Dell UltraSharp 1907FP user reviews

Pros Flawless service, excellent display

Cons A little bit overpriced

Summary I did alot of searching and searching for a new monitor. I was replacing an old IBM 15" monitor that I had for years. I had a discount through school to save on Dell products. I anticipated buying anything from Dell, but bit the bullet and did it anyway. The online purchasing, tracking my product and delivery were flawless. Now, the monitor was a little bit overpriced, I was amazed at the display and I am not sorry I bought it at all.

Pros clear image, elegant design

Cons terrible colour

Summary I got this monitor to replace my 17" Viewsonic CRT, and was extremely disappointed with the colour rendering on the Dell 1907. Everything looks washed out, like an overexposed photograph. No colour subtlety - and I've played with calibration settings for hours. This monitor would be fine for most text work, but even just looking at my desktop and applications is disappointing. Nowhere near the richness of colour that my Viewsonic had. I wonder if going LCD was the right decision...

Pros Nice text display, DVI input, USB hub, cool looking

Cons Terrible for viewing pictures

Summary I got the Dell 1907 because I thought It was a good deal until I bought a Viewsonic Q7B for my kid. Oh boy, the 17" cheap Viewsonic blowed the 1907 out of the water when it come to viewing pictures. The Dell1907 would have been a great monitor if it were just ok in viewing pictures because the 1907 had a lot of good things like DVI input, USB hub, cool look and excellent text display. However, I have to give this Dell monitor 5 out of 10 because its color is extremly suck. It looks like the 1907 can only display 16-bit color because my pictures always look like they're in 16-bit color. The poor color resolution is more obvious when viewing portrait or high-contrast pictures. At first I thought it was the limit of LCD monitor and I convinced myself to use CRT monitor to view pictures. A few months later, I bought a Viewsonic Q7B for my kid and I was blown away by the Q7B performance. The Q7B picture quality is almost as good as my CRT monitor. My friend has a Samsung monitor and it is much better than the Dell 1907 as well.

Pros 2 tone color, display

Cons Base too small for monior

Summary Over all great monitor. Like the color scheme of the exterior and the vibrant colors.
