I've been looking at the monitor threads for weeks now in anticipation of buying a new monitor. However, it seems several of the LCD's I am looking at don't do scaling of an input signal that is not equal to the native resolution of the monitor (ie, taking a 1024x768 signal and scaling it up...
Thanks Cong. So it seems that the scaler in the LG is pretty good. Must be to get decent image quality when upscaling a 5:4 resolution (1280x1024) to panel size. I would have thought such a transformation would have distorted things a whole lot. Good info to know!
Did I read your post as saying the 2407wfp-hc is made by BenQ??? Would this give us some insight as to whether this thing has an A-MVA/P-MVA panel as opposed to a Samsung S-PVA? Why would BenQ got get an s-pva from samsung to make this for Dell when they have access to the MVA panels in their...
LittleHorus and Conghelach, thank you for all of your information. Very helpful.
@LittleHorus: From what I've gathered from your posts, if I've got my computer hooked up via DVI-->HMDI then when I used a 4:3 ratio resolution (1024x768) or 5:4 ratio resolution (1280x1024) the monitor can...
Thanks machineguy. Maybe you could snap a pic of the service menu for us to take a gander at. I was unaware that panel info was now hidden. If you post a pic of the service menu, maybe someone in the community can help us figure things out.

My apologies bootstrap. I knew the current BenQ and LG monitors were not wide-gamut displays. My question stems from the fact that AUO is the only panel maker that currently lists a wide-gamut 24" panel on their website (as far as I know) and it is an A-MVA type panel...
Has anyone found out, with certainty, the panel Dell is using in the new wide-gamut 2407wfp-HC? Speculation is that is the same AUO P-MVA or A-MVA that is in the BenQ and LG 24" monitors b/c Samsung doesn't list a wide-gamut 24" panel. But I have not found anyone yet that definitely knows what...
For some insane reason, I decided to give Dell a call today. I am really curious about the panel used in the 2407-HC, as I think it would be great if it was the AUO P-MVA used in the BenQ and LG 24" monitors (supposedly good color and less color shifting when looking straight on). So I got a...
Has anyone been able to verify, accurately, the claim that the new 2407wfp-HC uses the AUO A-MVA panel? Besides cracking one open, how would one go about verifying this?
Thanks for the reply. If I may ask, how do things that run at 1280x1024 and 1024x768 look when they are stretched to widescreen or are kept at 1:1 (my understanding is that when using DVI/HDMI input from PC, you can only stretch or go 1:1)?
Any info you can provide is much appreciated. I am mostly interested in the aspect ratio control from computer (dvi --> hdmi), vga (future xbox360) and component (future hd cable). I know this monitor uses the same or similar panel as LG246 and BenQ F241W, so I believe the picture quality...
