New dell 24" ultrasharp coming? Question on new 24" TN panel

So, after finding out about the overdrive ghosting problem with the Ultrasharp 2407's, I decided not to get one. I heard one person say in passing though, that Dell is about to announce their new 24" ultrasharps, and was just wondering if there was any truth to this? I assume any future generation of 24" monitors wouldn't have this problem... Also, since the 22" and new 24" (non ultrasharp) dells are TN panels, they won't have this problem, but I'm wondering what kind of drop in quality there will be from the UltraSharp to the non-Ultrasharp.

excuse me if theres an edit option, but i didnt see it. I forgot to ask, if...and it's a big if...I chose to buy the 2407-hc and found this problem to be bad enough to make me not want the monitor, would I be able to return the monitor for a flat out full refund?

Yeah I wasn't really considering that, just curious. However, there is already a 24" TN panel out -- it's not a "future" panel. What I'm asking is if there's really a 24" UltraSharp coming (a non-TN panel with the defects fixed)

15 day satisfaction guarantee mate. So yes, you could, but to avoid the hassle, I'd have a careful think about it.
 
Personally, I'd opt for a current 2407 even with 'defects', over a future panel that could potentially be using TN technology.
 
I just have an inherent thing against TN panels.

TN panels noted for side to side viewing angels have washed out display at an angle.
S-PVA's ans S-IPS are better side to side.

The ghosting issue seems to be worse on some panels and not as bad on others, depends what you get, you can return it for a refund and if it's defective ask for a prepaid return shipping and don't pay restocking since it'll be Dell's fault.

Yeah I'm aware of all that. My main question is just are new 24" PVA panels coming out? A 2008 edition that will eliminate the ghosting problems with the 2407.

No body knows for sure, but...When was the last time Dell launched an all-new monitor with a non-TN panel? The 2407WFP-HC doesn't count, as it is a  upgrade (?) of the 2407WFP
 
Hopefully, Dell is not moving to an all-TN lineup

did the 2407WFP (non HC) have the inverse ghosting/overdrive ghosting problem that is on the HC? I've heard you can sometimes still pick these up. Also does ultrasharp=HC?

No, have three 2407WFP's, no ghosting.
Yes.
No.

Thanks for the help. Where can I get one of the 2407WFP's...Dell no longer makes them, correct?
