I'd love to have one. ^^

Thanks, it probably helps them to lower the cost. About your first answer, out of curiosity, did you send it back to dell for a new one or just return it? :p

So, i'm considering buying a new lcd again since my awful experience with an hp w2207, on a price range up to $299. Over brightness and color shifting are my biggest problems with lcds, brightness more than anything. With that in mind, ips seems like a natural choice. Thanks to Constantinos and...

jis, what OS are you using? Does the text sharpness bother you? black on white background, particularly. (glowing effect?)

Probably due to pixel pitch being high (0.282mm). Well, at least it's the impression i got fromn most well received 22"s. It's one of the reasons i'm leaning toward the old 2007fp. A think i should create a new thread with a shorter version of my post since you cleared it a bit. Thanks.

So, i bought a HP W2207 awhile back and found it horrible (you can check my post history for reference). I'm ready to give an lcd a 2nd try and would appreciate all the help i can get. My biggest problem with the W2207 was the over brightness and i've seen many people here with the 2209WA...

pvhk, could you check if the Abit I-N73HD works without the 8-pin connector? Thanks in advance.

The video card didn't help, i guess i have to use windas. Do i need 2 PCs for dynamic convergence?

Downloading. To avoid impedance mismatching i've already changed the cable before, same results. I'll try another video card. Thanks for the tips.

I'm using 1600x1200@85Hz. Cleartype makes it blurrier, so i prefer the sharp look without it. I didn't try Image Restoration on the OSD yet, any drawback? There is really a slight blue/white shadow on texts and lines.

So, i got a Sony g520, not the same from the first post btw. 1. Text quality is sub par. The convergence and focus is just not right and make it looks fuzzy. It improves with black text in white background or after warmed up. I'm quite disappointed to be honest. (no ClearType ) 2. Colors...

Hopefully i'll have the opportunity to speak with the owner once more and get more information.

SH1, i don't know the manufacture year, but it's around 3 to 4 years old according to its owner, which i'm not sure. Wasn't the G520 production ceased in 2003? It's apparently in pretty good conditions with no scratches. Anyway, i'm not really worried about problems because the IQ seems fine.

Just to make it clear, good quality CRTs usually don't give me eye strains of any sort, so i don't have any concern about that. The aesthetic of the 2007wfp is desirable, but the brightness of the few TNs i tried is holding me off. Thanks everyone for the inputs and keep them coming.

So, i got a chance to either get a CRT Sony G520 or an LCD Dell 2007wfp. The Dell costs twice as much, but it's brand new and comes with 3 years warranty. The Sony G520 is a few years old CRT, but in pretty good conditions. I'm ready to accept the LCD can't match CRT responsiveness, that the...
