i received mine (within a week from ordering) about 5 months ago and the only issue i have is that i think i have 2 dead pixels. no backlight issues or anything else and i still think it was worth it despite the pixel problem. i don't assume there's any way to solve this is there?

i'm really interested in this monitor, but when looking at the dell site it says:

"To optimize this monitor's performance, your system must be able to support WSXGA+ resolution (1680 x 1050)."

my video card only has VGA. will buying this monitor not be worth it, or is it still a good monitor without a digital input!? I'm a graphic designer and im usually pretty picky when it comes to displays.

also, does digital allow for higher resolution, or is it just better quality?

thanks for reading

itll still run at 1600 x 1050, just make sure before you plug it in you change your refresh rate to below 75hz otherwise it wont detect it.

i cant really notice any diff between vga and dvi and ive tried both on this little mac mini

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE ANYMORE COUPONS AVAILABLE

Dell runs the coupon codes often. Just sometimes there are better deals than other times.

You just have to keep checking the many sites that post the coupon codes.

Look for a % off coupon and another stackable coupon. That should give you the best deal.

Dell 2005fpw review:

http://www.anandtech.com/displays/showdoc.aspx?i=2400

Excerpt: "The Dell 2005FPW won us over not only as an improvement on the Dell 2001FP, but also as a standard that all other monitors must adhere to for excellent ratings in our future reviews. 20" widescreen display, with split screen over four separate inputs on a 1680x1050 resolution, all for under $500!"

    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      At the moment I have my main PC and a test PC on my work desk. The test PC is also not inverted so I am not looking at the glass panel side, which is irritating.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By Captain_Eric · Posted

      I'm glad you posted this clarification of the cause of so-called Windows 11 update problems that too often appear in the article headlines.. In the future, it would be better to readers if you took your time, did the analysis before posting an article about Windows problems, which end up being a waste of time. Just saying.
    • 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.
