Finally buckled and got one...for $550 thanks to a friend who bought a bunch during the crazy Dell deals :)

Got a couple of dead pixels that I really don't bother me but may still try to get a replacement. Other than that though, I fing love the thing. Games are handled very well in my opinion. Games tested: UT 2k4, United Offensive and Far Cry. Did not notice any difference between how the games played on my Viewsonic and how they play now on the Dell. Not sure what the hell others are talking about.

Even though I really couldn't afford to spend the money at this time (should have waited till bonus time :) ) I still don't regret it at all! I recommend this LCD to everyone, including gamers.

Congratulations! 2001FP owner here myself (no dead pixels from Dell) and if I had it my way I'd have three :)

oh man :( im depressedd.... like 5 months ago this monitor on dell.ca was $1500 CND, a week ago it was $1099 and now it is $989 CND which i think is amazing. I have a visa with $2000 on it im trying to pay off and a dell laptop on dell financing im also trying to pay off. I really want 2 of these lcds as my current 19" samsung CRT is starting to die on me, but i dont have any cash! :( and my job at the moment is giving me enough to pay off bills +put money into my $4000 debt with a pay off timetable of about 5-6 months... what do guys think? i dont want to do another finance with dell as i have the laptop to still pay off, my current monitor will last at least another 6 months and i dont have cash to put into this...

i can put the monitor on my credit card... or wait 5 months and put it on my cc then, and maybe itll be cheaper... i dont have a problem waiting as i might just get a new comp in 7-8 months and a whole new setup with a new lcd would be awesome.... but my luck is i always wait til something gets cheaper and cheapr and then when i try to buy it is unavailable/discontinued!

what do u guys think!? ive been going crazy over my descision all day! :(

Don't go further in debt man. Just wait it out until you can reasonably afford it, it will drop in price the longer you wait I bet as well--or be replaced by a better model.

My Dell rep just told me the 2005WFP was replacing the 2001FP, and the lead time on it was much shorter than the 2001FP. He also gave me the same $599 price on both. I guess you might want to hurry if you're wanting a 2001FP and this is true.

Replacing it because they want to compete with Apple's 20" but for way less money.

It seems odd that Dell would want to do this. The two monitors are not exactly catered to the same market. The 2001FP has 1600?1200 native resolution, which makes it a standard 4:3 ratio monitor. It has 16 ms response time. While the 2005FPW has a 1680?1050 native resolution and 12 ms response time, it is not a 4:3 ratio monitor, and is in fact a 16:10 (or for the picky math people, 8:5, but that isn't used much) ratio. This is a wonderful thing for widescreen DVD movies and for doing stuff in Windows, but I don't know many games that support that resolution, so I think it would be outrageous if they replace the 2001FP with the 2005FPW. The market is big enough for both of them to succeed.

Just to confirm guys, the new Dell 2005WFP Widescreen Monitor IS NOT replacing the 2001FP model.

"UPDATE: Dell has contacted FirstAdopter.com and said 2001FP is NOT being replaced. Dell sees the 2005FPW as a new addition to their product line as their "wide-screen" LCD monitor. The email is as follows -

The 2005FPW does NOT replace the 2001FP. It is a new addition to our product line. It is Dell?s first widescreen, but we do feel customers will still want a 20? standard 4:3 aspect-ratio monitor, so we are not discontinuing the 2001FP, nor will there be a ?firesale.?

Heh, could have fooled me--this is the 3rd time (I think) they've dropped the price in like a month and a half.

    • 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.
