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. :)

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      Nah. They'll milk the current generation in terms of design - controllers, consoles, but no meaningful hardware improvements. This is one reason why people aren't buying Xbox hardware - it's stagnant.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS
