Check the widescreen thread too.
There's many discussion about your enquiry there.

anyone use or seen 19" Benq 91G+?
Worth to buy at rm700?

just got my Dell 2007WFP yesterday...
how to check if there is S-IPS or S-PVA?

thank for helping

Different DVI input? You mean there are no extra 4 pins on the left?

Turn off the monitor.

Press the Menu and + buttons simultaneously and without letting go, press the Power button.

Once the display is switched on, let go of all three buttons and press the - button to see the service menu.

Check the top line of the service menu. Mine reads (V1B18 RT803) which is a S-IPS panel. I got my 2007WFP today so yours should be the same as well.

just checked that my LCD 2007WFP is Rev02 and it is S-PVA Samsung LTM201M1

any different with S-IPS wor :??

BenQ LCD monitor seems got a lot of problem..
heard from China website..

Guys.. do you all feel that LCD backlight degrade very fast??? My LCD just almost 1 year old and not as bright as before.. I use to be tune down the brightness and contrast to 0 and still very bright.. but now i set to 50 contrast only yield same as the 1st day i use it at 0 brightness and contrast..

what LCD are u using?

S-IPS is better in almost everyway except for black levels,also S-IPS is also known as expensive panel

lemme see...

S-IPS has no color shifting when ur viewing at horizontal and/or vertical
S-IPS has insane view angle
S-IPS has better color reporduction

S-PVA has good black levels
S-PVA is slightly faster response time (that is usually the case..not sure with dell )

But nowadays most of the LCD is TN panel due to cost wise. TN panel is cheaper which make it more easy to sell and faster response time make people feel better(psycological). That's why most computer shops stock TN panel rather than other.

I like S-IPS panel due to much better viewing angle but it is more expensive which make it not favourable for shop to sell.

yes, at loss now

please recommend me a 4:3 20" lcd.

4 pins are for analog signal.. which is carried by the graphic card (dvi-i) and the monitor's dvi input (dvi-d) is only for digital... therefore do not require the extra 4 pins..

Therefore getting a 24 pin dual link-dvi or 18pin single link-dvi (recomended and cheaper) cable for your monitor will do...

dell 2007fp at 1600x1200

presently i am using my lcd samsung 932b vga port for computer, so got a extra DVI port, so i thought of using it for my DVD player to hook up with the lcd( DVD player - it's comes with a video VGA output ) so no need to switch on the computer or plug in and out the vga cable, i was looking for a DVI to VGA adaptor, but the adaptor on the DVI side got this extra 4 pin , but my lcd DVI port didn't have the extra four holes, so i was thinking of using some tools to take out the 4 pins from the adaptor? can work ?

cannot ... DVI is digital...vga is analog... your dvi input on your monitor handles digital only... I suggest you use sl-dvi (pure digital ... not vga cable with a dvi-i to vga adapter)cable to connect to your computer .... and the vga input to your dvd player...

That is assuming that you have a discret vga graphic card with dvi output... If not you have to purchase a vga switch (RM 15 or so ...cheapest, manual) to switch between your vga source...

dvi-i to vga adapter is purely a analog signal cabling by pass adapter.. by routing the 4 pins and utilizing some of the other dvi pins to pass on the analog vga signal...it does not magically convert analog to digital signal.
U can say the extra 4 pins is security feature to stop uninformed user like you from inserting an analog signal to the dvi-d port on the monitor which may damage your monitor.
