I've just ordered the 2001FP and am wondering if the NVIDIA GeForce FX 52001 128MB card that came in my Dell Dimension 8300 will be adequate for it (no gaming it all -- business and DTP work)? I plan on using the DVI connector. Would appreciate advice and information on this combo; settings etc. Thanks.

The stock DVI cable that comes with 2001FP is pretty good.

Sadhu, what refresh rate do you run your 2005 at?

Anyone else having a problem with their 2005FPW backlights shining through VERY brightly at the corners? I have it happening at the top two corners, specifically the top right is really bad.
Thanks!

In the photo, how much of the light area on the left is supposed to be black? I'm not sure exactly what I'm seeing. Why don't you put up just a black screen so that I can tell how much leakage your getting. I think that way, more of us would know what we are seeing, and we would be able to judge just what we are seeing. When we see the image with the firl in the foreground, we don't really knwo what we are seeing because we don't know what's suppose to black or dark and what's not. Fore example, is the top right hand corner suppose to be very dark blue and all that highlight is leakage? If so, I can say for certain that I don't get on my FPw.
Can you just show us a solid dark background so we can respond more meaningfully?
Thanks.

So Sadhu your running dvi, and when you run a movie fullscreen with black bars you dont get brighter areas at any of your corners? I noticed this really bad when i was running down a hall in counterstrike source, it was kind of a dark hallway and up in my top and left corners it looked like there were lights shining down, but when i turned to look there were no lights, it was the glow from the backlights on the monitor. This is also EXTREMELY apparent during the loading screen of counterstrike source when your connecting to a server, or if you just have a really black image on your screen.
Please apprise so i know if I need to seek a refund or if its just a faulty monitor.
Thanks-
I run in the digital mode only. I don't run in analog at all. With regard to the problem with movies and light showing through ... I can't run a movie here to test. Even if I could, my movies run wide screen. I don't play games, and so there are no black bars down either side. But I also don't see why the black bars would prevent a different situation from just looking at a pure black desktop. I can tell you when I run the pure black desktop, there is no problem area where the light leaks through. It looks pretty much the same as the 2001FP ... pretty black in the corner with no real evidence of lights ... shinning down.
There are lot of users in this forum who have purchased or have FPw monitors on the way, who might be better equiped to duplicate what you are doing than I am. With any luck, some might chime in here soon.
For my part, I don't see a problem with the monitor. Black is black on my FPw. In fact, I'm pretty impressed with the level of black everywhere, even in the corners. For a monitor that I orginally thought could use a lot more saturation of color (and perhaps it's a tad less than the 2001FP ... which is great in this regard), all that said, the blacks on this FPw are pretty darn BLACK.
