First of all, thanks to forum graphics pros and ChrisM for refusing unacceptable characterisitics of Rev A00 monitors.   What I received today: 2007FP Rev A02 (NEW) Samsung PVA, LTM201U1 Made in Mexico. May 2006 Zero banding Sharp text No Dead Pixels   IMO, outstanding color, contrast, viewing angle It is a pleasure to look at this monitor.   Thanks again. Best of luck to those strill awaiting A02 monitor.

I thought it uses S-IPS panel... Did Dell change 2007FP panel from LG Philips S-IPS to Samsung PVA to prevent 'banding' ?

He's talking about the FP not WFP (widescreen). The FP started with LG.Philips S-IPS panels then switched to Samsung S-PVA. This was before the banding firmware revisions. Some people have recieved S-IPS replacements though. Message Edited by gpro on 07-25-200606:55 AM

According to a Dell sales rep that I talked to yesterday, the 2007wfp is no longer an S-IPS but is now the Samsung S-PVA as well!

According to my understanding this is true below, I'll have to double check tonight at home because now I am doubting myself. So ignore what I said, I'll double check.

for the 2007WFP you should see: LPL WSXGA LM201W01

LPL = ?
WSXGA refers to the resolution (ie Wide SXGA)
LM201W01 is the panel model (LG.Philips S-IPS)

ALL 2007WFP use this panel (so far, anyway)

Well that's going to stir things up here ;) Did you check on the service menu? Is it the LTM201M1?

Ignore this below until I confirm tonight.

Yes I just received my 2007WFP A02 revision and it unfortunely is a Samsung made in Mexico. Should I just keep my A00 S-IPS LG one and return this A02 Samsung? Oh btw I BELIEVE this is not a refurbished, it looked brand new in my eyes. So that must mean all 2007 are now S-PVA and not S-IPS :(

The IPS panel is what I thought was buying when I ordered the 2007FP. (I also have a 2001FP with a Philips panel.)
