The ULTIMATE Ultrasharp! (The Dell 2007FPb in 2020) 

As a heavy retro gamer, I can really appreciate a good 4:3 (or heck, even a 5:4) monitor. Great stuff!

I have a 16:10 Version of this monitor. Awesome Colours on it for an older TN Panel. Dell truely do make some of the best monitors around, suprisingly cheap too!

I remember one day I found a dell 2007wfpb monitor in trash. When I turned it on, I was surprised by that picture quality, but it had a problem - it was turning off by itself. Inside a monitor there was a faulty resistor which I removed from the motherboard completely. After the modification it worked for about 2 hours, and then it just died - stopped turning on completely. Had to go back to trash, where I found it. R.I.P. dell 2007 wfpb monitor.

Hey man good job Keep up the good work I really loved your fx videos Please keep making budget builds and overclocking videos

I've actually got one of these on the way haha! Funnily enough, I'm going to be using it with an xbox classic on my desk and this was a prime candidate because of the 4:3 resolution and the s-video input. Great video mate!

Using 3 of them is an amazing experience and maybe the cheapest way to play with Nvidia Surround

Found your channel through green ham gaming, cool to see you also know about this monitor. I managed to find a 2007fpb (LG IPS version) from a thrift store for $10, and i love it

I got a Dell 1708FP for free from work, they were about to throw it away. I still have it, and it's great.

Just got a Ultrasharp 2007WFP, loving it!

the 75hz refresh is just the cherry on top to an already excellent monitor

Any similar monitors with a little bit faster response time? The only issue on this monitor is the ghosting, so im searching for alternatives that are the same size.

Absolutely love this kind of vintage product, I have 16:9 ration of this model.

FWIW, I just found this video because I'm looking at monitor upgrades and wanted to find some stats on my existing monitor ... a Dell 2007FBb, on which I just watched this video! It has served me well for over a decade, but I'm finally joining the wide screen world. Think I'll keep this one around though!

I found one in a trash pile No scratches thankfully Plugged it in Switched it on Boom it works

2022. Just bought 2 of these. It is one of the very best flatscreen monitors for emulation (4:3, 1600x1200 / 240 lines (retro-resolution) x 5 = 1200).

Dell has always made great screens, back to the old CRT’s, which were Sony Trinitron Tubes

Nice! I'd be looking out for one now if it had RGB Scart or Component. I just got a Samsung Syncmaster 5:4 with SCART for my PS2 and gamecube, my hopes were high but sadly the de-interlacing is not so good and its a bit grainy. Does this one deinterlace well? Parhaps even s-video with this would be better

I picked up 5 of these. The stands are not interchangeable as the monitors are too heavy for the stands of say a 1907 which causes them to immediately fall to the lowest position. I have found the composite input to be very finacky, they just do not like many 50hz pal inputs.

i just picked up a 1908fp for 8 bucks at a thrift. i mostly bought it for the stand; since i have a standless 2407wfpb in the mail. with composite, s-video _and_ component... but the 1908 is in such nice condition that i might just use both.

Picked one up today at Goodwill in great condition for only $8! Love legacy hunting!

Will this paír good with a retrotink 5x pro ? Or there will be much input lag i saw one of this for like 20 bucks on marketplace

Awesome monitor the 2007 have 3 of them and trying to fix the fourth one I have on storage.

I got the old version but to my surprise it doesn't have the profile option for it's display. How can I get it back, please need help over here.

I still got my one, and in very good condition

Hi and thenk you for the upload. I am looking to buy one of these and would appreciate f you know the answers for these questions: 1. Do you know the backlight lifespan for the model or if there is an OSD backlight hours counter? 2. Do you know the minimum brightness level it could reach? Today`s DElls of 300cd/m2 start at around 40cd/m2 minimal brightness.

I've just bought one of these monitor today and I honestly can't wait to try it now that I've seen your video

i am sill using my 2408 , purchased in 2007, 13 years already

Have you managed to get this running 480p from a console? I have one and love it, but the one thing keeping it back from being perfect is getting it to accept a 480p component signal. Component > hdmi > dvi it says “signal not accepted”, really sucks

Our school has the 19 inch variant. Apparently they were $310 new back in 2006. Like th USB hub as well

I have the 2408WFP which also has the crazy amount of inputs adding HDMI and Displayport and a larger 24" PVA panel which has some excellent black levels. I think you could definitely do worse than to buy one of these on the used market. Although reliability is questionable considering that these pre 2010 monitors all use an inefficient CCFL backlight that produces a ton of heat and degrades very noticeably over time. My 2408 needs about 30 minutes to reach peak brightness. I think something like the 2412 (or 2413 for more inputs) would be a better investment. They also look pretty cool, but use a significantly better LED-Backlight and IPS-panels while not being too expensive on the used market compared to these silver-oldies.

i found 3 of these in the garbage and they work vary nice

I have the HP equivalent of this Monitor, an LP2065. its also a crazy sturdy monitor with great viewing angles even 15 years later :P it kinda loses out in connectivity though with only 2 DVI-D Ports

I have noticed that my monitor works very well when I am using Linux, but for same resolution on Winodows 10, it gives me very bad resolution. I don't know how to solve this, tried installing some drivers, but it wasnt succesful.

