Yes it does come with DVI, if it doesnt (maybe due to packaging error), you can call up the Cust. Service and request for them to send it to you.
Use HDMi -> DVI Covertor for PS3 la. IIRC PS3 Component is restricted to 720 output only, when compared to the 1080 ouput through HDMI. So theoritically speaker, the quality of graphics through component will be lower than the HDMI output.


really? that is cool. cause i don't need component inputs in that case

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.
*
Mine 2007wfp serve me very well....especially for movie which i not need to turn the lcd up or down to get the best position. bcos my bed is put on ground.
Somemore, the contrast ratio for the lcd also quite good, not so bright for surf net.
I had some problem with the lcd with high brightness, cos it too bright for surf net and eye also tired after long time. Somemore, is trouble for me to keep on changing the brightnes ratio.

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 biggrin.gif

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 biggrin.gif)

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 >_<.
*
The price for 2007wfp was Rm1339 and i plus 1 more year warranty then become 4 years warranty lo...the total was Rm1368....

does graphic card affect by LCD size?
cuz after I change my monitor from 17" to LCD 19" (1024x768 change to 1280x1024) i feel performance issue.

btw, my graphic card is Geforce 4 Ti4200 64MB memory.

bro, i still using my Gforce2 440....but if u set the display up to native resolution, the quality of display will be effected.
I think ur gf card is better quality then mine 1 la...Ti4200 le... drool.gif

Im so close in placing an order for the 2407.. too tempting laa..

To beastx and kianwee and whoever who owns the 2407, hows the picture quality like for those 350mb tv series ie lost, prison break on that screen? Is it too stretched (don't know how else to describe it)?

My gripe is that I've seen on my friends 21 inch imac, the picture quality for the 350mb tv series was kinda bad coz it was stretched (partly perhaps due to the fact that its screen is wide as well). Hopefully thats not the case with the 2407.

i'd advise you to take RM 800 and look around in Garage Sale for some good deals on 19" monitors. or heck just do it at shops.

i don't see why you should go for 2MS LCDs when 8MS works just fine.

News on Dell upcoming new LCD. [WideScreen]

Yes we have the 20inch, 24 inch and the 30inch variant from Dell. So what is next? The 27 inch will be launched in the near future!

Here's a link to the news.
http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/01/samsung...nt-27-inch-lcd/

For those who is lazy to open the link, here's a summary of the news.

The new 27 inch WideScreen from Dell will be based on Samsung's LTM270M1 panel. This panel is most likely to produce 6ms response time, 3000:1 contrast ratio, 500cd/m2 brightness, and should be encased with the same manner for all Dell LCDs, a black thin frame.

PS - Some other website states that the expected contrast would be 1000:1, so not sure if it is 1k or 3k >_<. Maybe engadget made a typo biggrin.gif

No ideas on what is the expected price or any concrete date of launch, but a 27 inch widescreen will sure to be release in the near future from Dell (expectation of course, is around a 2007 release date) biggrin.gif


EDIT - More details on the panel that the 27 incher would use (information ripped from Samsung's website)

Size 27.0"
Resolution WUXGA
Number of Pixels 1,920 x 1,200
Active Area(mm) 581.8 x 363.6
Pixel Pitch(mm) 0.303
Mode S-PVA
Number of Colors 16.7M
Contrast Ratio(typ.) 1000:1
Brightness(cd/m2) 500
Response Time(ms at 25°C) 8 (G/G)
Viewing Angle(U/D/L/R) 90/90/90/90
Interface LVDS (2Ch)
Outline Dimension(mm) 651.8 x 397.6 x 38.5

Yesterday saw 2 lcds which cost RM100K above...
This LCD is a 5MP Medical LCD greyscale display monitor, the resolution for the monitor is really big enough and details to view the xray photo.
This Barco lcd has a self calibration probe at the corner of Lcd and it will calibrate the lcd itself when found the lcd out of calibration....Nice...
No wonder 2 lcds oredi cost Rm100K above....
