Have had a 2007wfp since April. So far so good until recently when I noticed that it flickers occasionally. Yes it had banding problem too but i could care less. So I finally contacted Dell and explained my concerns. today I got the replacement but strangely it is not brand new. (it says...

does it only apply to US customers? why did he never make an officially anouncement publicly on how the exchange process will be done? I need the words as a reference so that when i call Dell Canada, I can refer them to it. also why did they fix the desktop mode while banding is not an issue...

i haven't seen anyone actually getting their faulty 2007wfp/fp fixed.

LOL no problem. good to hear that you are getting your money back.

run the banding test. if banding still exists, then u would know the problem hasn't been fixed and the firmware is not updated.

the customer reps and even tech support don't really give a $hit about any technical problem. when you phoned, you should just keep your problem as simple as possible. tell them the monitor is "defective". because "ONLY" defective items are qualified for full refund. before getting the full...

how should canadian users proceed?

Hopefully someone will get an answer from the furom mod soon, so that I can tell Dell Canada what I want to do with my monitor. wondering why the forum mod didn't talk about text blur.

porns are still looking as exciting as usual via VGA. LOL

Does that mean if you are not in the desktop mode, the banding will still exist? I hope they will post the firmware for download which is the smartest thing to do.

I understand your point but i really don't see any loss of quality by going from DVI to VGA.

i see banding in the third pic. running via VGA will eliminate the problem though

I never thought banding was an issue until today when i played Act of War- High treason. This game has a lot of movie scenes and the screen just looked terrible even with my ATI 1900xtx. lots and lots of colour steppings. When I used the gradient test with VGA connection, i couldn't notice any...

thanks for the head up. it's a great news to hear

I couldn't notice any ghost on all three. I bought the Dell for 429 CND on one of their 7 day sale event. If you are not in hurry, I would wait for the next event.

I've had experiences with all three LCD's: L203wt, VX2025 and 2007wfp. I returned the first two and keeping the Dell. I've talked about all three so here I'll just give the reasons i returned LG and Viewsonic. For LG, narrow viewing angles: i.e whites looked washed out and yellowish on the...

ok banding IS there and many people have proved it and we have seen it all. BUT those banding examples were taken by cameras sitting extremely close to the monitors. I doubt that for normal usage, you would ever stick your eyes to the screen. also why would anyone bother ordering 2007fp/wfp when...

if you are not in rush, wait for the Dell Sale event

I received my second 2007wfp just minutes ago. the banding is still there but only visible when i run the banding test. and the panel is still S-IPS made by L.G but the monitor was manufactured in Mexico this time, instead of China. I got the second one for $429+taxes CND , an a$$ whooping deal...

nope. Dell has changed 2007fp from S-IPS to PVA. If you got one from the early batch, it would have been S-IPS.

ya i am running it via DVI and i've tried two versions of the gradient test program.

my banding never looked as bad as the banding pictures posted by others and the monitor was made in China not mexico. maybe its origin has something to do with banding.

yap with insurance

the estimated shipping for 2007wfp is $75CND. that is shipping from Ottawa to Dell Canada. trust me you want to do all you could to avoid the shipping charge.

they would waive the restocking fee but if the product is not defective then you will have to pay shipping for return.

it's all good that i got my money back

i was on the phone with Dell tech support for almost an hour, trying to "solve" the blurry texts problem. did the basic time wasting walk through, disconnect the monitor from computer..blah blah blah. then the tech guy asked me "do you see no signal warning on the monitor?" yes i said. then he...

I don't know how some people could keep exchanging 2005wfp if they had to pay shipping. I told the lady that some people didn't even pay a cent for exchanging and that bxxch said "do you have internet? go to read line 8". wtf.. the other day Dell put a great effort to send me two emails...

i feel stupid for paying $551 for 2007wfp two weeks ago because this junk is on sale for $427 CND "TODAY ONLY". the next thing to gas price that fluctuates weekly is Dell products. what to do now?

The lady I talked to from dell said that i would have to pay for the one way shipping+insurance and maybe 15% restocking fee, even though the product is defective. wtf?? i explained to her about what banding issue was but she kept saying "i don't know what that is". I bought the 2007wfp two...

are you saying that 2007wfp are made by either PVA or S-IPS? Mine says LPL WSXGA LM201W01.

i did the "extend my desktop" way and the monitor icon marked second was initially highlighted but right after i hit "apply", no highlight anymore and no signal to the second monitor.

I've been trying to hook up two monitors on x1900xtx but only one DVI slot would work at a time. any idea?

my second DVI won't detect anything for some reasons

so I bought 2007wfp a week ago and have been very satisfied with it until some people mentioned about banding. It doesn't bother me at all but as more people talk about it, I feel I am getting an inferior product for the money I paid. So I went to bestbuy and got myself a VX2025 just for...

your banding pic look very similar with mine, which are not as bad as those posted by others. Also mine was made in China too.

hey dude, i think you have too much time on your hands. you purchased 2007wfp in hopes that it would be better than 2005wfp. then you realized that it sux b/c of "banding" problem then you returned it. everyone understands you very well at this point. if you like those cheapo LCD and think they...

does anyone know what the return policy of dell is? do they charge a restocking fee? they are having a 7 day sale in Canada and it's very likely either 2007 or 2005 will be on there.

I just noticed another problem with 2007wfp. I have about a half cm vertical line flashing randomly on the screen whenever I browse on hardforum.com. does it happen with any of you? it happens with both VGA and DVI but more frequently with VGA.
