I've been looking at 17" monitors myself and am interested in the same way. I think you may be able to call Dell and order the 1704fpt. Not 100% sure though. You should be able to do better than $349 since that is regular price. I have seen comment that the 1704fpt is only available with...
OK, I'll date myself a bit.
The first graphics card I ever purchased was for my IBM Portable 5155. The computer looked like this.
The internal monitor had been going haywire and I had to replace the graphics card. I think it may have been a Hercules or Hercules compatible. The best part...
Warchild123, I agree wholeheartedly with Sadhu's advice.
In addition, maybe the following ideas can help:
1. Given that this has taken so long resolve, I think you are within reason to ask for Overnight Shipping. The problem worsens because it is going on for two weeks. If you were...
Some observations regarding recent posts.
1. Getting an e-mail saying there is a delay does not necessarily mean your monitor won't ship sooner. I received a "delay" email the same day that my monitor shipped. It shipped right around the original estimated ship date, although I was hoping...
Sorry to hear about your experience. To have just 14 days is not a 21 day policy. Dell knows when you received the monitor. I suggest you ask for Dell's Resoultions Department. I find it hard to believe Dell really wants to lose a customer for life over a misleading policy. Try to be calm...
I'm using WMP9 and notice this as well. Even when you go Full Screen, the picture doesn't take up as much of the screen when playing a 16:9 movie as it could. I also use J.River Media Center 10, and this seemed to use as much of the screen as possible without strecthing it.
I couldn't find...
Well, I have to give Dell credit. They came through and delivered my replacement monitor overnight. The one I received yesterday was damaged in shipping.
The 2005FPW is one nice monitor. Text is sharp and colors are vivid. I do have some backlight bleeding in the top lefthand corner...
A slight correction to the OP, in that the 2005FPW resolution is 1680x1050, not the 1600x1050 that was mentioned. I probably wouldn't have even brought this up, but it affects the OP point that you could still view widescreen on the 2001FP. You would not be able to run at 1680 because the max...
Finally received my 2005FPW today (ordered on 11/18). The box was in bad shape. Lots of tape and the cardboard was wrinkled badly on one side. Opened the box and the styrofoam was in pieces. When I noticed some scratches on the back of the panel, I didn't have to go any further. :|...
jpeyton, thanks for the reply. This was the kind of information I was hoping to learn about. I've been looking at cards that Newegg offers, but never heard of the Volari before. The review looks good, so I'll definately consider that one. It seems to offer more performance than the low end...
Hello all. I just ordered a Dell 2005FPW monitor. My system is a 2 yr old Dell Dimension 8250 (AGP) with GeForce4 MX 420 video. I've read conflicting comments on whether or not using the DVI port will result in noticeable improvement in picture quality.
Although I'm not a gamer, I'd like...
Sadhu, thanks for posting your review of the 2005FPW. It turns out I ordered the 2005FPW yesterday, but was suffering from buyer's remorse because I was thinking that the text would be too small, and that maybe the 1905 was better for my eyes and needs. However, the more I learned about the...
Sadhu, I have similar concerns like yours, due to not being as young as I used to be!
I find it difficult to read fine print without my reading glasses and currently have a 15" LCD at home. If I wear my glasses to look at the screen, it is clearer, but I have to sit very close which is a bit...
Sharper Image stores and sharperimage.com have their memory foam pillows at 50% off with the purchase of another item. I bought two standard size pillows plus a 2yr extended warranty for $82 plus tax at a store. I've only slept on it one night, but it has good weight like a TempurPedic. This...
My vote is for the Dell 8250 (contingent on rebates, even with $610 out of $710, it would still get my vote)
I don't think anyone mentioned the $12 Toshiba 2gb pcmcia hard disk from Gateway Accessory.
Thank you iwearnosox for letting us conclude that HawkeyeNJ was not William Cashman.
The mystery is partially sovled. One possibility has been eliminated.
If we are to find out why HawkeyeNJ stopped posting, then we need to know who he is. My best guess is that he died of cancer, but I'd much...
Does anyone know if HawkeyeNJ ever mentioned a wife or children?
