Does the 2007wfp have the same reddish anti-glare coating as the 2005fpw? I used to have the 2005fpw but the coating drove me mad and I gave it away as a present.
 
I just recieved mine today and yes it does have a horrible anti-glare coating...but I don't know if I would call it "reddish". To me it seems to have pretty much the same anti-glare coating that many panels use which gives it a "fuzzy" look. I haven't had time to play with it much yet and I plan to calibrate with my Spyder2 tonight. Right now though I much prefer my Acer F-20 with it's glossy coating but I will post a comparison thread at some point.

I don't know how anyone can stand that glossy coating. A glossy coating defeats one of the best advantages an LCD has over a CRT. That advantage is no glare.

I don't consider "glare" and "reflective" to be the same. The glossy coating is reflective if you have a direct light source in front of the panel but isn't what I consider distracting and certainly doesn't make the panel unuseable. To each his own...this new Dell will make the 4th anti-glare lcd I've owned (2 Viewsonics, 1 BenQ and now the Dell) and I strongly prefer the glossy screen on the Acer F-20. It has "clarity" and gives colors a richness whereas the AG panels tend to look a little washed out and fuzzy to me.
