MikeBuzz Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I ordered tuesday morning. Dell are keeping the 2005fpw's secret it seems. The phone people will tell you they don't have it, the website doesn't have it showing either. I had to dig, and ask them to check whether they had them for mine. The woman on the phone said it was one of the first from the introductory stock. And i'll take loads of pics. 585027690[/snapback] cheers mate, so what screen did you have before?

clx Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Well I called Dell UK direct, and had to really ask for it to find out that it was in stock. They want to get rid of their 2001fp's at the moment you see. Got an introductory offer of 566 quid including shipping :D And even better, its arriving tomorrow morning :D And to those who don't know yet, it doesn't ACTUALLY show up on the website. You HAVE to call and ask for the specific model, and tell them to go check when they say its not on their computer systems. D2Global: Oh my christ, do you have liquid gold pumping out of your pockets or something? That system is insane! 585027536[/snapback] how can they sell it for 566? when the 2001 cost more than that??? or have i made a fool of myself and got it wrong?

acliff Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 cheers mate,so what screen did you have before? 585027741[/snapback] I had, and will still have a hercules 920pro 17inch prophetview, and its served me beautifully for a year. Now once this new monitor comes, I have to decide whether to sell it, or dual monitor. Considering I probably need to sell it to fund the dell one, the dual monitoring has to really be good. Although I feel the clash in design will annoy me too much.

That system is insane! 585027536[/snapback] LoL, nope not liquid gold, but i can tell ya, I have been developing using multimonitor systems for about 5 years now. I started with 2 CRT 17"'s and since have had, 4 CRT Sony 17" Trinitron's, then 4 15" LCD's from Viewsonic, then 5 17" Samsung 172N's and now 5 of these Dell 2005FPW's.. these dell's blow away the picture and colors on all of the previous monitor sets i have had. I do primary application development but sometimes get a chance to play a game. As far as development, I cant beleive how much additional space these monitors have added as far as desktop and work area. They get my vote! Btw, throughout my total experience with multi-monitor systems I can say my work production increased everytime I added an additional monitor, all the way up until i added the 5th.. I now sometimes catch myself not utilizing all the space, so i know 5 is the peek.. The time savings is huge, no swapping windows, always have multiple programs open at the same time, copy paste, etc.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Oh, and as far as gaming, I loaded up star wars galaxies after installing the DELL's.. You can setup galaxies to run in widescreen resolution, and WOW is all i can say about the picture, blew away the Samsung 17" 172n's.. Oh and i only play games on the single center monitor, cant expand em to all the monitors with the current video card setup i use. reference link of system http://www.realtimesoft.com/multimon/galle...owse.asp?ID=563 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/246836-dell-ultrasharp-2005fpw-20-widescreen-lcd/page/8/#findComment-585032911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
