Well under the table there's my subwoofer, 5-port switch, and my pimped out Vintage Gaming Rig. All original mid-90's hardware that runs all DOS and Win95-based games I grew up on. I painted it glossy blue and metallic silver. It's connected to the right-hand 2001FP's analog input.

Cost me ?590 from eBay..

You paid for the monitor and then you did a review for Neowin....

I would be more than happy to write reviews if companies can throw free stuff my way! :DD

Nice review but brief. If the Dell monitors can go head to head against Samsung and beat them, I'll consider getting one of their monitors. The S&H fee is about $100 though. Sigh.

I thought the Dells would be el-cheapo monitors. Guess not. Thanks!

Dazla,

Just a quick question mate, I too have been so close to ordering the same monitor off 2 guys that regularly advertise on Ebay, the guy you got yours from and another guy that's based in Scotland that gets them imported.

Just wondered if you knew if either of these people can do a dead pixel test on them before they despatch them?

The worry I have is that you pay ?600 and wait for it to come from the USA and pray it doesn't have any, it's not like you can walk it back into say PC World and make up an excuse and get a refund and try to get another etc.

Do you think it's just a case of 'luck' if you get a good one or is there anyway to ensure you get a good one, especially as there coming from the US.

Cheers for your time and enjoy your new monitor:))

We just bought the 2001FP from Dell. Got it within a day via Airborne Express...There is 2 dead pixels it seems we've noticed so far. One shows up on the XP bootup screen in the black area, and the other you can see in a certain shade of white.

Not sure what were gonna do yet, its a excellent looking monitor, very happy with it otherwise.

We have it hooked up to a 2.ghz P4, Geforce 4 MX 400 atm..so only Analog connector. On my main comp I got a Radeon 9700, so im hoping to try it out with the DVI connector soon.

:devil:

I have this display. It is a nice screen, but gets very grainy at moderate distances which I find annoying. You really have to sit far back for it to be perfect. Also, the backlighting is commonly uneven on this display (On black screen the corner appears brighter than the rest)

PS Dell will replace the monitor free of charge if you find any dead pixels, despite their stated policy of 7 dead pixels.

Got mine for $750 off dell.com

I also have the 2001FP, recently purchased, but I've noticed that there is some horizontal banding and color gradiation going on. For example, With the start menu expanded, it should look solid gray. In my case there is gray, but every other line has a slightly lighter shade. It's different with any color. It bothers me enough as a graphic artist that I can't work with the output. I know all my video settings are correct and I've tried it with multiple computers, dvi and vga. I've gone through about three of the same lcd's from dell, all with the same results. My 2000FP looks absolutely spectacular, and I was hoping to upgrade to the smaller footprint model, as the pixel response is faster, etc.

Has anyone noticed these same problems? I've seen on the dell threads that there are alot of people with the same problems...

I got two of these as well :D

Both over ebay from a UK seller called ericbunny. First one was great no dead pixels, the second one I bought seems to have 3 dead pixels only two of them normally showup.

Has anyone experienced Dell UKs support offering for ebay customers?

Thanks :)

Damn PR., that's nice! Why do you have two keyboards and mice? Two computers or something?

Yer one games machine, one web/email general shuttle and a mess about PC. :)

I tried to find a keyboard and mouse switcher or at least a keyboard switched but couldn't find anything. :(

We have TONS of those where I work. Actually pretty cool having control of 8 comps on one keyboard/mouse/monitor. :D

We have 8 port, 4 port, and 2 port boxes.. all from Belkin. They are really simple to use and setup, and I find myself hitting "Scroll Lock - Scroll Lock - Up Arrow" all the time at home now. (Key combo to switch computers)

Here is what you -could- get. A bit pricey imo, not to mention you'll have to pickup 2 sets of cords.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
