What revision do you have and when did you receive it?

Ao1

received it this month on the 6th

Oh man. I did tons of research on LCD's and finaly decided to get a 2007FP. I just recieved it on the 14th or 15, and am just now finding out about all these problems and revisions. I'm a digital artist who will be the laughing stock of his friends since i was all about getting a great LCD for digital painting.

How can i tell what version i have?

I'm sure its not the new one though since i can see banding in gradients. Its only in gradients though. Everything seems to look fine, but when i draw a gradient in photoshop i can see little bands in it.

its on the box for the monitor. it says what revision it is. I just found out that revision a02 is a "fixed" version. whatever that means.

I think they just switched some feature off that was broken instead of actually fixing it.

Yeah mine is an A01

This is an awesome nightmare. After i buy the LCD i fire up photoshop and see the banding. Then on these forums i read all about how bad it is. Some people said that the S-Video looks better so i hooked it up. Same amount of banding but i can see flickering running through it as well!! so it was back to the DVI. Then i go to dell.com and find out that the monitor i JUST bought is at a far cheaper pricepoint :).

Most likely i'll just end up sticking with the banding. I wish there was some sort of home fix for this.

I found a fix for it. Although it took some doing, caused me a lot of frustration. I contacted customer service using chat because contacting by phone caused people to not want to help.

Anyways, the fix is, sending it back and buying a different brand, i.e., viewsonic, benQ, etc. Customer support/service is neither. They only attempt to frustrate you and try to make you feel stupid and that it is your own fault.

If you have a product that is broken (and simply disabling something that should work in order to fix something is not actually a fix because, well...its still broken.) send it back, pay the 20 bucks shipping or contact support and complain, contact the better business bureau (as I was one click away before getting satisfaction) and complain there and maybe even file a complaint on planetfeedback com. This may get your situation resolved if you are getting no satisfaction from customer (non) support.
