dell 3007wfp

tommy_knockers · 8 Feb 2007 at 12:20

Hello all. I have a dell 2407wfp atm. However due to some issues (rev a03) I want to upgrade. I know a mate who is shifting his 30" beast. He is selling it for £650. It is in perfect conditin.

Could someone please list the ins and outs. I know there is google, but you are real people

not people paid off to do reviews.

Could you have a list of the positive features and negative.

Also will it run on my rig? I play mostly steam games with a bit of battlefield 2.

cheers

p.s hd is must

bumpity bump.

Any ideas

It should be fine as long as you keep settings low-mid. Not sure about that card playing in 30". Maybe someone with a similar set-up can give u advice on it.

It might be worth offloading that card before the 320MB GTS arrives, you should still get a good price for it and with a small amount on top, be able to pick up the G80, which will give you far better performance with that screen.

I think the only real way to play games on that screen with high detail is a pair of 8800GTXes though, anything else and you'd be turning settings down.

A bit off-topic perhaps, but what issues are you having with the 2407WFP A03? I was under the impression that this revision had fixed most issues, e.g. banding.

I've just purchased a 2407WFP A04 which should arrive next week, but I'm still curious what problems this line has.

its a pos.

Lol.

Not really. It just suffered from REALLY poor dvd playback.

It has a 5yr warrenty.

Good news is that dell are replacing it tomorrow

Heres hoping i get a a04

running 3007WFP with the card in sig. mid settings are okay at the high res, but pushing high or max settings gets me about 10-15FPS.

fantastic monitor try and get your hands on a A03 revision as i have the A02 and it has some blacklight problems.

other than that a really good monitor and well worth that kind of money, i got mine for £824

Ahh, I see. I'm sure it will be fine, even got a 100% no dead pixels guarantee.

Nice upgrade from my 20" Viewsonic widescreen

Did you buy directly from Dell the A04 revision??

No, it was from a well know auction site. The only place in the EU I could find it to be honest, otherwise I would have gladely got it from OcUK.

A well known auction site eh. Well lets just say everyone knows about it. I have had my Dell A03 for about 1 1/2 months and I want a A04. Cant play Xbox oe consoles. Should I return mine to Dell and get one form the "well known" auction site or is it just not possible returning to Dell because of these pixel mapping flaws? What do u say/
