i will have to agree with that mate....

wah 5 yrs warranty and 2349............ itchy already........

to hook up ur PS3, may be u can see benQ new 24 A-MVA panel......review seems quite good and support full HD gaming experience

I was in a hurry to make a new order for refunding my 2007WFP (refunding while having a new order in place will waive every single refunding process, and ensuring i get back the exact amount I paid). Oh well nvm I call up tomorrow and see the sales can do anything for me or not. Worse come to the worse I lose up some money to cancel and reorder. Still can save RM250.

icic.... i think u can still take the offer since u haven't get your lcd rite?

oic, hope u get some refund then... good luck...

No I havent receive the LCD because the estimate delivery is around next Tues-Thrus.

But the cheque has been cleared >_<. Oh well I'll see what the sales can do for me tomorrow. Must call them up and make noise >_<

Errm enough of my ordeal with Dell in LCD Topic >_<. Last LCD topic version my ordeal with Dell also telan so many unnecessary postings, I will refrain from posting anymore. Maybe I make a small post/update tomorrow to update if I can get any refund or any cancellation/reordering to take place or not.

Signing off the topic for now

damn it....now they offer the lowest price.....Rm1299+5years warranty...
Grab it now before late!!!!!!!!!
i got my 2007WFP for Rm1368 with 4 years warranty...3 weeks ago...

yes it is great offer rite now for 2007wfp as well as 2407
but isnt there alot of ppl dissapointed with 2007wfp ?

winlose how was ur 2007wfp btw.

Anyone here just recently bought the Dell 2407? IS it worth the money spent on it (or the RM 2349 that will be spent on it if i decide to get it)?

Done reading some of these "PRO" reviews and to be honest, it kinda got me confused. Banding issues etc, dont really know to what extent i'm bothered with it. Would really like a 'layman's' opinion on the TFT.

aiya... i dont comdemn LG lar...
you read my post properly...

the model you mention 1718 sucks cos I got one...
on the other hand, i got another LG model which is 1750Q (made in korea)... its much better cos higher contrast n color...

even my gf who isnt a pc enthusiast can tell which is better... thats mean it really sucks already...

Aiyo... no more banding in desktop mode liao la...
Moreover its not like you gonna notice it when playing games, watching video or surfing net...

Besides I dont really mind the price difference between RM1299 and the price I paid which is 1329. What you really wish for is a dead pixel free monitor and S-IPS. Im damn happy with mine to justify the price difference. Besides its end of the year liao, who knows what dell will ship out. Heard that more n more 2007WFP using alternative panel liao. Try your luck now and see what you got. Who knows if next year they will start all new production using PVA panel...

Err.. sounds pretty scary aint it? What panel are they using currently for the 2407 model?

2407 all using PVA... no lottery as LG-Philips doesnt produce 24inch S-IPS panel... there ya go...

It should be 3 years warranty. I dont remember Dell offering 4 years warranty before, it should be either 3 or 5 years IIRC.

The banding issue is more or less totally eliminated on the recent batches of Dell monitors, and currently Dell monitor for both 2007WFP and 2407WFP is standing at Revision A03.

Most of the LCD Monitor reviews online arefor both of these monitor are usually on the Rev A00, which are well known for Banding due to some color chip issue (in fact Banding issue are ongoing until RevA02 on some online reports). Dell kinda recitify this issue on the desktop mode (by disabling something), but it still exisit in some extend on the other two modes which is Multimedia and Gaming mode. But normal day to day use you probably even noticed the banding, and if you stick to Desktop mode (as most of users do, too lazy to switch mode so many single time for me) you probably wont see any banding at all.

Layman opinion is if the monitor has zero dead/stuck pixel on delivery, it is good enough

About the worth of the 2407WFP, yes the price is higher, doubling the price of 2007WFP (in fact you can buy 2 2007WFP with the normal price). But need to ask you back, if you can shell that kind of money, and what are you going to use the monitor for?

24 inch true power comes with it's higher native resolution, which is 1920*1200 when compared to the 1680*1050 res' that is offered on the 20 inch wide counterpart. The S-PVA used on the 2407 might be slightly lower in terms of overall picture quality on the S-IPS 2007WFP (esp the A02 version, it has one of the best pic quality I saw, even better than the A03, but that might be just me), but Contrast wise and Brightness wise, the 2407 emerge as victors. Also not forgetting the response time.

Some micellaneous extras that 2407WFP has over the 2007WFP is an additional 9 in 2 card reader, and a Component input. My friend has clarified for me by hooking the Sony PS2 using component instead of composite/s-video, the picture quality has tremendously improve and they're are less scanlines and flicker to worry about. Scanlines and flickers, esp. on text are very notorious on the composite input >_< (it is expected anyways). Most monitors nowadays, which includes the 2407WFP has HDCP support, so no problem in displaying HD videos for the future on Vista, XBox360, or the PS3 (you can always use HDMI -> DVI convertor for hooking up those future console onto a Dell LCD)

Oh an I forget, the additional 4 inch is quite alot, the monitor look significantly bigger, in fact when my frn first receive it (he was upgrading from 17 inch LCD i think) he say it is too big (yeah right, nothing is too big in this world )

So if it is up to you to think about is the almost double price of 2407WFP is worth the money or not. My 2407WFP will only be delivered around next week, so I cant say anything about owning it and using it day by day. But my frn received it last weekend and he's enjoying the monitor and has no regrets on his purchase.

---------------------------------

EDIT - Small update. I got a refund from Dell due to the current low price of 2407WFP. (Original order price RM2599, current price RM2349). So they will refund me RM250, but I wont be elligible for the 5 years warranty because my order was processed priorly, oh well gain back my money but lose out one offer, still a good result >_<.

You are wrong. LG.Philips do have 24" S-IPS (LM240WU1) and it's rare because it's an extremely expensive panel due to economies of scales.

30in for 4699!

i bought my 24in a few months ago for 2469. feel like upgrading already. sigh

Guys,

Dell's 30 incher has dropped to RM4,699...anyone comtemplating to make that purchase? or anyone already has one?

Btw, i'm just curious whether a 7600GT would be able to support

1) a single 30" OR

2) a 24" + 19"

I'm afraid it might overload the cpu/gpu.

I'm abit torn to get 2407WFP for RM2399 and spending abit more to get those cheaper 40" plasma/lcd panels from LG

4699? Holy shiat! I'm gonna haf a good look at this offer at the PC Fair today.
