Well Aside from the banding, I think I like the 2007fp better than I liked the 2405. It has a much tamer level of brightness. No matter what I did with the 2405 I always experienced eyestrain, no problem with the 2007fp.
Plus if the angular tone shift of PVA bothers you, it will be much more annoying in widescreen as the sides are always at an angle.
------------------------- Here is my 2007FP shot ------------------------
Hard to photograph, but this shot is representative. This is perfectly smooth on my CRT, RGB input to the Dell improves it a bit but not by as much as I would have thought.
This shot was done in RAW mode, and converted to TIFF then saved as PNG. So no lossy compression was used anywhere producing the image. This is essentially what I see when looking at a gradient.

source for image: This should be a nice smooth transition without bands.

Spronkey: Yours was harder to photograph but the effect on the top lines was the same, Also I could really spot no visual difference between dithered and non dithered part. They both banded in essentially the same place. Not much banding elsewhere. I don't think this one is as bad as the WFP's.
