Well. I tried out the cheaper Dell 2407WFP and its a piece. I will briefly discuss its evils.
1: Gradient banding, everything that involves a gradient looks like crap.
2: I have to fiddle with buttons to get the thing to look good.
3: Inputs, yeah it has some nice inputs. Too bad they don't work. This includes the DVI which is where you see the gradient banding. The composite looks horrible when you connect something to it. Basically to use the monitor, you have to a the VGA connection for everything. Very useful.
4: I will admit it looks ok, and is priced great. But I deal in graphics, and I need a little more precision and image quality than this thing offers.
Sooo. I am going back to my original plan to get a 23" ACD. I knew they just updated them with a lower price and better specs.
I was thinking though, maybe Apple did this to drive more sales before a larger update? I think I am going to wait until next week before I buy. Just to see what they announce.
Any other thoughts on that? Any other LCD recommendations. Preferably an 8-bit S-IPS panel.
