    Well I ended up finding a used 2007WFP for $225 and I'm so glad I got it because it turns out to be one of the S-IPS ones, woohoo! I've been reading about banding issues and whatnot about the 2007WPFs, can the S-IPS ones also exhibit banding? What's a sure way to test it for banding? Also...

    Thanks for the reply, just to clear things up a little, the AL2051W is my wife's, I'm currently using a Dell 1703FP. Great little monitor, they don't make them like this anymore, but the problem is, it is "little", I'm dying for a little more desktop space nowadays. Anyway, thanks for the...

I looked at the LP2065 like you suggested, but $350 (+tax shipping etc...) is a bit over...

    This store has the ver2 for $220 and the ver3 for $357. So I guess it's not really $150, I just rounded to the nearest $50 :) But still, that's a very significant difference in my book. Since this thread had the vp930b listed as a viable option for prosumer photo editing, I thought this was a...

    So the initial post gave a few brief descriptions about the differences between the new ver.3 of the VP930b and the previous version (which I assume is ver.2) Has anyone done a direct side by side comparison between the two? This online store has about a $150 price difference between the 2...
