My Dell 2005FPW arrived today!!!

[rh71]

I wish I could spend half a grand on a whim.

 

[NutBucket]

A whim? I've only had my 17" since 11th grade....that was 7 years ago! I think I can justify getting an upgrade.

Rossman has syringered us? omgwtf we shall now say "2005FPW" everytime he posts.

So has Ross set up the monitor yet or is he still trying to find a better video card?

He has an older card and Nik was trying to convince him to upgrade it. I would if I were him but then again he doesn't game on it so I guess he doesn't have to.

Ross I just got mine as well and thru the DVI mine is extremely bright. I am not sure what the issue is but if you are able to fix it please let me know.

(puts on flame suit)

This is going to sound retarded but maybe I should use analog instead of DVI?

RossMAN, as I was sitting here waiting for pics, I was somehow subconciously lulled into looking for a hot deal for pizza tonight (undoubtedly due to the fact that I was waiting for the Grand Nagus to finish his story).

Anyway, Papa John's had 2 large 2 topping pizzas for $10.99. It's going to be here in ~30 minutes, and I want to look at before and after pics while I eat ham and pineapple pizza.

:beer:

NO

use the NEC Brightness Controller, that does the trick for me!

 

[jpeyton]

If you're using a good driver set, you should be able to adjust Gamma and contrast through your Advanced Display Properties. That's what I did; keeps the brightness low for browsing and work, but resets to default for gaming.

Awesome, I hopped on the same deal, but I got the 2001FP instead. Didn't want to deal with the funky resolution.

It is a very nice monitor.

Someone in HD bought one IIRC.

Sweet deal on the 2005FPW, I just bought a 19' Dell LCD for under $200 and I'm satisfied with it (but a bit jealous of that extra inch).

Lots of people tend to be jealous of my extra inch... er... on the 2005 I just bought

It really is a sweet monitor. Having a 1680x1050 LCD paired with a 1800x1440 21" CRT is awesome, for once I have more desktop space than I know what to do with
