It came heavily scratched with not even a power cord. Inside the computer 3 wires were loose and on starting the computer i was greeted with a series of beeps which translated into memory problems (memory turned out to be faulty). MCS would only offer refund with a 20% restocking fee. All in all, terrible. I bought a refurb dell off MCS. It came heavily scratched with not even a power cord.

Haven't seen any ghosting issues so far, in a movie I watched. Not tried with games yet though. Update: New HC arrived today, so far so good.

I am annoyed that I didn't get a product I paid for, but I am very happy with it and at the end of the day; if it aint broke don't fix it! I've compared both the 2007WFP with S-IPS Panel, 2407WFP and 2407WFP-HC and to be honest only real difference I can see is the size :P I guess it must just be my poor eyesight :P @ William: It is a Dell warranty, you phone Dell and its them who deal with the request and provide replacements, you will have to ask MCS for an order number; but Mark should provide it easy enough.

Don't these come with the default Dell monitor warranty? Even if you do have the bad defects you can just get it replaced again. Don’t these come with the default Dell monitor warranty?

It took me ages to find a brand new 2407-A04, even tho the 2407-HC and the 2408 was out at the time. Whist the A04 doesn't have HDMI, it doesn't have the nasty defects of the newer models. The HC version has horrible HORRIBLE inverse ghosting (youtube it) that seriously put me off and the 2408 has nasty input lag, again youtube it. Your actually better off sticking with the 2407-A04.
