mistical Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Well they shipped mine back in May through UPS. I want to say, but I am not sure of this, that it depends on the location you are at and where they are at.

LBraasch Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 guys can you tell me when you ordered the monitor , when Dell has shipped it , through what carrier and when if if you received it . thanks and it seems that dell sends all their monitor shipments through DHL which takes too @!$@#% long to deliver 586271376[/snapback] I am going to have to disagree w/ all the dhl bashing on this thread. I really don't understand why everyone is having such a hard time with them. IBM uses DHL, and i've shipped my laptop back and forth w/ dhl w/ no problems. 5 day total time from calling ibm, them overnighting a box, me having dhl pick it up the day after i get it, and then ibm working on it, and then shipping it back. Not bad by any means. Their overnight is actually... overnight. All these delays must be on shippers end. Great service from dhl all around in my experiances. No dented boxes, nothing.

MikeDK Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Where you ordering the graphics card from mate? 586270155[/snapback] I am living in Denmark and I found it on a place called www.edbpriser.dk Here there is a list on the cheapest places (in Denmark) to buy hardware. http://www.midtdata.dk/asp/index1024.asp?v...&mainfunc=link& Problem is only that the importer dont have the card before next week - there was no cards in Denmark for the moment so they had to order one from the origin. Problem with the products from HIS is that you never know when the orders come, and the Danish marked is very small, so we always come back in line compared with UK or Germany etc. Anyway - it should come within the next week :woot: Mike Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/246836-dell-ultrasharp-2005fpw-20-widescreen-lcd/page/78/#findComment-586272679 Share on other sites More sharing options...

factus8 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I have had three Revision A02 monitors, all from Mexico. The first one was a May 2005 with significant backlight bleeding. The second one was a July 2005 with some backlight bleeding but significantly less than the first one. The main problem with this one was a dead pixel in the center of the screen. The third one is a July 2005 A02, with no dead pixels and only barely noticeable backlight bleeding in the top left. It is clearly the best f the three. The backlight is only noticeable on a pure blank screen, and not during regular use. I will most likely keep this one. Based on my experience plus one of the other users on this board, it looks like July 2005 A02s have less backlight problems than the others. I wonder if future revisions or manufacturing dates will continue to see improvements in this issue. And rather than celebrate my success on getting a decent monitor, I'd like to say big "thumbs down" to Dell for making me go through many hours of hassle to get this one, which still admittedly isn't perfect but at least is within what I would consider a decent level of quality, given the price. If this one had more dead pixels or worse backlight bleeding, I would have given up. I have spent too much time on this.

hektic Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 My first time here.... I just bought the 20.1 2005FPW and i love it...But i have a question..I play COD and it runs great no ghosting of any kind. But i have realized when i get in a gun figh up close with will lag for a sec then it will be ok. This doesnt happen all the time but it is starting to get annoying. I went from a 17" CRT and this never happened. I think my fram rates have dropped since i bought the monitor. I have heard that turning your v-sync on will casue issues..but then i also heard it will help any ideas. Any ideas or fixes for my problem..And the v-sync question. Also they are having a sale on the monitor..I bought it for $440..with a free 3yr warranty, free shipping Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/246836-dell-ultrasharp-2005fpw-20-widescreen-lcd/page/78/#findComment-586286089 Share on other sites More sharing options...
