    Unofficial 2405FPW Thread (Now that its been announced)

    I remember a month or two ago there were deals on 2405FPW with which it would end up costing $850 - $950 dollars. I was looking to get one of these for someone and was wondering if there are still deals to be had or if I've missed the boat on the < $1000 offers. Right now it's going for $1199 on...

    Dell’s UltraSharp 2005FPW widescreen 20-inch LCD monitor.

    I'm coming to the conclusion that peoples eyes are just wired differently. To me (and I'm a detail oriented person), there is no appreciable blur on the 2005FPW. Yes, if I was to put it right next to a really good CRT (one running at 100hz) and look at moving images, I'd probably notice a...

    (1) 2404FPW or (2) 2005FPW

    From what I've seen the backlight issues are present in many LG/Philips S-IPS panels, it has to do with their manufacturing process I'm guessing. I own a 2005FPW and in my opinion this issue was blown way out of proportion. I'm very happy with the panel after owning it for over 2 months. I've...

    Dell’s UltraSharp 2005FPW widescreen 20-inch LCD monitor.

    No twinkling here..... I think that they are perhaps refering to the pixel inversion effect that is slightly (and I mean slightly) visible on some fast moving objects. I've noticed this effect (in some cases more pronounced forms of it) on virtually all fast (<= 16ms) LCDs. The article below...

    I'm very sad -> I recieved my Dell 2405FPW and...

    That cracked screen would look sort of pretty... if it wasn't so sad. Good luck getting the replacement quickly.

    Dell’s UltraSharp 2005FPW widescreen 20-inch LCD monitor.

    You do have a bleeding issue in the lower left, but whether you should replace it is up to you. If it is less apparent than what's visible in the photo and you have no dead pixels I'd seriously consider keeping it (especially because of the 0 dead pixel thing). Basically, if it bothers/annoys...

    Unofficial 2405FPW Thread (Now that its been announced)

    Unfortunately this logic may not be entirely valid. 1920x1200 is pushing what a single TDMS DVI port can output. Basically the video card needs to have a very clean DVI signal to handle this resolution well and it seems several cards (specifically nVidia ones) use substandard transmitters. For...

    How well do consoles/cable tv look on 2005fp 2045fp composite input?

    Actually I recently saw an XBOX hooked up via composite on a 2005FPW and I thought it looked pretty good given how crappy composite video is. I've heard a lot of people bashing the composite and S-video inputs on this monitor, but given the size of the monitor and the high resolution, I think it...

    Any ghosting in game with Dell 2405 TFT ?

    I think that the response time is also a function of the electronics used in conjunction with the panel. So if Dell says 12 - 16ms then that's probably what it is. The 8ms response time is probably a maximum theoretical time. For example, it's widely believed that the 2005FPW uses the same panel...

    Dell’s UltraSharp 2005FPW widescreen 20-inch LCD monitor.

    That is a pretty good screen "out of the box." I've photographed mine with a digital camera before and I know the camera seriously exagerrates the backlight in general. I'm sure to the naked eye that screen would look near perfect.

    Unofficial 2405FPW Thread (Now that its been announced)

    To me saying that you have to adjust for gamma on a screen using display drivers is a not a solution. There are way too many inconsistencies and problems in Windows when it comes to software gamma. The kind of issue you've run into with the catalysts has been happening on and off for years. I...

    Dell’s UltraSharp 2005FPW widescreen 20-inch LCD monitor.

    Well I bought mine for $484 shipped around Christmas... I'd admit that if I was buying now and I'd have to pay ~$600 the 2405 would probably be tempting.

    Dell’s UltraSharp 2005FPW widescreen 20-inch LCD monitor.

    The photos that you take with a digital camera will often exaggerate the glowing effect on the panel... I adjusted the photo a bit so as to give an accurate depiction of what I'd see if I were looking at it in person. It may have ended up a bit darker than I intended but it gives you a good idea...

    http://www.geocities.com/jabbari_1/IMG_0421b.jpg That image is a pretty accurate depiction of what I'd see in a dark room (its a dark picture so you may need to turn the lights off. Bottom line, aside from some leakage along the top there isn't anything else to complain about. The leakage...

    Dell’s UltraSharp 2005FPW widescreen 20-inch LCD monitor.

    You'll be able to use the monitor, but you may not be able to run it at its native resolution and you definitely wouldn't have DVI support. Basically, it'll work, and you should be able to check for the stuff you want to check for, but it's going to be staring you in the face each day urging you...
