My Dell 2005FPW arrived today!!!

[finbarqs]

damn, i was conflicted as to which monitor to purchase, i guess buying the dell eventually bought me over.... saving 450 bucks is just too tempting... (opposed from the Apple Cinema Display 20")

Did you get charged sales tax?

I helped a friend buy a 2005FPW today for $466 after discounts, w00t!

Anyone run this with an ATI radeon 9800 Pro, wondering what res and perfomance people are getting.

 

[Reckie]

What revision did you get?

I recived mine this morning and got a Rev A01, is that really the most recent revision?

I does not have any faulty pixels so it first i was very happy with it.
However as soon as i tried it some more i noticed the backlighting issue in the corners aint very nice at all. In fact its awful whenever the screen is displaying dark colors.

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).

Return it!

Dell does advanced replacement RMAs. Call Dell up, say that you aren't happy with the monitor you got and they'll send you a new one and schedule a UPS pickup for the other (not at the same time, so you've got some time to evaluate which is better). They will tell you on the phone that a single dead pixel is 'within spec' - that their quality assurance only guarantees 3 or less dead pixels - but they will always let you exchange it for any reason at all.

 

[finbarqs]

damn right... got one more week to take care of this! 1 more!!!

Anyone help me out? I'm thinking of having someone buy it over in the States to bring it back over if the box isn't too bulky.

 

[RossMAN]

Yep lemme see if I can find a measure tape.

Damn we can't find our measuring tape and don't own a ruler.

I'd suggest searching eBay, a few of the auctions have the actual CARDBOARD BOX measurements and weight.

 

[suklee]

Thanks RossMAN. Looks like a pretty big box - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...=3&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting

and should be approx. 20 lbs...

I'm not a gamer (unless you count Simpson's Hit & Run).

Should I sell the Ti4200 and drive to Fry's for a 9800 Pro?

Heck no. If you aren't a hardcore gamer the Ti4200 will do fine. And even if you are a gamer it works decently... (I had one until I got a 9700 Pro as a Christmas gift)

Oh, BTW RossMAN, about that monitor of yours... I HATE YOU :|

I've had a 2005FPW for over a month now myself...does that make you jealous? :evil:

Did you pay $486.48 or less? I didn't think so.

$484, bitch!! Bought January 3, 2005

25% AMEX coupon
$200 Dell Coupon
FREE SHIPPING

and i'm from CA, which is sales-tax hell!

Ok I'll give you that one, just this one time

Holy Shit... Someone Owned Ross! AT HIS OWN GAME
