5.0 out of 5 stars Good deal on an S-IPS monitor!, January 31, 2007

This monitor is one of the best models you can buy for the money! The S-IPS monitors are getting rare these days and are more and more replaced by the cheaper to manufacture TN-Panels. S-IPS panel monitors are known to have excellent viewing angles and color reproduction. They are most suitable for photo/ video editing.

The earlier models (Rev. 02) of the 2007wfp monitors had some problems with banding issues. These issues seem to be mostly fixed in the Rev. 03 models. There have been 2 different panels used in this monitor. S-PVA and S-IPS. The S-PVA panels are also very good, but have slightly different specs.
To find out what panel your 2007wfp has, you can go into the monitor setup menu:

1- Turn off your screen
2- Press simultaneously the 'Menu' and '+' button of the screen.
3- While holding the 2 buttons, press now the 'Power' button.
4- Once the screen in ON, unpress the 3 buttons.
5- Just press '-' button.

You can run a search on the panel code that is listed in the menu and find out what you received!
Best of luck!

3.0 out of 5 stars pretty, but not a monitor for photo editing, March 9, 2007

This review is from: CLOSEOUT: DELL UltraSharp 2007WFP 20.1-inch Widescreen Flat Panel LCD Monitor with Height Adjustable Stand - New Open Box (Electronics)

After reading that these monitors were made by the same manufacturer that makes the Apple Cinema displays, I purchased this monitor to replace my dying CRT. While watching DVDs nice and widescreen was a pleasure, I quickly noticed some problems that led me to return the monitor and go back to the drawing board.

The four corners of the monitor had bright spots like a light leak at each corner, and the contrast adjustments were insufficient to calibrate the monitor for photo editing, with shadows that were too dark. Reducing contrast so reduced the overall brightness that everything took on a grey muddy feel. After fiddling with it for a week, I returned the monitor and am back on the hunt.

Loved the look, the swivel screen, controls were easy to figure out, screen was nice and sharp and color was tasty, but this is not a budget alternative to a higher end display for anyone interested it using it for photo editing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great monitor, March 11, 2008

I just purchased this monitor (got it 10 Mar 08) from the Dell website ...so if you're in the market that is the place to go. I did a lot of research, review and fact-finding and I assessed my needs (I'm not a "gamer" and this is definitly not the screen to get for hardcore gaming) before I chose the Dell. My monitor arrived safe and sound, set-up was easy and the screen has no aberrations that I can see or find (dead pixels, back light leakage, etc).

The 2007WFP uses the S-IPS style of LCD ...some of the older 2007WFP's used either the S-IPS or S-PVA screen but the current lot are all S-IPS. The LCD screens are supposedly made by LG or Samsung and the screen is the same as the highly touted Apple Cinema series. If you do an online search for these types of display technologies, S-IPS and S-PVA, you will find them rated much better than the more prevalent and less expensive TN style of LCD. And finding an LCD with S-IPS or S-PVA technology is becoming more difficult especially at the Dell's price point. The 2007FPW monitor is replacing my aging Samsung Sync-Master 17 inch CRT. The image is beautiful and for basic PC operations (non-photographic or movie) this monitor is much better than my CRT ...the extra "real estate" on the 20 inch screen is great.

I am an amateur photographer and one of the reasons I bought this monitor was to be able to use it in photo editing with Photoshop. This monitor came up many times in online recommendations as a best "bang of the buck" LCD monitor for digital photography work. Is it the best? No, but then the best will run you well over a grand or two. To get the best image on any of these LCD screens, connect them using the highest quality signal available which for the 2007 is via a DVI cable (included in the box). If your video card doesn't have a DVI output, upgrade your card ...don't use the VGA connection or you'll be selling yourself short and probably won't be happy with what you see. Also, make sure your video card has the latest factory drivers. Another factor in maximizing your image, especially for photo work, is to use a color calibration tool (Spyder, etc).

Equally as handsome as the image is the overall physical appearance of the monitor; is it well built and has an incredibly rugged and versatile stand. The screen is anti-glare, having a matte finish to as opposed to some LCD screens that are glossy (such as the HP line); this will cut down reflected glare from desk lamps, etc.

Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase. Time will tell as to how my satisfaction continues but right now this Dell 2007FPW monitor is a winner.
