not sure if it's just the 2007FPW, but check for reviews on the banding issue and stay clear from it if it has it.

Passive matrix. Some claim its 500:1 contrast ratio and not 700:1. Hmmh.

I have the 1907FP and I love it, infact I loved it so much I bought a second.

I also have a 2007FPW, it has the banding issue, and as far as I know Dell is currently working on a fix for it.

Here is what they look like on my desk :)

Holy crap man that's an awesome setup!!! :drool: Out of curiousity, what do you do that requires (or benefits from) that 3-monitor, ultra-widescreen desktop resolution?

Anyhow, the real reason for my post is a question for you: Can you confirm that the 1907 does NOT suffer from the color banding issue prevalent with the 2007 monitors? I'm building a gaming rig for my brother-in-law and I need to recommend a nice LCD monitor for no more than $350.

Neither of my 1907FP's have any color banding issue, at least not compaired to the 2007FPW which has horrible color bands that are easily visible in any game!

I used the monitor on the left for Email/AIM/Bittorrent/Winamp , I have all 4 of them up on that screen all the time. The center monitor I use for surfing and gaming, and posting on OCforums ;) , the right monitor I use for watching a TV show that I have on my PC (unless its widescreen) then I use the center monitor. I have really become addicted to this 3 LCD setup, I can't imagine how I lived with a CRT for so long!

ALSO , dell had a great deal on the 2007FPW, it was selling for about 354.xx , and now that they fixed the banding issue, that is a EXCELLENT price for this monitor! :thup:

I noticed your keyboard and mouse resemble mine. I got the Saitek Eclipse Keyboard & Razer Diamoundback (blue). What do you have? Also do you think i should buy a 2007FPW or the 1907?

Get the 2007 if you are a gamer, I would never game again on anything that isn't wide screen :)
