Dell Panel Lottery Over?

[wowolaf]

I've heard rumors very recently (within the last 2-3 days) that there is no panel lottery anymore for the Dell 2007wfp monitors, and that they're all S-IPS.

I'm still not 100% on the Samsung I bought, and if I can be guaranteed an S-IPS Dell, I'll probably go with it.

Can someone confirm or deny this rumor, or at least point me toward some source from where they might be getting it?

My apologies if there's already a collective thread on this subject, I posted in a hurry.

Again?

It goes in batches. Last month someone claimed he talked to dell, talked to supervisors at Dell and the Lotto was definitely over and all would be S-IPS. Some people bought that and for about two weeks no reported a PVA. But then the PVA's started coming again.

Dell ships whatever they have available at the best price. This lotto will never end IMO, until this model is done.

Has anyone here recently purchased a new 2007wfp and NOT gotten an S-IPS?

What sammy did you get?

My Sammy looks amazing out of the box and I like it better than the Dells I have seen. But thats just me

I got the 226BW C Panel. Overall, I really like it, but I do notice some color discrepancy between the top of the screen and the bottom. Towards the top, colors are a little darker and less crisp than at the bottom. I should stress, though, how minor this is (only noticeable to me if I'm really looking for it). It's also worth noting that I must say, I'm very impressed with the gaming performance of this panel. No ghosting or input lag at all, the response is fantastic. Since we're on the subject, how's the gaming on the Dell S-IPS panel?

(Also, still looking to hear of someone who purchased a new 2007WFP recently and didn't get an S-IPS)
