Dell 2707 vs 2709

[Fading Phoenix]

Has anyone used both or been able to compare a 2709 to the previous 2707? I have a chance to get either and can save money getting the 2707, but I'm not sure if there's any substantial difference between panel/buil quality.

I went from a 2407WFP to the 2709W and all I can say is get the 2709W. It is a newer samsung panel that is much improved over last years. The biggest difference is no more black crush and a lot less gamma shift. I have read that the 2707 was a little better than the 2407, but that was mostly better black level. The only reason to get the 2707 would be color gamut, but even the 2707 was wide gamut, just not as wide.

What do you mean by black crush? I'm going to be upgrading from a samsung 226bw and I've been looking for something better to watch movies on with a possible blu-ray drive uprgade, so honestly either of them will probably make a big difference compared to the TN panel I've been living with.

Merry Christmas by the way.
