Don't get me wrong, but the monitor is very nice. Its bells & whistles aren't what I need (USB/media readers), though the color and ghosting is what I'm picky on. The color is very nice, but the overdrive ghosting problem I get with the HC is really bad. I've tried my best to get used to the overdrive ghosting, yet I just can't seem to. Coming from a Sceptre X20G-NagaIII, I loved how there was no ghosting on my Sceptre and this Dell monitor but there's just something about the 2407WFP-HC. If you took a look at the screenshots in the link above about overdrive ghosting, you'd see what I mean. I never got any of that on my old Sceptre LCD. I play over 2000 hours of FPS games so I need a really good LCD. According to the Dell Community Forums/TFTCentral.co.uk link, they said that you can send your monitor back for a refund (US customers only).

So I have a question.. Would I get the full price back ($700 something) after sending my monitor back? (in case the poll wins)

And what monitor should I go for? (Of course, it needs to be under $600.. don't care what size)

Thanks for taking the time to read my thread...
 
Ghosting is bad. I returned mine because I could get full price for it. If you can do the same, then I would highly recommend it.

Return it get your money back and buy the LG L245WP 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor, nuff said.
 
I don't mind saving more money this time and pay my bills faster. I can go for a Samsung 226BW unless there's a new version. But the question is, exactly where am I supposed to go and request for a refund?
 
I'll let you guys know something else, the thing is I've had the monitor since September 20. Am I screwed?
 
:eek:Woops! Yea I think your in a tight spot. Unless you could maybe try to sell it like ebay or something?...I dont know
 
Guys, an update.

Talked on the VP (videophone) with a Dell representative and they said they will give me the full refund ($1,360 for both Dell 2407 monitors) and I already went to the UPS store and shipped it back. Problem is they said I MIGHT not get the money back up until January 2, but that's their assumptions. If I'm lucky to get the cash back by next week, it'd be nice to pick up two Gateway FHD2400's from Best Buy. :cool:

As of the moment I'm back on my Sceptre 20.1" LCD that was collecting dust, I can feel the pain of not having 1920x1200 again but it'll take a few days to get used to 1680x1050 again, lol. Not to mention the brightness on my old LCD sucks so badly compared to the Dells I had >.<
 
In case you didn't know, that Gateway is a TN panel and the back light can start showing lots of bleeding after a few weeks.
 
Yeah Dell sucks.. they did the same with me with the 2407 except I hadn't even had it shipped yet. I wanted to change my order 3 days before they did and kept calling and calling with no progress. So I got stuck with a monitor I didn't want waiting up to a month for a refund. I ended up getting the 2707 instead, which is pretty good if the pixel pitch or higher price doesn't bother you, no inverse ghosting either. Might want to buy it somewhere other than through Dell. If you want to stick with 24" and still don't mind paying a bit more check out the NEC 2490, this would have been my #1 if it weren't for it being too small for my tastes and pricey
 
I'm sure it couldn't be worse than my 2 year old Sceptre that already has bleeding which doesn't bother me. :D