I accepted one of these specifically for the Video and S-Video inputs. It looks like it doesn't accept my PAL VIC20 and C64 signals though. That's a bummer. I'll have to experiment a bit more.

This almost feels like Green Ham Gaming but British... Hell, I looked up old Dell Ultrasharps, and felt like GHG would make a video on them.

I have a 1707FP monitor, it was £5, has some damage, but it's great for my 2002 Duron system!

My school was giving these away for free there not bad

I used to have the Dell ultrasharp 1908FP monitor. Very similar to this monitor, only it was 19 inches with a resolution of 1280 x 1024. It was very good and I liked it a lot but unfortunately the power button broke making it unusable. :/ A Google search revealed that this was a very common problem with this monitor.

Anyone tested this monitor with retro computers, consoles via VIDEO, S-VIDEO? Is the screen displayed correctly? Suitable for e.g. a retro Amiga computer? Commodore 64?

I have a similar monitor, although it’s only 1280x1024 and has no s-video or composite in.

Do you or anyone know why my vga is only showing in pip mode on this model

Is the 16ms respond time only on 75hz?

turns out i had one of these bad boys in my basement, pretty epic

lol I got 3 of these, they are like 9,99$ now and I painted them Oyster white. Still great for retro gaming etc.

Is that good for gaming?

getting one of these soon

I so want this for my arcade machine. I am using a 24 inch Acer 16:9 and it is bonkers bad.

There is also HDMI input?

does the 2007fpb feel like 1080p to you?

Wish I have one of these

The Dell U2711 is fantastic if you can find one because of the sheer variety of ports it has, and the 2560x1440 resolution is still great to use day to day now.

It's funny I'm watching this video on a 2007FPb :) Got it from trash few years ago, it would not boot because of some shorted resistors. And yes I like it too.

I have a problem, hopefully someone can help. I have the same monitor, the stand is stuck, can't go up and down. Even i press the lock button.

it definitely works good with old consoles (NES, SNES, N64, GC, PS1, PS2, XBOX, etc.) and the 8 bit computers (Apple II, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, TI-99/4a, etc.)

Is it really that good?

has anyone had issues with these connecting to a PAL composite/S video signal? it's clearly recognising something but i'm just getting the little input icon flashing in the corner and no picture

well if you still want a classic 5:4 square monitor dell still sells the P1917s

sah showroom kaha par hai in vadodara ??

i really want one with vesa mounting...

What about the HP LP2065?

I was looking for one to put into a arcade cabinet build I’m looking at doing, my only concern is the power consumption 😳

Are use that Monitor it as my third monitor

Chad 3007WFB

im trying to use this for my xbox how do i change the screen resolution because right now it looks like trash and i dont have a windows computer to change it just the xbox system.

Great screen, a shame dell didn't made a bigger one.

I still using this in office.

I having this same moniter

I have a dell sp2008wfp

do you know if you can view 240p over S-video? i want to play my SNES on it!

Is it possible to connect a retro console like SNES or Gamecube to the Dell speakers?

I am pretty confused, is the montior frame itself 4/3 or 5/4

I use this monitor

I got this for free! Great for MAME!

whats the difference between 2007FP Vs 2007fpb?

The 2407WFP is the best out of the bunch since it's 1980×1200. Only drawback is the 60Hz refresh rate :/

well we need 5:4 and 4:3 monitors to come back! Because for guys like me that want two displays but two 16:9 is too wide. One 5:4 or 4:3 paired with a 16:9 is just right.

i got one for free left out in my apartments lobby, works good.

I have this monitor already. Now I'm going to buy a PC next month, cause past one broke :(

I think the Dell U2711 is also a dream for retro gaming, because it's IPS, 1440p(giving you access to 1600x1200 or 1920x1440), and has: HDMI DVI Displayport VGA Component Composite So effectively only missing S-Video but I think I would rather Component over that. If you can find one for a good price I highly recommend it.

i bought the 1917s and the viewing angle is terrible, how about this one

Just asking are there any hdmi ports?

My 4 3 monitor supports 1600x1200 by over clocking and the monitor like knows that someone will overclock it to 1600x1200

Can we play gtav in this monitor

Does anyone know how to connect this onto a ps4

that is older then me

1280x1024 is not 4:3, it is 5:4.

Only downside is power consumption... 75w!

2:08 16: 10*

I just bought a 2k + (€) Gaming PC and my mother wanted to give me this monitor. I mean yeah thanks but I don't think that's the right choice for a main monitor when you have a RTX 3080 😂.

I’m just looking for a good monitor that runs video games really well and if you have any idea then please comment on my comment

1:00 no they wont. 3:00 after all the negatives, where are the positives? besides it having a nice adjusting stand? lol. I say this because I own one and you've not mentioned anything about image quality. I assume this is just a churn and burn affiliate-commission channel. 3:40 you mean outro?

75 watts 😥

NOT TO MENTION THEY ARE LIKE 100 DOLLARS ON eBay!

I have it and i get electrecuted evertime i touch it ;-;

I like older dell from 1999 to 2015 newer is a joke.

16ms is a long time. Not only can you feel it in gaming, but you can audible hear a 16ms delay as an echo. That's how long it is. You're much better off getting a modern display and adapters for gaming.
