Dell new 20" wide LCD 2005FPW. Has anyone seen this beast?

[imported_Fr0zen]

Obvious chilidish remark, LCD's are the future crt's will eventually be gone why ? lcd's offer gorgous picture and clartity almost comparible to crt and they take up far less space and power and come in widescreen and are not that expensive compared to top quality crt's so its not ripping your self off but personal prefernece.

why get a lcd when they cost more and arent as good as crts its like ripping yourself off

welcome to 3 years ago

low ms response time of modern LCDs are more than a match for games

WOW I JUST GOT my 2005fpw this afternooon this thing is badass I need to adjust it, What are the most common ways to adjust dell monitors the cd is just a instruction on cd manual. I have a 9800 pro its running its native 1980x1050 with windows clear type.

 

[AtomSmasher]

I think you mean 1680 x 1050. I plugged mine in (DVI) & no adjustments were necessary other than setting my display properties to 1680 x 1050. Is there something about the displayed image that doesn't look correct to you ? If running analog in then do a google for Nokia's monitor test software. You can find it a bunch of places for free download, or monitors direct toolkit. Either will put up display patterns so you can adjust the geometry, etc.

Im running DVI 1680x1050 on a 9800 pro 128mb with newest drivers.. I didnt change anything yet except brightness it looks kind of bright and my eyes get tired from browing windows but its probley a matter of getting used to coming from a 17" samsung crt.

 

[oogabooga]

been wondering what the 2005fp was, now i know..
I think i would still prefer a 2001, but who knows, if the price is right, $$$$

 

[imported_Fr0zen]

Now that I got my 2005fpw I would never get the 2001fp this thing is beyond nice for the money nothing can touch it. The clarity of windows Media HD clips was amazing at 1024dpi....

 

[RubberDuckie]

Got mine and it is amazing. I have a widescreen TV and would never go back to a 'square' TV. Therefore I wanted to do the same with the computer.
No regrets. This thing is amazing ... looks nice... small foot print... Cant wait to get into the gamin.

Dell is actually shipping out monitors?

Edit: How long did you have to wait?

 

[imported_Fr0zen]

Yah its so bright somtimes the colors may look a little washed out compared to my old crt but its very minimal its definetly a huge step over my samsung 900IFT and dell 19" Triniton CRT... I cant compliment this monitor more.

RubberDuckie: What settings are you using all stock. ? Also what video card and drivers. ?

 

[Hubris]

I ordered one today, and my estimated ship date is the 22nd.

I'm going to run a dual monitor setup with a 2001FP and 2005FPW. Can't wait.

 

[imported_Fr0zen]

You will love it mine has 0 dead pixels and it has no signs of developing any either. I ran it very hard within the first couple minutes of power on.

Does anyone know or can tell me if the 2005 has the same "zoom in/out on signal" feature that was talked about in the anandtech review of the 2001. This would be really handy to know. Thanks for any input.

Not sure what you mean, You can make the pip bigger or smaller the display input u can change from 1-4 analog,dvi,s-vid,composite

If thats what you mean.

Can 2005FPW be used as HDTV if I order HDTV from comcast with HDTV tuner?

 

[ioaz]

In the anandtech review of the 2001FP herethey say,

On a cheerier note, this LCD let's you ?zoom? in or out on a signal. Want to run a 1024x768 game without any pixel interpolation? Simply zoom out on the signal and you will have the 1024x768 box in the middle of the screen. Counter Strike addicts rejoice!

I was just curious if you could do this in the 2005FP as well. Thanks

 

[imported_Fr0zen]

A sad italian guy...!

Hi Guys... my name is Andrea and i live in Rome.
I'm very interested in this DELL - UltraSharp 2005FPW both for its features and for its price: $ 719 (alias 559 Euro) is a very good price!
BUT...
But this LCD will be presented in Europe, so in Italy, about 22 November with the price of 869 Euro (alias $ 1.130)!!! I'm very angry for this!
SO...
So i wish to know if someone can give me some ideas, suggestions or advices to solve this problem! Because i wish to buy 3 or 4 of this LCD!

Thank you for any info or help!

Regards,

Andrea

Andrea try bringing this difference to the attention of your rep. You may get a concession but with VAT etc and different price points in Europe you are unlikely to ge the same price.

Here is my DSL reports post

http://www.dslreports.com/foru...ark,11818860~mode=flat

The pictures dont do the justice at all but you get the picture. This monitor is gorgous. When I go into the other room where a dell 19" crt sits it looks like the monitor is dusty or broken cause its not crisp at all looks blurry.
