Damn you! This is a conspiracy I tell ya, just when I thought I knew I wasn't going to order a 2000FP.

Do you or anyone else have actual pics of your 2000FP?

Here's a pic I took for those desk threads.

RossMAN, look at the 20" LCD, it isn't as appealing as the Samsung rebadged 19" but then its got all those EXTRA features , less ghosting, 2 more inputs, PIP, er.... shall I go on?

Too bad i couldn't get myself to jump on this deal. As my CC bills had skyrocketed since I joined Hot deals once again .
MUST RESIST!!!!!!

Actually I think I prefer the styling of the 2000FP over the 1900FP.

It's all those extra damn inputs, PIP that's got me salivating.

But then I gotta through the hassle of getting an RMA tonight, packaging and shipping the LCD back, waiting for the funds to be credited back to my cc.

What if I order the 2000FP tonight, my order is # 48,450 and it won't ship for 3 weeks because of the AT/FW effect?

Less than 2 hours and counting.

There's a 17" Iiyama LCD that is supposed to be the first to break the 25ms mark... it was reviewed on tomshardware.

Rossman,
With the added desktop space, it would make it easier to keep track of more hot deal threads.

You know Dell has a warehouse right next door to your apartment so you'll probabily get it before anyone else You call packing up a monitor a hassle? you're kidding right? compared to going to a staple store and ordering a computer with COUPONS? You'll do it as the hours close in . I can't jump on it because my order passed 30 days .

By the way, RossMAN, in case you missed that cadonline review: 5 stars out of 5. And they use the word "stunning" twice.

Just FYI....

LOL! That was just mean! First tell him he's better off witht he 1900FP, then give him the "stunning" review!...

 

[RocketsFan]

I bought mine around 2am this morning and according to Dell's site, it's shipped... weee hawww... Radeon 9700 Pro meet 20" LCD.

 

[pprior]

My first Hot deal purchase - I've been close on others, but couldn't resist this one. I ordered mine and have a confirmation email from Dell -- the 2000FP shipped to my door for $759.24 plus I'll get my 2% from ebates = $744.05

The major problem I have now is that I have a huge mitsubishi 19" CRT monitor I'm gonna have to find a place to stash since my video card doesn't do dual inputs. And I'll probably have to spring for a new video card too. You know, saving money is damn expensive!

My wife gave this one a thumbs up, though! Love you, babe.

You have a wife yet you check with your mom for permission to buy things?

Here's a quick review taken from here.

2000fp

Dell 2000FP

The Dell Computer Corp. 2000FP offers a sharp display with a very low price tag ? $1,307.

The display's case, however, is on the bulky side with a fair bit of wasted space. The push-button controls, for example, sit in a border under the display that is 3 inches thick. And in the middle of that border is a large (1.5 inches wide) and distracting silver Dell logo.

The control labels on the front, like the port labels on the back, are very difficult to read. We did, however, like the easy access to ports in the back of the unit. In addition to the analog and DVI ports, there is an S-Video composite port.

Anyone using the Dell 2000FP would be well advised to use a DVI card. In our tests of the product running in analog mode, we found slight darkening along the right side of the screen as well as visible scan lines. Fonts were only clearly readable down to 7.5 points. When we tested the monitor using a DVI connection, however, fonts were clear down to 6.8 points and the screen noise vanished.

Dell's claim of viewing angles of 80 degrees in every direction is accurate, though we did notice that images darkened considerably as the angle approached the 80-degree mark.

Dell doesn't offer the biggest or best display in this batch of monitors, but it does deliver a solid product at a low price.

I was hoping to see a DEAL DEAD when I got home .... I just can't bring myself to hit the submit button .... Too fu@#!ng tempting. Knew I shouldn't have gotten engaged .... Wish I could find the bastard/B!@ch who made up that 3 month salary sh!t. Oh well my mom wouldn't have let me buy it either ...

Enjoy all who get in on the deal, I envy you

 

[RossMAN]

I just called Dell Home Customer Care and got an RMA, they're shipping free return labels to me via Airborne Express which should arrive in 3-4 days. Woohoo free shipping back to Dell.

Now to order the 2000FP.

Just keep the 1900FP. LCD prices have been going down recently and there are always new deals.
(I decided not to order 2000FP.)

RossMAN, I really think you should stick with the 1900fp. I mean, the 2000fp really isn't for everyone. I think you'd be more, ah, comfortable with the 1900fp.

I have passed on this deal after carefull consideration I belive there will be a better deal along the way , a 1900pf is not bad monitor at all and my NEC 1850x is doing it's job just fine for me: for now.

 

[RossMAN]

I feel like an ass but I just called Dell Home again and asked them to cancel my RMA and re-issue my $60 credit (maybe they'll credit me $60 twice? One can only hope).

It's just too much hassle for me to return this, receive another LCD, pray it doesn't have any dead pixels, but my biggest concern is the 1600x1200 resolution since 1280x1024 on a 19" LCD is PERFECT for my eyes.

I was at the last stage in check out on the 2000FP but closed the window ... I am so proud of myself!

Sticking with my 1900FP.

I turned my PMs off because I'm feeling anti-social.

Atta boy Ross

How much did you pay for the 1900FP? Being that it was a month ago it was probably pretty close to what you're now getting the 2000FP for.

Remember how much coaxing it took for you to get the ReplayTV, and I remember you left it in the box for a while cause you weren't sure you liked it. Then you opened it and loved it

Speaking of that, I need to sell my 3030 on ebay. I got a 4504 a couple of months ago. It has some great new features, but has a crappy remote and has had a bit of instability whereas the 3030 was rock-solid.
