None of my LCD's have any defects. Beat that. Back light bleeding and dead pixels are defects, period. It's not about how much money u spend on it, it's what the purchase agreed upon. Perhaps dead pixels are clearly written, but dodgy warranty policies doesnt spell transparency.

Most people that have not dealt with Dell, think highly of their paper policy. In reality it's a different story. Alot of forumers here can tell a tale or two about it. Not that i am against Dell, but purchasers have the right to speak.

Hey guys, I asked this question before but no one replied. So I'll ask again.

I'm currently finding a good 20" widescreen LCD for my computer. I use it mainly for gaming and watching videos.

I have Dell 2007WFP in my mind. But I noticed some sites saying it has serious banding issues. I wonder if it has been fixed or not?

If anyone has a suggestion on which LCD to buy, please give the suggestions too.

Thanks in advance.

I dont know why Dell sucks so much.
You get 14 days to return it if you dont like it. They charged only RM80 for the refund process. Any shops in Low Yat would haf charge you 20% for you to return it.

i bought three monitors from dell -- 1907fp, 2407wfp and now the 3007wfp. so far, no problems of any sort.

plus their warranty is one of the best in the market. my friend who bought a 2407wfp thought the monitor had banding problems -- he called up dell and they sent a replacement with no hassle at all.

anyway, that is my experience with dell.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and my question -- where do i get a Kensington lock for my monitor? i think almost all Dell monitors come with it -- i noticed that in the 24" and 30".

the banding is fixed on desktop mode...but theres backlight bleeding...as what my
eyes can see....

maybe for you is alrite....overall is a good lcd...not so good if u use it in a dark room on
black background....once again its based on my eyes hehe

btw..my second replacement just came..will try it out tonite

LOL...
Regardless of what monitor you use, none of them recommended viewing LCD/CRT in the dark...

I doubt I'll use the LCD in dark room.... so I don't really bother with the backlight bleeding...

Btw, how much you bought the 2007wfp? Got any special discount? Currently the cheapest I can find is ~RM1250.

wah where u find 1250? hehe i bought mine 1299

for 2nd replacement i requested for a02 which is before june batch...

and it reach my door today ehhe and its LM201W01 panel

wah.. so fast second replacement....`
i just received mine this noon..
hooked up everything.. & now running fine...

got several things to ask here... (which might have been asked again & again )

1) as wat i know... dead pixel can be checked by using dead pixel buddy..
as for backlight bleeding... how to see it in dark? i mean my display.. not displaying black at all (dunno wat the colour called but it's definitely not black).. so.. is it blacklight bleeding on whole screen?(which i heard some others having it on corners only)

2) while for banding.... how to check ler?

3) and also.. i still fails to press out the panel info..
is it when booting the comp. .... then press the menu & '+' button.. then press '-' button? .... but nothing appears ler...

4) still got wat other things to check on?

Thanks in advance for those who kindly reply me...

Edit: another question to add in...

5) can lcd be same like crt.. (on & off anytime/allthetime) ?
i mean... previously when i'm using crt monitor... , i on my comp. 24/7 for folding..
while leaving my CRT monitor off (when not using it) by pressing the 'on/off' button... and on the monitor again.. when i wanna use it...
so... i wonder it lcd also can.. simply on and off it all the time..(by pressing the power button) while leavng my comp. on for folding)

Notice the stripe between the colors?

It's supposed to be smooth color transition.

I just bought the new release Samsung 932B .It has a very attractive design. Just like an Apple Monitor.

It was released recently only and even malaysia samsung website does not have it.

Its a 19" 4ms monitor. You guys should check it out. I bought it at RM800 because PC fair booth which sells it (3 booth selling for 775 only) all out of stock!zz

Link- http://www.samsung.com/th/products/monitor...igital/932b.asp

how do u find it so far? I was thinking of buying it as well during PC fair... but didn't... was afraid the quality is no good because it is so new and no one use it before... do share with us your experience of using it with us... thanks....

Wow..It looks like the R7 series of its LCD TV. Is the bezel in shiny piano finishing?

yeah it look good isn't it? not only the bezel, the whole thing is in shiny piano finishing, even the back... (if i remember correctly...) but it only has white colour right for 19"? i actually prefer the black colour ...

Oh yeah? Try buying from LowYat and check their warranty policy or their restocking fee if you are not satisfied with the item. You may be very lucky that you do not have to RMA your item so far with any of your purchase...but Dell's warranty policy is the best of its kind in Malaysia. Whats in paper is exactly in practice. Have you ever tried their NBD on-site warranty cause I don't think you have from your above post lol. Buying from Dell means zero interruptions.