Trying to determine if he was married or single. There could be a comment like: My wife thinks I'm crazy trying to find all these deals. I know I've made reference to my family. Maybe he made a similar reference to his.
I know I've been spending too much time on this, but I think that HawkeyeNJ's first name is ADAM. Here's why: (not necessarily-see Edit below)
In this post started by HawkeyeNJ
Webley writes: I can't find the Altec speakers (383530) at Staples.com. Anyone see it there?
Two posts later...
I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but I think it's possible HawkeyeNJ was a doctor. Given his work in a Medical Battalion and the reference to Hawkeye of M.A.S.H. fame. This may help us find out who he was, if in fact he was a doctor.
Good work by esquared (5 posts earlier) to find the off topic comments made by HawkeyeNJ. Best evidence yet that Hawkeye and Cashman are not the same person. (Two sisters vs. one and the mention of Chemotherapy)
Even before reading that post, I was beginning to feel that these are two...
I've read the various posts about HawkeyeNJ since his disappearance last year. While there is a good chance he is William Cashman, we can't be sure.
Best evidence:
1. Match of HawkeyeNJ's Memorial Day post to Cashman serving in the 187th Infantry/101st Airborne
2. Timing of no longer receiving...
My question is similar, so here goes: I already have an 802.11b network installed which is running fine. I'm thinking of purchasing a Panasonic 2.4ghz DSS multihandset phone system. What are my chances of some kind of interference? Thanks, rw, for the tip about changing the WAP channel. Is...
Does anyone know of an MP3 player this drive can go into to make into a Jukebox of sorts? Will it work in something that says TypeII Compact Flash? I know it is PCMCIA, but it also says TypeII, hence my confusion. Thanks to someone who can clear this up.
I purchased a Samsung 753DF in May and the status does not show up on the site. I called and they found my claim and said it would be mailed 9/16. I asked why can't I see it on the website and the guy said, "Sometimes it doesn't show up on the site". That's BS as far as I'm concerned. I...
I am thinking about taking my laptop w/DVD on a long car trip with my kids (ages 17 and 11). However, I'm not sure how to secure the laptop somewhere in the back, between the front seats. If anyone has a suggestion, I'd appreciate it. Also, I'm not sure how much bouncing around the lappy...
I purchased a new TDK drive that came with Nero 5.5. I updated to 5.5.9.0. I previously used EZ CD Basic, but had problems with the software after working fine for 4 months.
I liked the fact the EZ CD would allow you to get track names from the internet, then select the tracks from your...
Mintyfresh, I went to Netflix site and couldn't find anything about a 2 movies plan for $13.95. I tried Netflix a while back and cancelled because I didn't want to commit to $20/mo. I did like the service though. At $14/mo, I'd be tempted to try it again.
If anyone can tell me where a...
I've been using KissLD for two months, and so far so good. They charge 3 cents per min interstate, plus $3/mo. fee. NJ is 3 cents instate as well, which makes it very convenient an attractive for NJ folks. Other states are usually higher, but there is no prepay or 800# to dial first.
By my...
Although I've generally received my rebates, sometimes with extra work, I find them a royal pain. I try to avoid buying something I don't need just because it's a hot deal after rebate. If it's something I'm looking to buy anyway, then I more willing to consider the rebate as part of the deal...
If anyone is curious what they look like, try here:
Kobe Bryant II at Footlocker
I think they're on the ugly side, but if you wear a size 18 you can use the Footlocker coupon and get them for $42.
Speaking of Star Wars, here's a question-- Are the Kobe IIs better than the Kobe-Ones, Kenobi?
:D
For those who have a BJs Wholesale membership, you can get this for $470 with $50 off coupon from store circular, only from 6/1 to 6/7. You can usually ask for the circular at the store if you didn't get it in the mail. No rebate involved.
Great monitor. I have two of them. Amazon has lowered price, however it says not available for free shipping. I recently paid $116AR shipped from Dell, so you may want to check current deals at Dell and compare shipped price.
Interesting comment about the 3 different versions. I am using one of these on my HP running Win98. Recently, I added a new Dell to the home network which runs XP. I was concerned about compatibility and bought the Compaq USB Wireless Adapter. The Compaq looks almost identical to the D-link...
