2405FPW vs 2407WFP

[bryank27]

Hi Everyone,

First time poster, long time viewer

So at my job, I currently have a 2405FPW that I absolutely love. Its an A05 btw, so I believe last revision for that model, in which then it jumps into the A00 for 2407WFP

I know there are some threads on here discussing the revision updates the 2407 has gone through. One of my co-workers has the 2407WFP A03 and another one has the 2407WFP A00 (date August 2007), so I am thinking his is the -HC

Anyways, what I am getting at is with all these revisions, etc... and the fact that according to Wikipedia, the following Panels are used:

2405FPW - Samsung PVA LTM240M1-L01
2407WFP - Samsung S-PVA LTM240M2-L02, AUO M240UW01 (8-bit)
2007WFP-HC - Samsung S-PVA LTM240CS01-001(true 8-bit)

Would I be better of in terms of pure quality for graphics/design work with the older 2405FPW, or one of the 2407 models.

If the 2407WFP (no HC) IS recommended, which revision Model should I go after since I have heard when a revision happens, Dell quietly makes panel changes, etc...

Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bryan

I had a 2405 for about 2 years. It eventually died and I convinced Dell to send me a new 2407 instead of a refurbished 2405. In all honesty, I can't tell if there's much, if any, of a performance difference between them. I prefer the 2407's style, tho. Mine is version A03, which seems to be the "sweet spot" for the 2407. It works very well for everything I do: work, games, graphics, videos, etc.

I briefly had a Dell 2407WFP A04. Problem was that the right side of the screen was much dimmer than the left side. I reset the colors and brightness, and it was still there. For instance, on HF forums, the left side was much more brighter than the right.

I am very curious about this too - having a 2405 and considering going dual by adding a 2407.

Thanks. Yea, the sweetspot was something I am after...A03, because I would hate to order the latest and greatest from their website only to be disappointed later if the panel they used was a cheaper version, or there are dimming issues, etc...
