Plus, a few people have complained of backlight issues and washed out text. I realize that like 95% of everybody is loving this monitor, but what if I'm one of the ones that do not? I don't even know if I'd like a widescreen desktop or not. Too much money to risk things.
Besides, I don't need one until the summer when I'm getting ready for college. How much do you think this widescreen will be costing by then?
Yes, well, I posted this earlier but still haven't heard any feedback:
I got a 1905fp, had a few dead pixels and RMA'd it for another, but both seem....well, compared to my NEC LCD1760NX they replaced....really....REALLY....washed out. Like, the gamma was too high or something.
Anyway, I'm wondering if this was a common problem. And, on the off chance it is, I'm curious to see if
this color profile fixes it. I used the ColorVision Spyder on my monitor to create that profile, and I'm wondering if it looks better on other types of Dell LCDs, if this is a 1905fp-specific thing, or if it was just my bad luck to get a couple crappy monitors.
I think the 'washed out text' is just a color profile problem and I think I've solved it. Wish I could get some feedback on this!
