off from monitor, its the banding. I browsed Hard Forums for a good 3 days, searching for different monitors, etc. Thats where I came across a few people complaining about ghosting.
- Well, the banding is fixed now, so that is a nonissue. Yes, it is only fixed in "Desktop" mode, but you don't even need the other modes, tbh. All they are is gamma and brightness adjustments. I watch movies and play games in Desktop mode perfectly fine.
