Initial Impression & Build Quality
Upon initial unboxing of this giant monitor when it arrived I was just blown away at the size. It literally towers over other monitors (including the 2405FPW) it's so big. I actually started wondering if I would have adequate space on my desk for my front speaker, breakout box, etc. After a big of playing around with everything on my desk it fit nice and snugly in the middle.
The build quality of this display is of the best craftsmanship available. Nothing feels flimsy or cheap, and the weight of the monitor represents its build quality well. The Dell design team did a fabulous job with the external appearance of this set, it's a beautiful addition to anyones desk.
Dell decided to go with a newly designed permanently affixed stand for this monitor, I would assume due to the weight of the panel. The stand is 100% metal w/ a rubber base to keep your display from slipping off the back of your desk. This stand seems much sturdier and well made than the snap-on style stands found on the smaller Dell counterparts. The stand is adjustable up and down, so far down in fact that you can make the bottom edge of the screen stand about 1/2" from your desk. It is also features an adjustable cant found on most monitors. The only thing that the new base misses is the ability to turn the monitor to a "portrait" style layout. Who ever uses that anyhow? ;)
To keep the looks of the monitor clean, Dell did away with the conventional button setup found on all of their other displays. This display features three "light touch" buttons in the lower right hand corner. These buttons are hard to describe; there is no physical button but when you touch the indented area it recognizes your finger is there, I love it! The three buttons control power on/off and brightness up/down. All other adjustments are made via your computer.

Hey mate
I believe Frag and twisted will know as Dave said.
I'm pretty sure our version was the samsung panel though

Yes the model that I had (and that twisted now has) rocks the Samsung panel, which is like an orgasmic explosion of colors and crispness. Nothing can compete, muahahaha!
I had absolutely no backlight bleeding issues. More than likely what Hexus was talking about was the fact it only appears to have uneven backlighting if you sit to close to the set. I at first experienced this and was a bit distrought until I pushed the set back about a foot and everything was then perfectly even. It's hard to sit too close to a monitor that big as the backlighting will look a bit uneven due to the extreme viewing angles.
Hands down the 30" Dell is PURE PWNAGE!!!

Thanks to all for quick responses. From what I understand, Dell will use either LG or Samsung panels indiscriminately. Probably according to which offers the best deal at any one time. Dell sales rep. (in India!) told me that they cannot (or will not) pick out a Samsung panel at request. They do claim to have stringent quality control, so there is nothing to choose between LG or Samsung based units. This might be true, but I understand that the Samsung S PVA panels are superior. Trouble is they do not seem to be available in the UK under their own brand, and we have no choice other than Apple (much more expensive) or Dell in this size.
There is one way to try without risk: if the Dell proves to be duff on arrival, then there is the option offered by Dell of a full refund within 7 days, for any reason. This seems a pretty fair deal to me.

I would imagine that either one you get will please you tbh, just pick one up and see for yourself
I'd love to pick up a 30" Apple Cinema Display for my MBP but damn are they spensive.

Always remember that if you're not satisfied Dell do a next business day swapout for another one

I had the same experience Frag did with being too close to the monitor at first. I actually sit about 4-5 feet away and it is great! I hate having to go to work and use the small 15" monitors or even my roomates Dell 24". We had them sitting right next to each other a few days ago playing the same games on almost the exact same system and you could tell the difference in quality. The 3007wfp was by far the superior monitor imo.
When u fork out $2k for a monitor, that's the kind of quality that you would exect and the Dell delivers on par for the price if you ask me. Twaz worth every cent.
Definetly was worth every .01!
I am pretty well convinced. I wonder if you guys who have used the 3007 WFP can help me with one more point. The 2560 x 1600 display format is wider than the standard 1280 x1024 that I use, and I wondering how the extra width can be usefully used. I want to open up several documents together, say spreadsheets, or to spread out in Photoshop, with pallettes shifted off the image area. I know this is possible with two monitors, which is the alternative option, but is there a way to fill the 2560 x 1600 real estate on the single monitor, using the full width?

Oh yeah there is. I sometimes have two or even 4 websites open at once spread out on the screen so I can do different things at once. It is really nice and spacious like that If you want tomorrow when I get home from work I can take some pics with different windows open etc just so you can see the amount of space it has. Who knows, Frag may already have some laying around like that.

^^That's my baby! God I love that monitor
How do you get that many websites at a time? Is it a program or the monitor? I have a 19" widescreen would it work?

Now this is in stark contrast to the condemnation on the Hexus.net site of the uneveness of the backlighting (on two examples) and how this aspect compares unfavourably with the Dell 24" 2405FPW monitor.
Now I am in a quandary. The conclusions of the two reviews cancel eachother out, and there is no concensus.
I understand the Hexus.net review samples were based on LG flat panels, but the Samsung panel, also used by Dell, is the better option. Perhaps the review sample here was a Samsung panel.
I wonder if anybody has tried a Dell 30" TFT monitor and can enlighten me with their experience.
