Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW 20" Widescreen LCD


Recommended Posts

I think the highest I've ever seen is 700:1, and those are rather rare. 600:1 is pretty good for a monitor right now.

i think the only problem i have with this monitor is that it has a 600:1 contrast ratio. i expected higher.  Also if anyone wants a chance to get this monter for 20% off, PM me!

complainign about its contrast ratio?

guys, this monitor is BRIGHT....trust me, the whites are white, the blacks are black....what more can you expect? jesus

1680x1050 with a 12ms response time....12!!!! and its 20.1 inches!!!!widescreen!!! lol....sorry guys, im just really excited/cant wait for my monitor to come in....but come on guys, this monitor kicks ass :)

ok, well you have to remember, there are MILLIONS of pixels on this monitor, so its goign to be pretty hard to get one, though it definatly is possible....but honestly, there are a few power sellers on ebay that were sellign the 2001, except as far as i know they were only located in the UK, so if you're american, you're going to have to pay quite a bit for shipping probably

my opinion? if you're going to buy this monitor, go register for the dell Egame prizes, and play it every day until you get a 25% coupon....then take off a lot of the price, and just buy it from dell

i honestly think it will be more of a hassle going through someone else than dell themselves, but hey, thats just my idea

*crosses fingers for no dead pixels* im about to go to school, hopefully no one tries to bring it to my door while im gone, otherwise im going to have to wait another damn day for this monitor...hopefullyi t comes RIGHT when im coming back from school :)

i just got mine. 100% perfect. no dead or stuck pixels. no backlight problems. coming from the 1901fp the text is definitely smaller but not something i wont get used to. i love the extra desktop space compared to my old 1280x1024.

Mine too. :D

Too bad I noticed my Chaintech GT-60 (GF4-ti4600)'s manual says it can only do DVI at 1280x1024... Maybe I'll need to get a 6800 sooner than I thought. At least I can test out the display on my laptop to make sure it works fine.

mine's out for delivery :D :D :D

To clarify there are NOT MILLIONS of pixels on this screen because the overall pixel quantity is less than 2 Million. In fact there is less than 1.8 Million Pixels. (1.764 Million Exactly).

Even the 2001FP doesn't break 2 Million Pixels. I thas 1.92 Million (16x12)

I know this pic the neowin logo looks nice and smooth but thats because its a screenie. In reality in your widescreen display does it look crisp and smooth? Because I noticed for instance on the Dell 8600 Laptop that has a widescreen lcd that the neowin logo and pretty much any other graphics don't displey as crisp and smooth and this should. In fact the neowin logo looks like is has jagged corners. I'm thinking of maybe getting that same lcd but I don't want it if its going to make pics look bad from what they should look like.

Are you using 120 DPI fonts with Windows? I believe most Dell laptops with high res screens come this way by default. Theres a known "bug/feature" in IE that makes like all images look like **** (all pixelated). Do some googling around... theres a registry setting that makes it all look great ;-).

Edit: Didn't want to double post, so... This monitor is super sexxy ;-). In fact, I'm going to sell my Mac (specs in sig) to build a PC and get this screen. I might put it on NeoBay... PM offers if I don't post it there :-P.

this thing is BEAUTIFUL! oh man, i feel like i'm staring into the sun. this is excellent, i love it.

thanks for the suggestions & coupon codes everyone :D

    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.
