Intergalactic:
I have 3 Dells 3008WFP (H-IPS LG LM300WQ5 panels) and also 2 Dells 2707WFP (S-PVA Samsung LTM2701M1 panels) , (I don´t own an Airport Control Tower they are in different houses and rooms) they are from different revisions and years and I can assure you: the IPS panels have...
Nice review, congratulations for your purchase.
I own 3 3008WFP revisions A00 (2008), A02 (2008) and A03, this last unit purchased April 2010, I never heard of a 3008WFP revision A06 anywhere !!!
I will not worry from the movement of the panel inside the frame:
First I believe was an...
Well perhaps as you say I am insane... but our friends of LG Electronics belong to my same asylum !!!:
You will see this in April 2011, this is a small 31 inch display, of course this ultraslim bezel is only possible with OLED, it´s SO NICE even Garfield looks elegant !!!!
The...
:cool:
Well perhaps my comments where like throwing a stone in a pond..., but for all the people here that hope their new U3011 will be great , I wish you the best with them !!!!: ;)
Let me be clear: I have nothing against the U3011, probably is an excelent monitor, marginally better...
:mad:
I see a lot of people here who think newer is always better, but this new monitor is a big disappontment for the people that REALLY want the best, for us $ 1499 or $ 1999 is not the point.
Honestly now Dell does not have a "high end" monitor anymore.
By the way Apple also kills...
Richard:
People that are answering you are wrong the monitors you are interested DO NOT share panels.
I own 2 Dell 3008WFP (S-IPS) and 2 Dell 2707WFP (S-PVA) so I know what I am talking about about different "look and feel" in the panels.
PANELS:
The Dell is a 30" panel made by LG...
Ihsa:
See my review of my own unit on page 14 of this thread for pro and cons.
In short the 3008WFP have had quality problems but I still think is the 30" King if you like a balanced product with design + finish + image quality + warranty.
Defective LCD units seems to happen more often...
Cascaman:
1)
The second monitor that you received is also a Revision A02 ??? In other words can I asume that Rev A02 is what is usualy being shipped now from Dell ?
2)
Is summer in Spain ... the monitor gets very hot ? if so after how many hours ?
The heat can be brightness related ...
:D
Por fin hombre tienes tu condenado monitor !!! Felicitaciones !!!
If you read my original 1st post on page 14 I was also concerned about the apparently lose panel in the metallic frame.In this post I speculated if this was something intended to take into account the thermal expansion...
Cascaman:
Yes Dell may be crazy.
Here in Argentina they sold the 3008WFP only one week (...) in January, I bought mine through and indirect reseller in February for 2650 US dollars not cheap but very close to the US price of US $1999 + 8% sales tax = 2158 US $
I am planning buying...
Cascaman:
Probably Dell is running out of stock of the 2707WFP.
The new 27" called 2709W is (in my opinion) a step backwards, a cheap looking "boxy" plastic construction unit, but with better connectivity and HDMI.
Gone are all the luxury details.
Only gimmick is a row of hidden...
I appreciate the time you use to answer my modest opinions I will try to clarify my point of view and sign the peace with you:
NEC vs DELL or Godzilla vs KingKong:
:)
First of all sorry for my rapid changes in my last post, I was changing it because I was trying (on line) to find...
Mr. Videomasterz:
How independent do you think is the review you mention ?
It has been written by "Albovin" a long known guy (to all the people in this thread) who since day one has dedicated his whole existence to blame the Dell 3008WFP.
Don´t take me wrong; he is a VERY...
The panel of the 3008WFP look exactly the same as the 3007WFP and has the same antiglare mate finish.
The "sparkle" some posters said it´s just a subtle antiglare finish, Perhaps this photo gallery of Gizmodo could help, because they are not retouched as comercial images...
:eek:
Mal Ingerer:
Yes, your are 100% right:
in another forum http://overclockers.co.uk (see "The 3008wfp Thread" page 7) I even read about a guy who said he has changed 3 (YES three) monitors and ALL of them Revision A01.
I insist that must be a correlation between the failures...
10e::)
Thanks for your advice, as I said I rarely join a forum and perhaps don´t know the usual implicit rules in posts,
I just published my unit S/N perhaps to see if another person find some correlation data (for example if all "goods" monitors came from the same production batch inside...
XYZZYX:
The "sparkle" you mention is present in the antiglare finish of all S-IPS panels made by LG-Philips,
Not only in the 3008 and 3007 , the NEC 3090, even in the old Apple Cinema Display 30" (2004 panel LW300Q3) you will see it.
They called "3H Anti Glare" and forces you to be...
Cascaman:
Dell International Warranty is the same in all the World, even "Premium Panel Warranty" is more marketing promises than reality.Because nearly no panel are perfect.
A stuck subpixel is not considered a dead pixel but a "dark" dot.
A "bright dot" (= the same point red + green...

I have just joined HardForum community, this is my first post. I am a 43 years old industrial engineer and live in Argentina. My hobby is high end consumer electronics.
My own experience
I bought my Dell 3008WFP on January 14th so of course it´s still revision A00. These...
