I did some digging on the 2007FPW vs. the 2005FPW, and found some juicy tidbits for those who may be interested
As Saz mentioned, 2007FPW offers HDCP over DVI (not to be confused with DHCP :lick
which will make it ready for Windows Vista HD-DVD and other set-top box connections. Apparently the 2007FPW has more uniform backlighting, compared to some of the early 2005FPW's which had noticeable hotspots in their backlighting, leading to poor black levels.
On a more personal note, I read that the 1680x1050 in the 2007FPW is actually just shy of half a million MORE pixels than the current 19" LCD I have - WOW. Another huge difference, comparing what I have to this, is the Dell is 16:10 whereas my 19" is a soultry 5:4
I won't bore with many more specs that can easily be googled (as long as you aren't lazy like Saz
), but that has made my decision easy. The proposal is in for the project, and if it's approved I'm getting 2 :smoker:
Which also means I will need a new video card. There is no way I'm going to put one of those on VGA (current card has one type of each head).
