yep, that's the TN Film model, totally different kettle of fish compared with the 2407WFP-HC

Baddass · 3 Sep 2007 at 10:45

ps, review you linked at BH is the other AL2416W model, the S-PVA based version

Hi m8

So are you saying that the 2416W's use different panels? Some are TN and others are PVA? Or do they have different model numbers to differ themselves?

Baddass · 3 Sep 2007 at 11:28

they are both AL2416W, however, there's the AL2416W and AL2416Ws which are both S-PVA based. Then there's the newer AL2416WB which is TN Film based. Confusing naming schemes for sure. The spec posted above was the B model, which is TN Film (evident from the 5ms response time, and smaller viewing angles)

Yup the W (nonB is PVA), the WB is TN

Do remember that the dell *usually* comes with a zero dead pixel guarrante which means a lot to me and it certainly adds "something" to the price.

Just got me a 2407WFP-HC for £390 + 20 p&p. You reckon i made a good deal?

bobby_valentino · 3 Sep 2007 at 21:25

Cheekykid is that EX VAT OR INC VAT?
and where does it say on dell's website that it guarantee's zero dead pixels?

That's INCLUDING vat. Am not sure where does it say it on the dell website but quite many shops offer dead pixel guarantee. If in doubt contact dell directly.

There must be something wrong with this guy dell. If my dell is like that its going back!!! :eek:

I see many terrible ghost reports :eek:

. Must be a bad batch by Dell or the guy has some wrong graphic settings.

On the dell forum many people report some nasty ghosting effects. Can any owners here enlight us?

I have one stuck pixel on my 2407WFP i called dell and now i am getting a replacement monitor in 10-14 days.
Just make sure you call them ASAP, I wasnt able to return it just for the stuck pixel but when i mentioned the distance selling regulations (thank you to who ever told me about that, sorry i forgot you name) he said he would send out a replacement.
Be warned, the next day business deal means you get a refurb, but you can ask for a new one, you just have to wait longer like i am, he said its normally less than 10-14 but there is an shortage of LCD monitors (possible reason for the price increase?)

I wonder how bad refurbs are cos I got one within 2-3 days with my viewsonic and the refurb turned out better then the original.... less backlight bleeding/almost more fine tuned and sharper and no dead pixels was chuffed... perhaps a light scratch on 2 on the back...

I think in regards to the Dell dead pixel warranty, I think as ive also learned its done thru the retailer not thru dell direct (could be wrong) but another chap selling them said cos he spends upto 4 mill per year with dell there business account gives them a zero dead pixel warranty.

So just likes Mr bunny and It guy they gotta perhaps do it thru there own Dell business account.

Despite all the expense and wondeful stuff you put into your machine, ultimately it's the monitor that is the window on all this stuff. With that in mind, trying to economise on this item is mega false economy imho. If the Acer is £250 and the DELL £400ish, then an extra 150 quid here is a great investment for this superb monitor.

I am running a Siemens/Fujitsu 19inch LCD at th moment and in my view it's got to be the DELL. However, I am going to wait a little until before Christmas before taking the plunge sinc I reckon they might drift down to £350 or so.

My 2c.
