2007 wfp banding problem

Hello,
 
I brought my 2007 wfp over 4 months ago, and it had banding problems (also a hair stuck inside the screen) anyways. I am wondering if I can still get a replacement through dell since it has been 4 months since I brought it. I have Rev A00, and I heard getting a Rev A02 fixes the banding problem? is this correct? Do the new ones have any other problems that might be more significant then banding? Problems which may include but are not limited to, ghosting, backlight bleeding, blurred text, image persistance.

    Ok I was too fast to posting without reading the FAQ hehe. Anyways do the new A02 monitors have more problems? Sometimes you switch something hoping to get it fixed, but you get more problems in return.

    Hi,
    I received two replacement 2007WFP A02s for two original A00s. I thoroughly tested them all, including side by side comparison gradient tests. My experience is that A02 does exactly what it is supposed to do - eliminates banding in Desktop mode.

    I just recieved my 2007WFP revision A02 and it has extreme banding acording to these tests in desktop mode. I really liked it, but I have ordered a return for it and I will be buying a viewsonic instead. This is not acceptable.

    Please don't buy the 23" viewsonics as they have their own problems - use google. Other viewsonics a quite good imo & the new 22" is also deemed as very good.
    If you arn't satisfied you could try what I have got sammy 244T - very satisfied.
    cheers

    "you could try what I have got sammy 244T."

    If it doesn't hitch sporadically in games or tests. Try pixel persistence analyzer.

    Or compress the dark end of the grayscale too much but,that can be adjusted.

    Good Day:).

    So I am assuming the newer Rev. A02 2007 WFP don't have any significant problems at all?

    Probably should not have mentioned my monitor :) but it has the same panel as the 2407, &
    no I don't get any problems at all & I have ran all the tests mentioned on the faq s + some.
    I use mine for adobe creative suite cs 2, ulead photo impact, vidio editing, & many latest games
    & I am ultra fussy. JFYI all buttons, modes, dvi, d-sub etc. work:) Sorry, I am not trying to cause any
    offence here as I probably will buy a dell 24"/30" when all the problems are fixed.
    Is there a possibility that samsung & dell made an arrangement where panels 'down the scale' are
    sold to dell cheaper such as in ram/cpu sorting? I don't know if there is any truth in this but with the
    problems stated here since the launch of 2007/2407 I was a fair bit curious.
    Must be the direct way I come out with things as I really don't intend to rub it in or skite. In fact I
    usually try to assist people with their computer problems on & off forums.
    This really reminds me of that saying - 'Is the owner pleased ? If so don't worry about it!'
    cheers everyone

    Rob
    'Hitch' I assume he meant 'hang slightly' due to possible lag - NO & I have run all the tests that have been listed on this forum + some:smileymad:  Slightly possible he is, maybe referring to ghosting of which I have not had worry about, because, to my experience this is, for practical purposes, a non existant issue. This monitor is far more use to me with my applications then my 21" sony crt.. fyi This monitor has surpassed my expectations but I did not want a 'mines better then yours' slanging match. I will answer sensible questions but other than that you can have it all to yourselves:)
    Good Day

    Nothing personal, this is on of those sammy 244T review findings.

    "If it doesn't hitch sporadically in games or tests. Try pixel persistence analyzer.

    Hitch is a momentery freeze and release. Ghosting is ghosting:)

    If you don't have any of those issues, that's great.

    I was waiting for you to disprove their findings.

    It's the only other LCD I considered, before purchasing the Dell's.

    Now everyone knows it's a good panel from Samsung. How is that warranty?
