You may find out in 6 months the price is a lot lower than 550, or in fact it may sell for that much without any discounts. The 2405FPW is coming, that may help drive down the prices of the other Dell Monitors that are also availible.

its pretty unlikely that dell will be able to turn a profit if the price goes any lower than 550. additionally, the 2405fpw is in a higher price bracket... its not like people are going to buy as much as the 2005fpw. if the 2405fpw and 2005fpw were the same size, then maybe you would see the 2005fpw go down in price.

Just received the package moments ago. The monitor looks amazing and one thing i noticed that it is bigger than it looks on the pictures i've seen, so that definately put a smile on my face. Now bad news for me, my pc has been down for about a month with motherboard problems, i should be getting it back from repairs hopefully either at the end of this week or beginning of next, untel then im stuck admiring this monitor and drooling all over it. :(

Mine looks better than the right, but has a semi gloss if you look at it a weird angle. Should I RMA?

I just ordered my 2005fpw from dell and it shipped out this morning and says in transit to local carrier. I was wondering if dell ships everything from Austin, TX or if they have warehouses in other locations. I live an hour away in San Antonio and that would mean it would hopefully arrive tommorow.

They have many other warehouses and will ship from the closest one that has the item.

I am more interested in using this for use in a business (unless my grandson gets hold of it!!)

How does the widescreen deal with word documents , is the whole of the document stretched across the screen or does it occupy only a part and is framed by black bars?

If it is stretched does this distort the letters?

I am wondering whether to purchase the 2001, 2005 or 2405? and any help would be appreciated.

I don't have one but I can answer your question. If you have the word doc maximized your will have the print layout the same as it usually is. There will just be more background on either side. What you could do is rotate in portrait mode and display more of the doc. Also you could have two docs side by side.

There is no stretching. It wont be different than on any other monitor you've used in this respect. No black bars, that sort of thing only happens if you're doing something like a 3D game at a non-native resolution and have the settings set to 1:1.

You can also rotate the monitor vertically and see TONS of text in word if you want. :)

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.

      You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
