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

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
