Here's a little update.
I got the Dell last week, after reading many stories about Dell doing a panel lottery and buyers not knowing whether or not they will receive a PVA or an S-IPS panel (with S-IPS considered superior to PVA).
Well, I got the S-IPS on the first try. 20" Widescreen is excellent, just like you guys said. Love the widescreen, it is in fact as tall as my 19" CRT but the widescreen rules.
Now...
These Dells are known for bad gradient banding as well as a flaw with the DVI connection. It actually looks better with VGA.
But the more bad reviews of the 2007wfp and better reviews I read of other monitors convince me I need to send this back and go with Viewsonic or Samsung.
I just can't get it to look the way I need it to. Just as bad, video stalls on it for some reason. I've got updated drivers and all that, so I"m kind of perplexed.
Further, the portrait mode doesn't even work because the right driver doesnt' exist. That sucks. Why can't Dell have the driver instead of my graphics card maker?
Anyhow, just wanted to share my woes with it.
My Planar at work, which somoeone pointed out is a TN type LCD panel, is sich a better picture than the Dell. It's crazy.
