REVIEW: Dell 2007WFP Part 10


DVD/Video

When it came to DVD playback, the Dell 2007WFP was able to deliver convincing performance. Thanks to the aspect ratio of 16:10, the black bars at the top and at the bottom are significantly smaller than they would be on a monitor with 4:3 or 5:4 format. Playing back movies, e.g. via external DVD player, effects such as occasional combing and the fixed aspect ratio being displayed faultily will surface.

The image quality achieved in PC mode is very good. Subtle color gradients and shades of grey are depicted neatly.

Dark movie passages, fog, snow flurry, or glare effects pose no problem at all for the Dell 2007WFP.

Scene from the movie "Terminator 3"

The S-IPS panel of the Dell 2007WFP proves up to depicting fast action scenes, cuts, or camera pannings without any traceable amount ghosting occurring.

Scene from the movie "Star Wars Episode III"

For PC mode, we can assess the Dell 2007WFP very good DVD performance. When feeding video signals via DVD player, be it digital or analog, results need to be ranked significantly lower.

Conclusion

As to range of features, connectivity options, and fabrication quality, it’s a head-to-head finish for the Dell 2007WFP and its predecessor 2005FPW. However, the 2007WFP manages to come out on top in terms of case design; and with the DVI input supporting HDCP, it does have a clear advantage over the 2005FPW.

The OSD of the Dell 2007WFP has a nice look to it, while being concisely structured at the same time. Compared to the 2005FPW, however, it takes more clicks to get you where you want when operating the OSD. On a critical remark, we have to point out the drawback of the fixed aspect ratio interpolation being displayed faultily.
Overall, the difference between the 2005FPW and the 2007WFP turns out to be smaller than we expected.

Overall rating: GOOD
