hiya,

just setup my new dell 2007fp. serial ending in L so it is supposedly the s-ips...

which do people recommend out of vga or dvi connection? when i opened it the vga was already connected? but i have always used dvi in the past... which do people prefer and why?

i notice more on whites that i can see almost like a faint speckly shimmer... but i think i tend to over analyse things anyways... can see it more on this monitor but this is alot brighter then my previous...

color is brilliant!

also, when i was looking at the 'image modes' i was flicking between a few and then all of a sudden the entire screen went shades of pink!?? what the? i went back to restore colors to default and it fixed it... hasnt happened again so far... any ideas? what is the diff between the modes?

the dvi plugs that came with looked a little ruffed up... compared to my samsung ones... can that effect anything?

ps. yes i do get a little over paranoid... if you cant already tell :)
 
Use DVI if you can, you'll get true 1:1 pixel mapping for the sharpest picture possible (at native res). Try the one it came with, any defects should be obvious, if there are any, try your old DVI cable
That speckly shimmer is inherent to IPS tech, some panels are worse than other. Dont look for it too much or it will start to bug you. :)
What exactly did you do in image mode to cause that pink shades problem?

Oh, and next time put a lil more detail into your thread title, you'll get more views which can lead to more help. :)
 
So they're really releasing s-ips panels again? My dad needs a couple 20" monitors.
 
all i did was try out each of the image modes... then i went back to desktop mode and it went pink... then tried the other again and nothing... went back to colour settings and set back to default and it fixed it...?

what could happen though if the dvi cable was dodgy?

ps. i am in australia... dunno what dell are doing in US re 2007fp panel type.

I don't think they are. I think the 2007 was the last one to have the s-ips panel. I just got a 2209WFP and it's definitely not an s-ips panel and from what I hear the 2009W isn't either. Colors were horrible, viewing angle greatly effected the colors and contrast. Just an FYI for people looking for a new display.
 
My 2007fp has the same "pink issue" sometimes when ajusting the "image mode", it happened several times and can turn OK when adjust it again. Maybe there is a bug. And unlucky, mine is spva. I am in China.
 
actually the 2005 was the one that guaranteed an S-IPS...During the 2007 production, Dell decided to go cheaper, I guess, and soon started a panel lottery of either a S-IPS or a PVA (or was it MVA?)

The 2209WFP was never and S-IPS to begin with btw...
