so fast!!!!!!
mine...
Estimated Delivery Date : 18-Dec-2006



what a long wait...` 

You actually went through RMA?
I had this backlight bleeding... b4 I seen it, I was wondering how bad was it going to be... after I saw it, I dont think its critical...

2007WFP manufactured after June 2006 are nothing but pure crap - backlight bleeds, dead pixels poping out from no where, etc. So I guess it's normal. It is not designed that way, remember. I've got 8 units from the first batch of 2007WFPs (April 2006) and besides the banding issue, all the screens are perfect without backlight bleed nor dead pixels.

No, Im not angry or agitated.
Its just that most are targetting DELL cos they are one and only company in Malaysia (my guesstimate) which prioritise customer satisfaction. Just go n buy a LCD from any shop in LowYat and see how you get treated when you complained about backlight bleeding or a single dead pixel. Its not that it doesnt exist. Backlight bleeding and dead pixel are common problem with LCD production. Certain batch has it, some dont. Simple as that.

Im not protecting DELL not do I work for DELL. I got a 2007WFP myself knowing the fact that I would never afford a S-IPS panel of other brand. Just a matter of facts, you all go n bought a 2007WFP/2407WFP becos its way cheaper than others. Havent it once cross your mind how DELL managed to beat other by such a big margin. You must have guess it. There's no other shortcut than cutting cost which lead to not up to par QC and component/circuits.

You dont need to look far. Even a 19inch S-PVA panel already cost more than what it cost to buy a 2007WFP inclusive of delivery. A 19inch aS-IPS panel from NEC cost RM2k. You get what you paid for.

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 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.. 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)

haha, called them up again today and they said snap a pic with a digi cam but I told them I dont have a digicam so now I dont need to send them the picture, only the serial number.
k thanks for the tips but....
1) how different is the box? and what if my replacement unit comes in a "not most of the time" different box? 

2) mine was manufacted in october 2006 even though I just got it yesterday, so how to accurately judge by the manufacturing date?

3) If I am not mistaken, usage hours can be reset right? 

Change again would be great, but I am afraid they might give me a refrubish unit if I change again, besides dell policy is 5-6 dead pixel, but I only notice 3 or so. I guess they wouldn't change for me even though I request.

yah, that's what I told the care line assistant, if they dont replace I will refund and she say she will talk to her manager.

But full refund also minus RM80 shipping fees, so not really a total refund 

if budget <RM1500, which brand widescreen LCD recommended? mostly using for design and works, so colors is very important to me.....

Guess I am not so lucky, coz the care line assistant never call me back and worst when I email the monitor serial no and picture to her, her auto respond email says that she will be on leave today and will only return tomorrow. sigh....

Why this shit is happening to me leh? I am a good soul, never did anything bad to anyone and yet this happen to me.
