I just purchased 2 Dell 1907FP’s and I am very happy with them. No dead or stuck pixels.

You can get one for $219.25 (not refurbished and free shipping) right now. Go to Dell’s web site – follow the home/home office link -> monitors -> 19” and you will see the $254.25 price. At checkout, use Coupon Code: QFTPZQCNBRH9TD and receive an additional $35 off that price.

If you Google these monitors, you will see quite a controversy going on. Seems Dell uses 3 different panel manufacturers. On paper – the specs are different – and folks are not happy about this. There are many (including myself) who do not believe these numbers mean a whole lot.

The 1907fp’s are not an 8-bit panel (like the 1905fp’s were). You will have to pay a lot more $$ for an 8-bit panel. All LCD’s in the “budget” price range are 6-bit. If you are a gamer – then this is a good thing because they are faster.

IMO, these monitors are a great value. With this price break – they are less $$ than most of the 19” on the market, the panel quality is the same (if not better), and they have lots of extras not found on other LCD’s including a 3-year warranty, a stand that has height adjustment (try finding that on the other LCD’s) pivot, tilt, and rotation (again – try finding that on the competition).

I’ve been researching and agonizing over my LCD buying decision for quite a while now and in the end – I am very happy with my decision to go with the Dell 1907fp – and for just $219!!! :-)

PS: If you are interested in the Speaker Bar – you can get it for less on EBay. :-)
