OrangeChicken Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 i think the only problem i have with this monitor is that it has a 600:1 contrast ratio. i expected higher. Also if anyone wants a chance to get this monter for 20% off, PM me!

Cyrana Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I think the highest I've ever seen is 700:1, and those are rather rare. 600:1 is pretty good for a monitor right now. i think the only problem i have with this monitor is that it has a 600:1 contrast ratio. i expected higher.

Meshuggah Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 ok, well you have to remember, there are MILLIONS of pixels on this monitor, so its goign to be pretty hard to get one, though it definatly is possible....but honestly, there are a few power sellers on ebay that were sellign the 2001, except as far as i know they were only located in the UK, so if you're american, you're going to have to pay quite a bit for shipping probably my opinion? if you're going to buy this monitor, go register for the dell Egame prizes, and play it every day until you get a 25% coupon....then take off a lot of the price, and just buy it from dell i honestly think it will be more of a hassle going through someone else than dell themselves, but hey, thats just my idea | *crosses fingers for no dead pixels* im about to go to school, hopefully no one tries to bring it to my door while im gone, otherwise im going to have to wait another damn day for this monitor...hopefullyi t comes RIGHT when im coming back from school :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/246836-dell-ultrasharp-2005fpw-20-widescreen-lcd/page/6/#findComment-585015105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry k. Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 i just got mine. 100% perfect. no dead or stuck pixels. no backlight problems. coming from the 1901fp the text is definitely smaller but not something i wont get used to. i love the extra desktop space compared to my old 1280x1024.

Cyrana Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Mine too. :D Too bad I noticed my Chaintech GT-60 (GF4-ti4600)'s manual says it can only do DVI at 1280x1024... Maybe I'll need to get a 6800 sooner than I thought. At least I can test out the display on my laptop to make sure it works fine. mine's out for delivery :D :D :D 585016130[/snapback] Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/246836-dell-ultrasharp-2005fpw-20-widescreen-lcd/page/6/#findComment-585016154 Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact there is less than 1.8 Million Pixels. (1.764 Million Exactly). Even the 2001FP doesn't break 2 Million Pixels.

unimatrixzer0 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 http://img111.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img111ℑ=desktop34.jpg I know this pic the neowin logo looks nice and smooth but thats because its a screenie. In reality in your widescreen display does it look crisp and smooth? Because I noticed for instance on the Dell 8600 Laptop that has a widescreen lcd that the neowin logo and pretty much any other graphics don't displey as crisp and smooth and this should. In fact the neowin logo looks like is has jagged corners. I'm thinking of maybe getting that same lcd but I don't want it if its going to make pics look bad from what they should look like.

I believe most Dell laptops with high res screens come this way by default. Theres a known "bug/feature" in IE that makes like all images look like **** (all pixelated). Do some googling around... theres a registry setting that makes it all look great ;-). Edit: Didn't want to double post, so... This monitor is super sexxy ;-). In fact, I'm going to sell my Mac (specs in sig) to build a PC and get this screen. I might put it on NeoBay... PM offers if I don't post it there :-P.
