Dell 19" UltraSharp 1907FP LCD Monitor

Great review. I have to say I am impressed that Dell includes the DVI connector... that is just a great addition. My NEC came with no such connector. My LG TV did though.

The One, The Only...
Some of you know that i have a 32" lcd... the thing I wish it had that this monitor does is an hd input and dual input.
Id someday like to see monitors get what my monitor does have though. A tv tuner. I can do PIP and watch adult swim while i play games.

LCD TV's suck in a sense for computer monitors. My 26" goes up to 1280*768... too odd to do normal stuff with. Gaming is ok with it though.

Obliviot
When LCD monitors came up at a LAN party I was at, all the people were talking about was how crappy games play on them. They seem fine to me. They were talking about a bad refresh rate (which is apparently needed to play FPS games). Im writting with a standard dell 17"crt in case you're wondering.

Mine runs low end high def res and 1280x1024 just fine. And so far it is my fav monitor ever.

Hmm... 1280*1024 on an LCD TV seems wierd to me. If it looks good, that's all that matters.

Does anyone know if this is Dell's 6-bit panel, or if it uses an 8-bit one unlike it's european counterpart?

The review mentioned that the monitor has 2 USB ports when it actually has 4. Two on the back and two on the left hand side of the monitor

1907FP a big downgrade
I'm not sure about this review as the "user opinions" over at the CNET site are more believable. I have both the Dell 1905FP and the Dell 1907FP (which I am returning by the way for a refund).
Color reproduction is unacceptable, darker to lighter colors from top to bottom with washing out, perhaps backlight bleeding on the bottom half of the panel, brightness varys across the panel making it hard on the eyes.
In speeding up this monitor by a different and faster panel they have downgrade this product significantly.
I wouldn't recommend this LCD to anyone as others have commented the same as myself on the poor overall quality of this monitor.
Maybe you were lucky and got one with a good brand of panel. I understand there is more than one brand of panel in the 1907FP.

cleaning the screen
I've been told to use soap and water to clean the dirty screen...I did this and it seems to leave a film...does anyone have any other suggestions?

From there, I would take a very soft cloth and rub back over the screen. I am thinking that the film that was left over is soap. You more than likely used a bit to much. This is just a guess though. I clean my with a damp cloth without soap and have had good results doing that.

Great value
I haven't experienced any of the problems reported by some here. I don't use it for gaming, but as an amateur photographer I do use it for post processing (calibrated with an Monaco Optix XR Pro). I'm very well pleased.
Re: cleaning: I've never had to use soapy water or any liquid to clean my monitor, my laptop display or any of my television (save the only one my 2-year-old daughter can reach). I instead use compressed gas, followed with a couple passes w/ microfiber clothes (use a clean one for each pass).
Do not use a microfiber cloth on "soft" surfaces like LCD monitors and televisions until after you've blown the screen clean w/ compressed gas. The cloth won't scratch the screen cover, but the dust trapped in the cloth can.
Microfiber cloths are available in various sizes, are easily washed (separately by hand is best) and last forever. I use them on my camera lenses as well. You can even find them in larger sizes - great for cleaning the interiors of your car's windows when nothing else will clear haze or streaks.
Anyway, so much for cleaning. A great monitor for the money.

Microfiber cloths help get rid of fingerprints? I've just been using a soft paper towel and water. I guess I am not that concerned, personally. As for camera lenses, I just use a Lenspen... it seems to work fine. Brush on one side and a scrubber on the other.
I might pick up a microfiber cloth and see how they work though. Where is something like that normally kept in a store?

dual monotoring
do you have to use the dvi port to use two monitors? Can't use USB connection for the second monitor?
