Hi and thanks for helping.
I recently bought a used Dell 2407WFP (because I simply cannot afford a new one). It was advertised as a Dell 2407WFP-HC on craigslist and I paid $450. Looking at the monitor, which I love by the way, I see the model number is:
2407WFPb revA03
After searching online I can't find any place that heps me determine if this a HC or not. Reading "The LCD Thread" here brings concerns to mind regarding both monitors but given the price and how great it is so far I like it.
My biggest concern is I want to finally get into real pro photo/video and my reason for upgrade was to attempt to get a high color gamut and with the 92% CG advertised for the -HC (high color version of this monitor) I was hoping to get my first experience with a pro level monitor.
I know this monitor is not top notch as stated in that thread but I simply cannot afford more. Also as I stated I am novice to good monitors so I'm relying on this to be the closest to what I will now call real color. I will be getting a colorimeter soon but have no experience with one so far.
Do both models have a 92% color gamut? Which model is mine? Is there anything I should know about this particular model?
Thanks for all the input. I am new but want to take this seriously, all feedback is appreciated!
