I've seen clear protective covers that can be used. Only thing is you have to be very careful with trapping dust.

Probably can do this without dismantling the monitor? Turn it up and place wet towels on it and use a strong tape or suction cup to lift the coating film?

So it turned out to be a toss-up between the Fujitu-Siemens L22-1W and the Samsung 225BW. Looking at the grayscale rendering and viewing angles I wouldn't want any of them....unless I am just buying it just for gaming.

Most likely the E207 is a high customer returned item and Dell sells them off in bulk to liquidators/wholesalers. Just a guess.

Got mine for $525, that is with the -$50 rebate. Prolly be $450 soon after xmas.

You can use it for CRT as well....its just something to aid you to calibrate by eye. The AdobeRGB1998 will work. Make sure you use a profile loader to load the profile. Try a free command line one here: http://www.etg.e-technik.uni-erlangen.de/web/doe/xcalib/

LCD's are dead, but only thing reasonably priced at moment and widely available. SED will be the only thing considered near perfect (size, multiple resolutions, color, response rate, contrast).

Anything that begins with an "E" from Dell is JUNK.

The NEC 20WMGX2 is the best all purpose panel there is right now. It is much better in movies and color accuracy than the Dell 2007. It has has everything the Dell offers and more.

The plant to manufacturer SED is under construction now :D The dream of unlimited colors and 100,000:1 contrast ratio all at less than 1 ms response rate is near...

I think what happens when you fool with the cards gamma is you are just adding on top of the gamma level windows is using. Its always best to leave the graphics card settings at default and use/edit a system wide color profile. Plus Nvidia doesn't recognize all profile versions. I'd load...

I been fooling with calibrating my new NEC 20wmgx2 with a old Spyder2Express because my PRO version is on loan with my sis (grrrrr). Anyway, I thought this be a interesting discussion with those who do have the express version of the colorimeter. First thing I learned is you cannot use the LCD...

I ended up setting my brightness to 20% and left contrast at 50%. I calibrated it in photo mode with DVM off. This thing is so bright that colorimeter will set wrong gamma if left to default.

I'll second everyone who said the NEC 20WMGx2 is the best available right now. I just picked one up for $525 after $50 rebate. You ain't going to find any other LCD that can compare with LG's new AS-ISP panet. It's the best all arounder for under $900.

Which Dell 30 did you review?
