Dell 2007wfp with s-pva panel any good?

[Trav]

Hi

I am looking at ordering the dell 2007wfp as it is currently on sale over here in NZ, however I am aware that i will most likely receive one with an s-pva panel and i was wondering if it is any good. I will be using it mainly for gaming but also web browsing, word documents etc. Does anybody know if it suffers from input lag, ghosting etc or is it still a pretty good monitor?

Thanks for all your help

This is a common unit and well liked. That it has an SPVA panel @ 8ms makes it one of the "best all around"..... not as fast as the speedier TN panels, but better color, contrast, viewing angles.

It's an okay panel for the price, but the "bait and switch" is mainly what is making people angry. It suffers from a color wash when viewing it from an angle. This bothers some people but not most. You can't really tell unless you have the monitor in front of you.

Depending on how sharp your eyes are, you might or might not notice the picture quality difference if you just view it independently without a point of comparison.

It has some lag like all LCDs but should be good enough for normal gaming with no noticable ghosting. If you're a hard core FPS who needs 60FPS minimum, that's different and the 2007WFP isn't the right panel for that no matter which panel you get.

I think the Samsung 215TW uses a different S-PVA panel and has very good image quality, but it's more expensive and does have some input lag, so it might not be for you if you are sensitive to it.

It's not a bad monitor. You do get the 21 days to make a decision and can exchange if the color wash ends up bothering you.
