From what I know, the new 20 inch 2007FPW , has 800:1 contrast, and is HDCP compliant over DVI. It also has a 89/89 degree viewing angle. Its desktop footprint is seven inches.
The 2005FPW's contrast is 600:1, is not HDCP compliant, and the viewing angle is 88 / 88 degrees. Its desktop footprint is nine inches.
The 2007FPW also has some kind of new screen coating to reduce glare better than the 2005FPW did.
I myself am holding out for a 2007FPW to go on sale once all the 2005FPWs are gone.

The dell site doesnt really say... It does still say it is 16.7 Million collors, and it has 16ms typical response time, that makes me believe it could still be a 8bit lcd... I dunno....

I ordered my 2007FPW a few days ago, if it will help I could give alittle review of my impressions, although I'm sure I'll be impressed with anything after using this 19" Envision CRT for the last 6 years...

Let me know how it works for you, and if you dont mind, what did you pay for it?

Well that depends. I got in on that Dell deal a few days ago with the system + this monitor for about $740ish after a 40% off coupon and free shipping. I'm fairly sure I can sell the system alone to a customer or relative for at least $600 or more, it's a real nice little system, P4 dual core 512mb DDR2, DVD burner, etc.
So - I will end up getting quite the bargain

the 2007 should have better backlighting than the 2005, HDMI compliant over DVI, and a newer design. I myself am also waiting for the 2007. After reading the threads over at FAtWallet and Slickdeals about all the 2005s people are having problems with, I think i can wait a little longer.
Seems burnt pixels and backlighting are still an issue with even the latest batch that was sold off with that sale.

I just bought a 2007fpw from someone who was in on the bundle deal! Wound up getting it for $400 including insurance and shipping. Not bad! Dont think Dell will be offering deals and discounts on this monitor for at least a little while. Plus 2005's dont get more than $50 below 400 anyway, so i think i made out!
It will be shipping to me on Thursday and i will let you guys know what i think! I am so pumped!!!! Its gonna be a great week =D

I'm still in love with my 2005fpw, but I'm interested (for the sake of curiosity) in what the 2007fpw turns out to be like. In a couple years I'll probably pick up something bigger than this one, I really don't think I could have survived a widescreen any smaller than 20".

I was thinking about buying the 2005fpw for such a long time. But when I heard aboutn the 2007 supporting HDMI for Vista, I was all over it. I knew 3 people that bought 2005's and they all had some problems. 2 of them had theirs switched out twice, and my other friend got lucky and got a good one the first try. Hopefully I wont have to deal with the same issues that plagued the 2005. I think Dell would have done something about it because im sure they get a lot of returns on shoddy 2005s. Especially if they are sending refurbs in place of ones purchased new.
Should be here next week sometime, I cant wait!

i got a 2005fpw a few days ago..love it more than my pc now
got a great deal of $280 (used) - i plan on selling it off as it doesnt have a warrenty (but doesnt have any problems) and them possibly buying a 2007fpw if i can get a good deal on one w/warrenty. lcd's dont randomly go bad do they?

So I didn't have time to play with any of the settings, but my 2007fpw looks good to my eyes so far...
Will take pics if anyone wants them, but I'm really busy this week so not sure how much I'll be around.
