Both 20WGX2 PRO and 2007WFP are available, new and priced nearly the same, at my location.

The Dell is 100% IPS, no lottery here.

I realize that lots of treads and thousands of posts have covered the ever-lasting internal struggle - WHICH ONE TO GET? However, the members that gone either way, have aquired a lot of first-hand experience, which may or may not have fortified their decision.

So...which one? :)
 
I have 2 Dell 2007WFP (IPS) monitors, and I had a 2005FPW. My Dells all have very uniform backlighting, no dead pixels, and have almost no "pixel-walk".
I also have an NEC 20WGX2 PRO and an NEC 2090UXI. The NEC screens have less even backlighting and both have quite a bit of pixel-walk.

The analog connections on the 20WGX2 are worthless for HD content.

Here is more information on pixel-walk:

I'd go with the DELL.

If you were guaranteed a 20WGX2 without the defects mine had, I would rate the DELL and NEC about the same. Then it would just come down to a preference for glossy or matte.
 
Wait, I thought the 20WGX2 PRO only had DVI and VGA. It has the analog inputs the NA model 20WMGX2 has? Does it have a remote also?

Anyway, I'd say if you're going to do lots of work where you might need to move the monitor to an office or bright room, get the Dell. If you plan to use it for some gaming then get the NEC, it's a tad faster.


PS: I have to say that the Wii and Xbox360 on VGA input compared to the component input is like night and day. It's crazy how the same monitor can produce something so beautiful and something so ugly at the same time.
 
There is no remote on that NEC, the inpits are DVI and VGA only.
I am not a gamer anymore (trying to be a good father to my two daughters), and the monitor is for home use.
Does the Dell has hight-ajustable stand? I think the NEC doesn't.
 
Yes, the Dell has height, pivot, tilt and rotate ability.

Both are pretty much the same except as the NEC has more vibrant colors because of the glossy screen. Although the Dell is HDCP compliant and the NEC isin't. The Dell has composite and S-video which are usable if that matters to you.
