Dell 2001FP

[t3h.beast]

Damn they are sexy. I really really want one, but I really can't afford it. I only get about $200 AUD a week,

[Toxicfume Veteran]

this makes me cry even more. so affordable now but i have no money.  :cry:

Well, you don't have to worry much about affording it, prices won't go up a cent until the time you decide to buy one..but 'when' can be an issue ;)

i was thinking about picking one of these up, but my main cause of concern is the 1600x1200 native resolution... don't get me wrong, i prefer that, but being that i only have a 9800, i don't think i will be playing games in 1600x1200,

my question is what happens or how severly does it happen when you try to run a game in say 1024x768, or 1280x1024?

i don't want to spend all that money to have to play hl2 and cs source on my old crt (dual mon config :))

Well there is an option to zoom out if you set it to a lower res so there will be no interpolation. There will just be a border around the image.

so it wouldn't look "funny"? just have a border around it? i can deal with that..

(ps, a few digital pics of what a game looks like when you change the resolutions would be nice *nudge nudge :))

I have this monitor and run games/emulators in 640x480 and 1024x768 with a Radeon 9600 Pro. The image still looks sharp and amazing! This might depend on your video card though... not sure. It might look a bit more blury than a CRT.. but I haven't had any complaints :)

[mick0142]

thx! :)

i have a dell 17 inch...its pretty good...

[phc]

my 2001FP arrived today :) not a single broken pixel :D

i love it, it looks just sweet on my new desk :cool:

[OrangesOfCourse]

i know this might have been answered already... but what wallpaper is that Dazzla?

I've read that the 2001FP has a lot of problems when running in DVI mode, have you all experienced any problems?

no problems w/ DVI here

And where did you read this?

[ANova]

It has color problems when running in VGA mode, not DVI. DVI is native so there's nothing to convert signal wise.

[esco]

running this monitor in vga....is sacrilege

[JadeWolf324]

my bosses do :omg:

[pOKa]

playing America's Army on DVI, very purrty, so life like, no problems, no nothing, just perfect atm. :D :happy:

I was wondering if this monitor is exactly same as this dell one:

http://211.20.183.103/www/front/benqmain.a...ootId=undefined

Forget the way it looks, that's different, but I am not sure if the specifications are same for both the monitors, that one is by Benq...and I think Benq makes this Dell monitor..so it got me wondering.

That is an LG Phillips.

2000FP was a BenQ

2001FP is a LG Phillips.

I did it!! bought mine today! I couldn't pass up the price they currently have and the free shipping. Would have been better if California tax wasn't crazy...but all in all, I can't wait for this monitor to get here. going to be a long 3-5 days!!! :-) Thanks for the reviews and inputs that everybody has been posting on here.....I wouldn't have bought with out them. :rofl: :D

Ahh okay, I guess I got confused that way.

According to staind (and the FCC) the current crop of 2001FPs is still benq.

[Toxicfume Veteran]

Yeah, that's what I thought staind said too, but i wasn't fully sure. If the model I pasted indeed is the same model, I might think of gettingthat instead since they sell those here. :)

[Steven]

The 2001FP is a BenQ and a few pages back I Posted the FCC specifications which describe this.

link in sig :)
