It took me a while, but I finally ordered the 2490. I just hooked it up and no dead pixels or banding (as far as I can tell at this point). I did lower the brightness significantly. Otherwise, I think the color is on target. I toyed with increasing the font size to 120 dpi, but actually...

If you ordered from Amazon, you can email them and they will credit you the difference. I think that applies to 30 days from the purchase date.

I didn't see either 2490 version for sale at CDW. I had ordered from Provantage, but cancelled after the above recommendation. It is a huge monetary investment....like you, the best may be just crossing my fingers.

Now, I'm questioning where to buy. If I can do without the SV package, what do y'all recommend? B&H is higher, but has a good return policy (though you lose shipping both ways). I wrote Amazon and they have a restocking fee.

Thanks Snowdog for this post, the posts to my original thread and your thread on the 2490. All have helped me make the decision to buy the 2490. I went ahead and bought the version with the Spectraview, because it was only $130 higher than without. That's a bargain for that addition, IMO...

Actually, you are making me feel better about making the exact same purchase from the same company. I also have wasted a tremendous amount of time on this. I hope we are both thrilled with the choice. Thank you very much for posting this.

I had it in writing that they were shipping IPS panels. I got a MVA panel. There are no guarantees. This was last week.

Hello...me again. Forget the above about ordering the 2065. I opted for the Dell 2007FP and lost the lottery, so back it went (thankfully without a fee). I'm not so overwhelmed with the decision anymore. However, it's a very frustrating search because there aren't places here to go look at...

I went with Dell because of the design also. Plus, my current soundbar would have worked with it. It's a moot point now. Looks like I won't be out any money. It's just a pain to be told something (three times) and have it still not be right.

I had it in writing. Apparently the warehouse didn't see the email.

I was also told by three different Dell sales reps that only IPS panels were shipping. Not true...just got a PVA (revision A05) two days ago.

Both the HP LP2065 and the Dell 2007FP are victims of the panel lottery. It is possible to find a few vendors that can tell you the panel type of the HP they have in stock. I opted to try for the Dell because many on this forum (and three Dell sales reps) said they are shipping only IPS panels...

No need for others to respond. I've contacted Dell and arranged to send the monitor back. The agent confirmed there would be no restocking fee.

Hi, I made up my mind and ordered the Dell 2007FP, being told an IPS panel would ship and there would be no restocking fee for an item over $200. I have the IPS in writing from one online chat, but could not get the $200 restocking fee thing in writing. The monitor arrived. The label on...

I was told they do charge a restocking fee. Where did you hear that about the $200 limit?
