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.

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.

    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.

    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
