LCD Screen Opinions...?

<< < (5/8) > >>

MonMotha:
Yes, with Dell, you generally get the play the panel lottery.  They use the same model number for years and years going so far as to replace essentially every component of the monitor during that time.  The reason apparently is that it makes IT procurement at megacorps easier: they don't have to get a new model number on the approved purchase list. Nevermind that it's not actually the same thing; it has the same model number!

The infamous 2001fp started off with S-IPS panels in the early-mid 2000s then converted to S-PVA panels.  I don't know what they're using now.

Well, I could not find the Dell 1905fp but I did find a Dell 1907FPt for $40 on craigslist.
I could not resist.
It was in pristine condition and right in my neck o' the woods.
So, the 1907FPt has:
 *Good picture! very bright colors nice deep blacks, decent refresh rate.
 *A pivoting base and a 90 deg.rotatable screen.
 *a mysterious black button on the back Who knows what it could be?! self destruct?  :dunno
I plunked her down flat to check viewing angles on a coffee table.
Vertically looked good from both sides. Woo Hoo!
walked to the side for a horizontal check... DOH! yucky color shift. The other horizontal side looks great though.
Hmmm, three out of four sides for good viewing.
 Still, not a bad find. I wil probably stick it In the cocktail anyway untill I find the perfect LCD.

Cheers!

The button on the back releases the stand so you can get at the vesa mount screws.

H2obuffalo:
OOOO! Yep that's what it does! almost dropped that sucker when
I pushed it in hard to test. ::)
Thanks!

lettuce:
the HP LP2065 or LP1965 are good shouts, they are the odd exception in that they have a wide range of refresh rates 45-75 (via analog input). Not sure what panel they have but the viewing angles are good
