I know how u feel, my first 2007WFP had it bad i mean...URGHHHHH
Tell them on the phone (to avoid problems) that you are aware of the product's problems via the dell forums (and others)
You have tested on 5 different machines (each with different DVI cable and GPU) with same results
They'll send u a new one out next day (or day after) and keep doing this till ur satisfied
Mine does have banding but its not noticeable especially on desktop mode

Mine is fine rev A04 ?
make sure its in desktop mode
if you're not happy send it back mate
do people notice slight ghosting on it?
i do in 2142 during snowy maps when the screen goes from darkish colour to the white/light grey, nothing major.. i guess being used to 3.9ms on another screen kinda changes your standards

honestly, the banding will be little or no problem to the average user.
but for someone who explod a photo for searching colour problem, or editing session, that tiny tiny little bit of banding is too much.
i just hope dell is going to do something for me that will sort it out.......otherwise this monitor is no good for photo editing.....
blah, p!ssed me off big time........

i'm a graphic designer and tbh mate if you want absolutely NO banding use a CRT, they are true 32 bit
most/all(to myknowledge) TFTs are still 24bit or (slightly/slightly more) above so you will always have SOME banding on tfts
i use the same monitor for my work and it's not very noticable at all tbh just get yours swapped out mate

yupyup, agree 100%, i do still have a 19'' CRT, its big enough to do most things, and i got colour setting to nearly perfect.....still use it when i have some photos that needs to have 100% faultless results...
dont get me wrong.......the banding is not really noticable, i can live with it, but as soon as i need to do something big (not in size....), it drives me up the wall!

I had the same problem with my 1st 2007WFP (Rev A01 at the time) and I got it changed for a A03 which had the same problem and also a dead pixel. So called Dell up again and they came out the next day and replaced it with a A02 which has been fine ever since.
