Thanks for posting this! It reminded me of the imaginary girlfriend I had during that time. You can't say 'Morgan' without the Mmm...

I'm here for the same reason. My circa-2004 Viewsonic VP201b is on its last leg But, it's an 20" S-IPS that I've spent years staring into... And it looks great! Wide viewing-angles, excellent balance, depth and color. Last year I tried a Dell 24" S-PVA and some cheap Samsung 19"WS that...

A few quick points... I've made the mistake of trying to visually size-up a monitor at a huge store like Best-Buy. Don't be fooled... The sheer volume of the place dwarves large monitors. A 24" looked small there, but much larger on my desk. Ditto for a 27" TV. The 30" LCDs are limited in...

Well... I have an RMA, but I actually think I may keep it. The backlight is consistent, no dead or stuck pixels, colors are great. It's just the contrast-shift that bugs me. Looking at Ebay, it seems that the resale of Dell 24" is really good, so I guess I could always put it on there in...

Sorry, I don't think I made that clear. The three-year comment was directed to the Viewsonic VP201b that I purchased in 2004. The 941BW was purchased last fall, then returned. It does seem to me that the overall quality of monitors is dropping over the years. We are getting cheaper...

You all make genuinely good points... True, Dell has a great return policy compared to NewEgg. (on paper that is, I'm still finding out after an utterly-frustrating RMA call today and unanswered email Friday) That's why I bought a 2407WFP-HC instead of a NEC 24" from NewEgg. Some people...

That's 178-degrees. Great if it were true... "178-deg" used a good way to ID an S-IPS monitor from the specs. But I think the manufacturers have become wise and started using that figure for everything. The Dell can technically been seen from 89-deg either way, but the image will look...

Yikes... I've been loving my 2407WFP-HC for games so far. But, tonight I put in my Serenity DVD and whoa... image-shift-arama via viewing-angle. It's like it changes Brightness and Contrast depending on viewing angle. At two feet away, it's hard not to miss. Especially in dark scenes...

Before I ordered the Dell 24", I considered the 30" and ran across that pic. So I had to research it a little bit. Any 20" 4:3 at 1600x1200 seems perfect for that. At NewEgg, it appears that 30" monitors have a pixel-pitch of .25mm & the 20's are .255mm. So, I would think any 20", with a...

Not to beat a dead horse here, but... I got some different figures than you Yikes2000. Perhaps I've screwed up somewhere... 27" Image Dimensions: 22.9" x 9.74" Image area: 223.05 sq. in. Cost = $1019.00 Cost per sq. in. = $4.57 24" Image Dimensions: 20.35" x 8.66" Image area...

Yep, thanks Yikes2000 for the contribution. Also, everyone keep in mind, as shown with the TV calculator link, that the image will be bigger but the resolution will be the same.

Wow as355, The photo of backlight bleed looks like glare from something in the room. If that was in a completely dark room, it'd be shocked. I just checked mine with a black background in a semi-dark room and it looks quite uniform, but it's still too bright for pics. I just took four...

I'm a new owner of a 2407WFP-HC, and I like it... a lot. But, I can't help being tempted to send it back for three more inches of screen real estate. So, I ran some calculations to compare (to change my mind) and thought that I would share since I see others weighing the same options. Both...

In Australia... Whirlpool.net.au? http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=767922&p=1 It does seem that they have been having some issues. Like I said before, coming out of sleep it's waaay-blue. But that goes away in about a minute. Overall, it probably does slightly skew...

To add 2cents... I've been eyeing this apparatus for well over a year as I'm a hardcore racing-simmer. I'm disappointed that they require headphones, etc to attach. Seems something like a wrap-around, bluetooth-type earpiece would be more appropriate. I don't want to wear headphones, or...

@netjack I went through the same thing over the phone, insisting on the HC. It didn't seem he was really aware of the difference, but assured me everything was correct. Then right before finishing the order, he read off the marketing stuff, but I didn't hear the "HC". After confirming...

I received mine yesterday and have been gaming a blue-streak. I wish I could help the discussion here, but I can't really quantify my experience. It's just my imprecise, non-reproducible "feelings". (ahh, the lifeblood of the net) It's better than I expected and I'm fairly picky only having...

I just received a 2407WFP-HC from Dell for this very reason. I love NewEgg and have used them for almost everything for years. But recently, when I needed a new monitor, I called to ask specifically about the LCD return policy. I asked "what if I'm just unhappy with the monitor? Don't...

I am as curious as all of you about the image quality... My S-IPS VP-201b has been acting-up over the last six months with blue lines crawling across the top of the screen until it completes a 20-minute warm-up. It makes it impossible to use my original power-scheme of "turn off monitor...

Right you are NeverSummer07... Looks like it will be here tomorrow. I'm looking forward to checking it out. I paid a good deal of scratch for a S-IPS 20" monitor in spring-2004, but it's a beautiful monitor. Viewsonic VP-201b (at the time it was called the first 20" capable of gaming, and...

I'm getting a Dell 2407WFP-HC to run on a separate gaming system. The system has aged a bit, but it's still perfectly usable. AMD FX-60 2Gb Corsair XMS EVGA 7900GTX FSP 700W PS The only games that I play are GTR2 and Rfactor racing simulations. Both run on the same DX9 engine and...

5aboy, reading through this was what made me decide to wait: http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=162570 The colors look much truer on the HC. A little less hyped perhaps. I started checking the site everyday after they were released in Japan. Then yesterday, when it appeared, I...
