Hello.

I heard from someone that they had 2 of these, i cant seem to find my damn thread where we talked about it.

Does anyone know if the 2007fp has had any revisions? DELL CHAT people said no, but I saw one on ebay that was REV A05.

any input?
Thanks
Jim
 
Definitely firmware revisions. I had an A00. It was quite messed up. Their scaler chip was stuck on all the time even at native resolution, produced significant band and blurred text. I think this was most straightened out by A02. I heard of A04, but that is probably correct about their being A05.

So yeah many versions and don't buy an A00-A01 under any circumstance, try to get an A04 or A05 which I don't think had much different between them.
 
Would they still be shipping versions less than A04? I mean, once they make a new revision...do they keep selling the old ones? Or do they stop and just sell the current revision?

Thats where im confused.
 
Highly unlikely. If they had just started shipping A05 there might be some A04 in the system, but I doubt there has been a revision in a while and they are likely all current now. I thought you might be looking at buying from Ebay (buyer beware).
 
no, def not buying from ebay (monitors at least). I just used ebay to see that they were up to at least A05.

I will be buying directly from Dell, so yeah, hopefully they ship an A05.

Do you have this monitor?
 
Yeah, I knew of the panel lottery. BUT...I was told today in the DELL CHAT that all current shipments of the 2007fp are S-IPS Panels.

I also found out that they do NOT charge a restock fee for items over $200. It is not listed in thier return policy on thier site, so it might be something new.
 
Worth a shot I guess. Might have saved me a lot of money if they had quit the lotto business sooner. I just bought an NEC 2490...

I was told they do charge a restocking fee. Where did you hear that about the $200 limit?

Well, I wonder why a local Dell reseller received S-PVA 2007FP's a not that long ago... :rolleyes:

Fine, if they tell you they are all S-IPS they can also give you a black-on-white guarantee that you will swap your monitor untill you get a S-IPS.
 
Dell call service/online chat etc are just call center employees, they know essentially nothing, check with another one the next day and you will hear the opposite, or they will tell you what you want to hear. Check again and pretend you heard about the lotto but want PVA. They will probably tell you they are all PVA now. Good luck on you lotto.
 
Yeah, I called DELL 3 different times about other issues, and I asked 3 different people about the no restock fee over $200 and they all said it was true. I was also in DELL CHAT and have the conversation saved if they end up charging me.

I even asked the guy when i got my RMA#...I specifically asked him and he said "if your purchase is over $200, we will not charge a restocking fee."

I was also told by three different Dell sales reps that only IPS panels were shipping. Not true...just got a PVA (revision A05) two days ago.
 
That's why you should ask for a email confirmation or so.

I'm happy with my two Dell 2007FP S-IPS's monitors. One A02 and one A05. Can't see any problem with any of them :)

None of them are bought directly from Dell. Every seller except Dell can tell you the serial number before you buy :confused:

I had it in writing. Apparently the warehouse didn't see the email.
