A new model flat panel 1907FP is being introduced soon, presumably replacing the 1905FP. This version is already available in many of the non-US Dell sites, and the user guide is posted on the US Dell site. I'm in the market for another flat panel, and with the imminent changeover want to know more.
Is there anyone who knows and can share whether the new 1907FP uses an 8-bit panel with 16.7M colors, or a 6-bit panel with 16.2M colors (and dithered)? This spec isn't in the user guide, and it matters to me since true 8 bit panels usually have better color quality (the 1905FP uses an 8 bit panel).
The published specs on the 1907FP are mixed compared to the 1905FP: faster (8 ms gray-gray, vs 20 ms spec), but lower contrast ratio (500:1) and narrower viewing angles. The faster panel should be better for motion, but if the switch is to a 6-bit panel I'd prefer a 1905FP.
The thread talks about the AUO and SAMSUNG panels used in 1907FP in Australia, both seem to be 6-bit. However no information is given about what panels will be available in the U.S., which is what I am interested in. I will receive my 1907FP soon along with my E150 dual core purchase and I will update later. I hope it will be SAMSUNG. If not, I will keep my current 1905FP and sell 1907FP.
