[tr1kstanc3]

i got the 1905 this week. i noticed alot of ghosting while playing games. the 2005fpw is much better for gaming if that is what you are planning on doing. mine is a revision A01 (sticker on back of panel)

For those that are seeing ghosting... did you install the Dell drivers and set the resolution to 1280 X 1024?

Help me locate the Dell Drivers... I couldn't seem to find them for some strange reason.

Thanks!

They showed up for me when I ran Windows Update...

 

[Netopia]

Put in the CD that came with the monitor.

Go to device manager under system properties.

Go to monitors.

Whatever monitor is there, open it up and click on update drive.

Tell it to look on the CD.

It will find them by itself.

After install, change the resolution.

Done

Got the 1905 yesterday. Version A01. I updated the monitor driver and i am running most games in 1280x1024. Havent had alot of time to experiment. I am using the DVI with a Radeon 9800pro 256mb card. I noticed a tiny bit of lag at 1024x768 on CS Source, no real ghosting though. I had ALOT of lag and some ghosting on Neverwinter Nights at 1280x1024 so i switched to 1024x768 and it seems smoother now. I have randomly tried a few of my games and although they are not quite as smooth as my Samsung 955df I am happy to report that ghosting and/or lag is not as big an issue as these forums had me worried about. Maybe its the driver, maybe its the video card, maybe I'm just vision impaired. I admit its not as good as the CRT was, but the minor "lag" is a fair trade off to me for the clarity and flexibility of the LCD. ANyone have an opinion on whether better game performance will be achieved by using the vga cable or the dvi?

--> For those of you considering the purchase and wanting to know what the lag/ghosting is like: It reminds me of playing a graphically demanding game and having either a slightly under-par vid card or not quite enough ram, sort of a slight hesitation. Not really a huge thing to me yet, but as I said I havent had much time to pay with it yet.

anyone have a gamma problem with this? i have a 1901FP and replaced it with the 1905FP (was going to use this for something else) but it seemed pretty bright, then i started Final Fantasy XI (any game even) and the gamma was like all high.. brightness.. whatever. i tried adjusting it but its either too bright or too dark/funky. any ideas?

While this site claims "Free shipping is also included", it is $13 to ship it. Add on $20 in tax (for me), and I emptied my cart. Thanks for the updates though OP.

 

[tonytone]

Please PM me the coupons codes and links!

 

[vijay333]

Edit: never mind....got the coupon to work

 

[glenn1]

If anyone is in the Richmond, VA area or reasonably near vicinity who wants in on this deal and can't for whatever reason (it expires, whatever), I'll listen to proposals to take mine at the current deal price. Basically I'll be making my costs back and you'll be getting be sure of what you're getting (it's a week or so old Rev A01 with no dead pixels), will save on tax, and don't have to wait an indefinite period for it to ship. And it'll save me the cost of shipping it back to Dell - I think after seeing comparing an LCD to my old CRT that I'm going to treat myself and splurge on a 2405FPW

 

[bobcpg]

Pulled the trigger. Couldn't wait after missing last time when it was -35% -$65 and free shipping. My total was 322.xx after tax and shipping.

Cant wait!

 

[Cattlegod]

shew, just picked up 2

 

[cpals]

Eh, I'll wait... looks like they have these deals twice a month... see if I can get any better deal.

 

[Ricochet]

Shipping + $33 tax kills it for me. Its a good deal but I can't justify spending that much to replace my 19" CRT.

 

[guito13]

I tried the code but it didnt work...can someone PM me the correct code?

EDIT: Got it. I bit. On a side note, anyone want to buy a 17" samsung with built in tv tuner and PIP and Remote?

 

[UKnowWhat]

Yep, I tried it last night with but then removed the item because tax & shipping doesn't justify to replace my 17" CRT. Long live the PRC.
