Johnr Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 man, i think ya'll are just being too picky :D 586221759[/snapback] This isn't a toy though, it is an expensive piece of technology which you will be looking at more than any other piece of computer equipment. If you bought a new house, would you be bothered if a wall was painted white but there was a area of pink paint on the wall somewhere?

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted July 17, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 17, 2005 Just curious, because I am seriously thinking about jumping on that one coupon deal a page back or so that runs out by the 18th... I know it has probably been mentioned before in this thread, and I was also just at the dell site and could not find it as I am pretty drunk for the first time since new years and saw it nowhere in the tech specs, but what is the response time of the 2500FPW, and is it any good for gaming, mainly First Person Shooters. TIA, DL Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/246836-dell-ultrasharp-2005fpw-20-widescreen-lcd/page/75/#findComment-586226475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueNW Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 welp, finally have both monitors up and running. I ordered 2 monitors seperatley to be able to get the coupon prices. The first showed up right away, the second, I had to stay on Dell until they got the order right (it took about 10 days from order to recieve). I can't be happier though, both made in mexico, rev A02. Lotsa backlight on both that was adjusted down with various settings tweaks, zero dead pixels on both monitors. Movies, games and apps all look great running on an sapphire x800. Highly recommended. DirtyLarry: I believe it's a 12ms response time. No problems here running BF2 @ 1280x1024, everything on "medium" with 2xAA, looks great even in the middle of a battle. Can't comment on other games that I don't play.

If for some reason I feel it is not great for games, I can just use it for my Mac. My 17" Apple Cinema Display (1st generation, I paid way to much for it at the time) has slowly been starting to show its age, and this would be a great replacement. So either way I need this monitor. Thanks again for your reply. I will be posting back in a few days hopefully myself to report how it all went.

lanvo Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I don't think you can really adjust the backlight easy down... even if you can, then your primary best color settings will be modifed... well, the only adjustment that i have try and really help to bog down the backlight is to turn down the brightness in the Nvidia graphic settings.. but then your screen will become really really dark... and what was the LCD main feature again? its brightness, so turning it down is like ruining the meaning of it :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/246836-dell-ultrasharp-2005fpw-20-widescreen-lcd/page/75/#findComment-586228812 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I am fussing over nothing. I have no dead pixels just the very obvious backlight bleeding. I just want it to be right, as it did cost a lot of money.

The person I spoke to in Technical support stated that he has esclated the problem as it is effecting people in the UK an US. When the issue is resolved I will be informed and my monitor will be replaced even if it takes over 21 days to sort the backlight issue leaking.

RogueNW Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Andr3w: dont let me mislead you, I didnt "fix" anything, just made them usable. I turned the brightness down to zero on both monitors and did some color correction with info found in photoshop books. There may be more settings you can adjust depending on what vid card you run. I really didnt do anything I wouldnt have done even to crt's when you first get them running.
