I arrived at a similar conclusion a month ago. The only 20" S-IPS glossy widescreen I know of is the NEC 20WMGX2, but it's about $630 right now. You have to pay to play. Having used a bunch of matte S-IPS LCDs compared to the NEC, I'd say the biggest differences are in small details, color...

I've done some looking around but it seems there aren't any 23-24" screens with S-IPS panels and glossy finishes. Can anyone confirm this or is there a unit I overlooked?

Are there any screenshots that show this blue/red line thing? Is it an actual full blue/red line somewhere on the screen, or just a vertical area that is tinted blue or red? I am inquiring because I have another monitor (an NEC) that I believe exhibits a similar problem. I think the left...

I exchanged it. No stuck pixels and the audio quality is much better now.

With the out of the box 20WGX2 settings (I like my brightness at 100%; I would make it brighter if I could) I see gray at RGB(3, 3, 3) from the first post test. This is identical to the Viewsonic and Dell (2007FPW) monitors I tried earlier.

Decided to take a chance on this screen. 1 stuck blue pixel in the center that I see against dark images and I'm not sure how I feel on the gloss factor just yet. Anyone who has a dark desktop background or anyone who watches a lot of movies with dark scenes might see more of their reflection...

Thanks for the images. We need more posts like that. I am particularlly interested in colors on the Dell. I currently have the viewsonic and no matter how much I play with it the colors still seem very slightly off from what I am used to (Apple iMac builtin display).

Is there also a lottery with the Dell 2007fpw? I was under the impression that was only an S-IPS panel.

Same.

My settings: 100 contrast, 100 brightness, 71 R / G / B, default color profile in software.

Exchange it for a new one, don't open it, then go back a couple days later and get a refund on an unopened item.

Yes, but I don't have Windows (nor will I be able to install it for a while) Do you suppose settings would be similar for all monitors of this type?

My colors seem to be very off even after attempting calibration for a couple hours. Out of the box, light blues look a little too purple. I compensate for that and orange looks brown. I compensate for that and white gets a red tinge. I've tried a few calibrations but they don't seem to...

This is a good point. When I went to pick up mine I feared a bad pixel. I asked them if I could bring it back for exchange without a restocking fee. They actually told me yes. Came from a manager. I felt either they didn't know their policy or were just telling me that to get me to buy it...

Yeah, I noticed they raised on the 10th, too. Although, strangely they would not take the coupon and the online deal in store: they said I could only use the price online or the coupon. I was considering citing someone here who used both, but didn't really know how to respond. The coupon was...
