andsmith Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I love my companies buy 2 get 1 free on LCD's from Dell. I just got 3 2005PFW's for the price of $354 each. That's shipping and taxes included. They are certainly sweet!

JonathanSmith68 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 finally got mine! :D its great, SLIGHT back light bleeding but really i see that on almost all LCDs. Doesn't bother me a bit, i think I have one dead pixel. Otherwise great deal for less than 400 bucks USD. I could ask for another, but i think it could be much worse.

b_pizzle Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I now have this monitor and i absolutely LOVE it! Since the 5G ipod doesnt come with a charger i had to leave my computer on to charge it, but since the display has an integrated powered USB hub I can charge my ipod right off the monitor without turning my computer on! NO dead pixels too :D wow i didnt even think about that. good idea!

)-(orus Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I bought one of these around christmas for just shy of ?400 (uk) including shipping through a 3rd party supplier. Definitly one of my best PC related purchases last year. The only problem I have is the rest of my hardware isn't that great at providing wide screen resolutions in games. I'm gonna fix that next month tho.

dropscience Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I am purchasing one of these at the end of the month. I was going to get the 20inch normal (2001fp) but, this review and a cnet one decided it for me Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/246836-dell-ultrasharp-2005fpw-20-widescreen-lcd/page/90/#findComment-587380476 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeeet http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum...&highlight=2407 Ordered a 2007WFP :shiftyninja:. I just hope it isn't nearly as defective as the 3 2005FPW's I went through before giving up on that particular monitor.

JayV Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I bought one a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't be more happy. I origanally bought a Samsung 940B 19" and then the 2005FPW went on sale so I bought that while I was waiting for the Samsung to be delivered. Good thing I did too. When I got the Samsung it had severe backlight bleeding. When the 2005FPW came I brought the Samsung back.

SonComet Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 My 2007WFP has two stuck pixels, one green and one red, and is very very blurry even over DVI. I have never seen an LCD this blurry over DVI, so I am thinking that mine is defective. It's too bright out to truly test the backlight. But by shutting my blinds and putting a blanket over myself and the monitor I can see some bleeding in both of the upper corners. Similar to the spotlight effect on the gateway and samsung 215tw. If this isn't a defective monitor then the blurriness is really disapointing.

Litespeed Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 My 2005FPW is great except for the propensity for screen burn. Use a screensaver or better yet, set your display settings to turn off the monitor. The burn seems to fade over time though so hopefully it's not permanent. I have also this morning noticed what looks like a large smudge down the left side of the screen about 2cm in from the bezel. On a medium grey background, it looks like a darker grey smudge running most of the height of the screen.
