Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP

This Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP is one of the least expensive 24″ wide-screen monitors. It is designed with a thin black bezel and a silver stand that lets you adjust the monitor to optimize viewer comfort. It lets you view at 178-degree horizontal viewing and 178-degree vertical viewing angles with its 1920×1200 native resolution at an aspect ratio of 16:10.

It has a series of video connections such as DVI, VGA composite, component, and S-Video plus supports HDCP (high-bandwidth digitgal copy protection). It also has 9-in-2 media card reader, and four USB 2.0 ports.

As an additional feature, you can enjoy advanced features PIP (Picture-in-Picture) and PBP (Picture-by-Picture).

Dell E207WFP 20-inch LCD for a Tight Budget

Dell recently announced a new 20 inch LCD, and even tighter wallets should be able to afford to get some serious screen real estate on their desk now. The new E207WFP sports a 1,680 x 1,050 widescreen resolution, 20.1-inch viewing area and a DVI port with HDCP.

Many people expect to pay $400 and above minimum for this size of a monitor, but Dell has taken the market again, by pricing it at only $289.

The E207WFP should be available “immediately” worldwide, and definetly worth being on your 20 inch monitor short list.

ExtremeTech Reviews Three Widescreen LCDs

I’ve recently discovered that having a widescreen monitor is one of the coolest things that one can have, especially for one who has a lot of windows and widgets cluttered around the screen. You simply have more screen real estate to play (and work) around on. And it’s also great for watching DVDs and other videos that come in widescreen format. No more of those ugly (and useless) black bars.

ExtremeTech reviews three widescreen-format LCD monitors, namely the BenQ FP202W, NEC MultiSync 20WMGX2, and Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP.

The BenQ is the barebones, entry-level model, which doesn’t offer much in terms of input options.

LAN party gamers might want to check this one out, as its light weight and fast response time makes it a decent gaming display. It’s low cost might appeal to other users, but the mediocre image quality and ergonomic issues make this a less-than-optimal monitor.

The NEC meanwhile, is the best in terms of features, including an analog TV tuner, built-in speakers and even its own remote! Of course, it’s also the most expensive.

NEC’s MultiSync 20WMGX2 is a versatile display offering good image quality, but is marred by very high price and the glossy screen. It’s a good choice if you require a display that does a little of everything.

The Dell is middle-of-the-road, with added functionality and better ergonomics, but still limited in terms of input options.

Dell ships another winner in the UltraSharp 2007WFP. Offering first rate image quality for a desktop LCD, it’s priced right and is a pleasure to use.

The ExtremeTech reviewers went for middle-of-the-road, with the Dell Ultrasharp 2007WFP hitting the price-to-performance sweet spot. The BenQ FP202W was just too basic and lacked the ergonimics features considered essential to LCD displays. The NEC 20WGMX2 was just too expensive and had some issues not expected from a high-end LCD screen model.

Dell 2407WFP coming soon

The Dell 2407WFP 24-inch display has been shipping in Japan, but will it be available on US soil soon? Looks like it, since prices for the 2407WFP’s predecessor, the 2407FPW, have been falling on Dell’s retail site.

This opens up some possibilities here at home, though, where you can now pick up Dell’s 24-inch 2405FPW LCD, the older model with similar specs, for $799.20 at Dell’s website. It was $999 before. We’re staring at one right now, and we’re here to tell you, this monitor is going to be hard to beat, especially at that price.

Here’s another monitor to watch out for, with a slightly better-than-average (for its price range) resolution of 1900×1200, 1000:1 contrast ratio and 6 ms speed. HDCP is also supported.

Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP review

ExtremeTech reviews the Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP, Dell’s 30-inch, four-megapixel widescreen offering that packs a punch.

To summarize our lab results, the Dell 3007WFP offers excellent contrast ratio and luminance numbers, good color-temperature tracking, and a typical CIE color response curve. Uniformity is a bit of a concern, though in daily desktop use, it’s not an issue.
…
The real question is, should you? Not everyone really needs the display size offered by the Dell 3007WFP. At $2,199, it may be cheaper than the competition, but that’s a relative thing. Paying two kilobucks for a display is hard to justify unless you’ve got the application mix and productivity needs. Financial analysts, video editors, 3D content creators, and other professional types can benefit, but the rest of us may have to wait until costs drop.

The 3007WFP was found great for the average desktop computing use, although the monitor faced some color and fidelity issues when playing high-def videos from DVD.

Also, you’ll have to check if your graphics cards can handle the native 2560×1600 resolution. The primary requirement is that your adapter supports dual-link DVI, which effectively limits you only to a handful of choices, such as the Nvidia GeForce 7800 series, ATI X1600 and X1800 series, and Nvidia and ATI professional-series adapters. Otherwise, you’ll have to be content with a 1200×800 resolution, which is quite a waste for a monitor of this stature.

The screen is a bit pricey, though, at US$ 2,199, and it’s said to be more cost-effective to run two 1600×1200 displays, if you really need that four megapixel resolution.
