DELL UltraSharp 2007WFP 20.1-inch Widescreen Flat Panel LCD Monitor with Height Adjustable StandBrand: Dell
Binding: Electronics
Warranty: 3 years warranty
Great display but use DVI with Powerbooks etc [Posted on 2007-06-07]
I wanted a display for my screen writing so I could see three pages on one screen, plus, plugged into my Powerbook, I can have the "index card" view on that screen. It's an amazing set up.
I wasn't happy with the way the color or fonts were until i brought the mini DVI to DVI connector.... WOW!! SOOO much better. Throw out that analog connector you get with the PB!!
This LCD display uses the same panel as the Apple Cinema display but uses a different lamp, so you are basically getting the same screen for half the price.... the only draw back is the bezel doesn't match the color my AI Book(!) but who cares!!!
Review for 2007FP [Posted on 2007-07-13]
I don't see the full-screen 2007FP on amazon... so I'm going to write the review here, on the widescreen product page.
The 2007FP is an excellent monitor, I bought 2 directly from Dell and have them side-by-side on my desk. They are sleek, bright, crystal clear... I would recommend to just about anyone. If you're looking for something to play video games on, the ms response isn't the highest out there, but I do play xbox on one of them occasionally and I don't notice any problems with the display (some claim otherwise)
That Image is WRONG [Posted on 2007-09-21]
I bought this unit based on the image of the product, not realizing that someone has mistakenly posted the Dell UltraSharp 2007FP image for the 2007WFP. As a consequence, I had to ship it back, and the supplier kindly sent me the 2007FP, but it got destroyed in shipping. It cost me a bunch of money for shipping and wasted a whole month's time. I finally had to go to Dell to get what I wanted.
Dell 2007WFP product listing shows the wrong graphic [Posted on 2008-02-21]
This review is actually aimed at Amazon, which incorrectly bounced a comment that the product had the wrong picture. The pictures (as in shown in this review panel or the high level selection panel) at
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/105-9681712-1955612?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=dell+2007wfp&x=0&y=0
are wrong. They show the wrong Dell screen, one with a 4:3 aspect ratio (standard TV aspect ratio). This product is 1680:1050 which is much wider (16:9 aspect ratio).
FYI -- the pictures inside the detailed article are correct -- the ones that are wrong are in the panels where one selects from a variety of digital TVs.
BTW, the product is a great product -- surprisingly good picture ... but that's not the issue here. I tried to address this, but got this reply (which is flat out incorrect).

Great monitor [Posted on 2008-03-12]
I just purchased this monitor (got it 10 Mar 08) from the Dell website ...so if you're in the market that is the place to go. I did a lot of research, review and fact-finding and I assessed my needs (I'm not a "gamer" and this is definitly not the screen to get for hardcore gaming) before I chose the Dell. My monitor arrived safe and sound, set-up was easy and the screen has no aberrations that I can see or find (dead pixels, back light leakage, etc).
The 2007WFP uses the S-IPS style of LCD ...some of the older 2007WFP's used either the S-IPS or S-PVA screen but the current lot are all S-IPS. The LCD screens are supposedly made by LG or Samsung and the screen is the same as the highly touted Apple Cinema series. If you do an online search for these types of display technologies, S-IPS and S-PVA, you will find them rated much better than the more prevalent and less expensive TN style of LCD. And finding an LCD with S-IPS or S-PVA technology is becoming more difficult especially at the Dell's price point. The 2007FPW monitor is replacing my aging Samsung Sync-Master 17 inch CRT. The image is beautiful and for basic PC operations (non-photographic or movie) this monitor is much better than my CRT ...the extra "real estate" on the 20 inch screen is great.
I am an amateur photographer and one of the reasons I bought this monitor was to be able to use it in photo editing with Photoshop. This monitor came up many times in online recommendations as a best "bang of the buck" LCD monitor for digital photography work. Is it the best? No, but then the best will run you well over a grand or two. To get the best image on any of these LCD screens, connect them using the highest quality signal available which for the 2007 is via a DVI cable (included in the box). If your video card doesn't have a DVI output, upgrade your card ...don't use the VGA connection or you'll be selling yourself short and probably won't be happy with what you see. Also, make sure your video card has the latest factory drivers. Another factor in maximizing your image, especially for photo work, is to use a color calibration tool (Spyder, etc).
Equally as handsome as the image is the overall physical appearance of the monitor; is it well built and has an incredibly rugged and versatile stand. The screen is anti-glare, having a matte finish to as opposed to some LCD screens that are glossy (such as the HP line); this will cut down reflected glare from desk lamps, etc.
Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase. Time will tell as to how my satisfaction continues but right now this Dell 2007FPW monitor is a winner.
