I got mine this morning, it's all set up and I've been playing with it for about an hour. It's bloody superb :D

Mine's a rev 04, no dead pixel I can see. I've been watching Casino Royale for about 30 mins, looks great, no tearing as far as I can tell.

The IQ is shockingly good compared to my Viewsonic 930P, text looks much sharper than the 930p

I noticed the Dell came with some software/drivers. Do I need to install this? The monitor looks great without it at the moment.

What GFX card / OS / player? I got the same one 1 week ago rev 4 and I can see some tearing in movies.
 
What movies? HD ones?

It may well just be that the machine can't decode the video well enough and it's the player that's tearing rather than the monitor. I get this with HD stuff in WMP, try VLC instead with the CoreAVC codec.
 
I tried VLC and I get red screens only. How I use this codec in VLC?

btw I think I ve noticed slight tearing with divx.

You guys got any tearing when watching video? I am not sure if its a technology limitation or my screen and if I should sent it back while I still can :(

I am not very expert with LCDs and I dont know how to check if its faulty.

It won't be the monitor.

wanted to watch HD trailers in 1:1 mode

1:1 mode only has any relevance (in the context of 1080p movies) when using an external device like a HD movie player, PS3 or 360. When watching HD movies from a PC the screen resolution doesn't change from 1920*1200 which is always displayed 1:1, and it's up to your movie software to either display the movie 1:1 or stretch it (for which it should have settings to give you both options).
 
I am wondering if with PVA panels (2407) when you view at angle if is normal for the colors to change slightly, and mostly the brightness?

Yeah it is totally normal. It's just a weakness of LCDs. The colour change would be a lot worse on a TN+Film panel, the vertical viewing angles on those are so bad that if you set the whole screen to a single colour, you actually get a gradient from the top to the bottom of the screen. Viewing angles with PVA are very good for LCDs.
 
I feel better with this monitor every day. The only "problem" I need to solve now is the sync with movies. I think I managed to get rid of it apart from .mov off apples site. Maybe if I watch movies using an HD player it will be the best to do? A dedicated player is supposed to work out of the box I guess?
