I decided to get the 2407WFP because of my previously great experiences with Dell Ultrasharp monitors, the amazing specs, the many video inputs, and great reviews. I bought two of these around 2 years ago and still love them. I write code on these monitors, I game on these monitors, and I use these monitors with standard applications such as internet and word processing. These monitors can do it all. Trim is narrow on either side, so I can stick them very close together and have a virtual 3840x1200 pixel screen (very nice). The monitor can be rotated 90 degrees in addition to the height and tilt adjustment. It doesn't "lock" into place at the pure horizontal, so I needed to use a level to make sure it was straight. Movement is a little granular - it would bounce from one point to another an inch away with no in between unless you fiddled with it. There are variations in the maximum height too - one monitor went 1/8" higher than the others. Nit picks, nothing big. Performance for gaming is excellent. No ghosting or lag. Very pleased with them as replacement for my aging 19" 4:3 screens. Very bright screen - I had to turn mine down to 90% brightness. All passive - no noise. Menu is a little odd, but you get used to it and usually only need to use it the one time. Input source is a single button used for rotating selection - no direct buttons. PLENTY of input connectors. I can hook up almost anything with video to it. No HDMI, but that technology became popular after it's release, so I can't blame it for the lack. It does have DVI though which offer the same image quality, just doesn't carry sound. If you're buying this monitor, you probably have speakers anyhow. Color/contrast appears good. I'm sure there are better out there now, but for the money it's a stellar deal. Highly recommended.Read full review
It does look like the picture, but it's definitely a bit bigger in term of width. Not a super flat, feels like it weighs 25lbs, no HDMI, but the picture quality is amazing and the stand can be tilted around easily. This probably used to cost a lot back in its hay day, but today don't spend over $100 for this. Overall: heavier, and older output, but amazing quality, no glares/reflection, so buy it just don't pay too much for it
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The good: Excellent image quality; full array of video ports; picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture options; USB hub; HDCP. The bad: Slightly wobbly base; onscreen menu is tricky to navigate. The bottom line: Dell's 24-inch wide-screen LCD delivers excellent image quality and a ton of connectivity options, including video inputs and picture-in-picture settings. Add in a great price, and the Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP is the best value in its class. The Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP, a 24-inch wide-screen LCD, is another solid entry into Dell's updated UltraSharp monitor line. This $949 monitor boasts plentiful features and connections, excellent image quality, and all the adjustability we could ask for in a monitor of this size. The Philips Brilliance 230WP7 and the Samsung SyncMaster 244T come close to the Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP's performance, but they both cost hundreds more and don't come close to matching the Dell's connectivity options or overall bang for the buck.Read full review
This was actually the 2407WFP-HC. I have three of these monitors and this is the only HC I have; it makes we want get rid of my non-HCs. The color is more vibrant. These are expensive monitors if bought brand new, I think I payed 800 for my first one a few years back. I bought this one from the dell store on ebay, which was refurbished for like 150 bucks. Not a bad deal. You can get newer better models nowdays but why spend all that money unless you need crazy resolutions and very low response times. I game BF3 across three monitors and have no issues, it looks amazing. The only con is these models do not have HDMI ports in the back. Not a big issue though, you still have componet and dvi ports on the back.
I recently put together a triple monitor setup for my gaming rig with three 2407wfp's. I really should have done my homework. I had a 3rd revision 2407 for years, and I loved it. The Rev03 had a rich wide color gamut and super black blacks. Then I got my 2nd 2407, which was a Rev04. The wide color gamut had been removed, which is fine really. I just couldn't get the colors to match perfectly. Maybe it's something that only I could tell. The third monitor I bought though, was Rev02. Talk about buyers remorse. Very poor image quality, grey blacks, ghosting and color bleeding. Clearly I'm not a technical writer, but I know enough to recommend asking what Rev number the monitor is prior to purchasing.
