One thing I didn't realize about the viewing angle issue until I bought a 22" TN... the vertical viewing angle is affected by even a few inches of head movement. like, say you slouch in your chair for a second, you will notice the contrast at the top of the screen change. alot of TN panel...

Yeah, I switched away from a TN panel to the S-IPS Dell. I calibrate with a colorimeter, so my perception of color is not based on the factory settings... and I can say that the S-IPS is definitely more pleasing. I had them both set up on my desk before I took the 22" TN back to costco, and I...

20" monitors have basically the smallest dot pitch you can get. 22" on the other hand have a fairly large dot pitch. that is one thing to keep in mind. in this respect, "bigger" is not necessarily better. for the record, the whole flicker thing with the 2007 seems blown out of proportion. i...

I haven't heard of anyone getting PVA in the last few weeks from the 2007wfp lottery. My office ordered two over the last month or so and both were S-IPS.

As you will see on this large Behardware monitor review for 20" panels, the Dell S-IPS 2007wfp is better than the TN panels that are quoted at even 4ms and 5ms. The specification for response is not the whole story. Response time varies across the color spectrum, GtG or ISO alone does not give...

Do we know if this flickering ever appears in regular use? Or only on a test screen? Because I have never seen it on my workstation. In my case, at least, the flicker issue seems moot.

Well, we got the other one in. This one came from the Nevada warehouse, RT803 S-IPS panel. Seems like everyone is winning nowadays. :) Edit: Forgot to mention, no noticeable problems like banding or dead pixels on arrival. Looks really good!

Dunno, but like I said earlier we are getting one in the office here from the Nevada warehouse tomorrow, so I'll let you know if the S-IPS trend continues of not.

Sounds like you're expecting a console game to look as good or better than a computer game. That just ain't going to happen. That is why a top-of-line computer costs 2g's, versus 250 for a Wii : / Only computers have true hi-definition gaming in my book. Let the flames begin... :p

This is off-topic, but I had to say something. It is funny you should mention that, because it is EXACTLY what corsair does. For example, their PC2-6400C4 ram started out as Micron D9 ICs until all the reviews were out, at which point they switched to stuff that was far worse of an...

I would classify what dell does as misleading, but from their point of view it is acceptable. Almost every company does the same type of thing, although sometimes it is more noticeable than others. A good example are RAM companies. The whole "switcharoo" tactic is just a good marketing...

But I would argue that you are missing the main point of S-IPS vs. S-PVA. The loss of detail in dark color tones when viewing the panel perpendicular to the screen can be extremely aggravating for some people. Maybe you are one that doesn't care, but you have to respect the fact that others...

2007wfp (S-IPS version) has better quality, and an overall more pleasing image with good viewing angles. The TN has a "okay" picture, with unsatisfactory viewing angles, especially vertically. A few inches of head movement will alter contrast on the screen. So basically your question is this...

"B) A lag of this value cannot be noticed at ordinary work or in movies. It may make a difference in games for well-trained gamers, but wouldn’t matter for most other people even in games." Notice the "well-trained" statement he uses. That basically translates to "skilled" gamers in my...

It is on sale now, although not by a huge amount. Assuming you end up with a S-IPS panel with no issues, that is actually a good deal imo. NEC and Apple charge an arm and a leg for theirs. I hear HP might have one too. LG.Phillips definitely does, but they only sell them in Europe.
