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?

mmmmm i got mine today, its so beautiful

i got it at an absolute bargain, 235 uk pounds and why because it had no box

picture quality and colour definition is nothing short of excellent

colours look so much crisper than my old 19 inch crt.

ARGH I have to move my head to pan the screen :p

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!"

    • AMD 9070XT

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/

      One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.

      I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
