Information Dell 2007FP?
Hello everybody,
I would like to ask you something regarding the 2007FP.
Within one week I'm planning to buy 2x 2007FP or eventually 2x E228WFP (Dell Netherlands), but it looks like it will be two 2007FP's. What I understood sofar and found on different test sites, that it is a very good monitor with a lot of possibilities. However, looking on the forum I still see that this type has some problems to therefore I hope somebody can help me or clarify the following items:
- Is there still the banding problem and if so, how bad is it?
- Where is the plate made of; S-PVA or IPS?
- Do I need to inform Dell Sales Holland about the rev. number or is this always the latest version you get?
I think this will do.
I hope that I could get some help since its a lot of money and running into trouble after I bought it is not my favorate.
Thanks for any reply,
Angelique

Hi ChrisM, Thanks for your reply and answers. The only thing that I don't understand is the viewing angle. What I now is that the cheaper Dell monitors or better to say "budget types" like the E207WFP or E228WFP have TN plates. I believe that those plates have lower viewing angles then the S-PVA or IPS version. Due to the price I seen at so many forums and tests that the 2007FP is either PVA or IPS. Ok, you where clear in that, that Dell has no control over this what is shipped and probably it also depends where you live and where those are shipped to. However, what I understood from a S-PVA plates that those viewing angles are much larger then those of TN plates. The opposite in the Dell manuals (the link from you) is written. My question is, since I'm a little confused now. What info is right ... the Dell specifications or all the test results and information. Unfortunately I now from Dell after soo many year that sometimes the specifications are wrong. Are you albe to clarify this? Thanks in advance for your reply, Yours Sincerely, Angelique van Campen337

ChrisM, the S-PVA panel has a 1000:1 contrast ratio. So it does not meet the monitor specifications. How can Dell sell the same monitor with a two different panels when one is CLEARLY inferior to the other.

Hi joshforcier,Where can you see/find the panel details?Is this on the back side or seen via one of the menu options.Yesterday I ordered two 2007FP and we will see. Let's first start positively and wait what I get. I have already a good experience with two 1900FP (oldies).When the delivered 2000FP have problems and don't meet eachother standard like for example you're saying, I can contact Dell to replace one or else I simple return the 2007FP's.But .. first I wait and see what I get.337

Angelique.van.Campen,
Much larger? I do not think you will notice the 9 degree difference
20" monitors
TN viewing angle = +/- 80 (vertical), +/- 80 (horizontal)
IPS & PVA viewing angle = +/- 89 (vertical), +/- 89 (horizontal)
=====
joshforcier,
Let me be clear, your bagging on us because the other panel has a better contrast ratio? I would think you would be happy that in those cases we beat the minimum specification. The contrast ratio listed in the manual is saying your monitor will never go below a 800:1 contrast ratio.

Hi ChrisM,Suppose I get two different 2007FP's although I've no idea how you can see something like that (one S-PVA and the other IPS), are you able to bring the contrast down on the one that's too bright or is this wrong what I'm saying?Thanks for your reply.337

Why? Because the PVA panel is clearly inferior to the S-IPS. Don't pretend like you do not know this.337

- Is there still the banding problem and if so, how bad is it?
* No. This was fixed.
- Where is the plate made of; S-PVA or IPS?
Dell cannot choose a specific panel to be shipped. We do not have control over this. All monitor panels are guaranteed to meet our specifications as stated in the monitor manual.
- Do I need to inform Dell Sales Holland about the rev. number or is this always the latest version you get?
* They will have no idea what your asking. Read above.
