Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW 20" Widescreen LCD


Recommended Posts

ok fair enough the explanation you gave me and thanks.now another issue.I 'm wondering about the graphic card to use with thhis monitor. i think it should be very powerful in order to achieve a descent frames per second rate at 1680 x 1050 analysis when playing games. I 'm thinking of geforce 6600gt. I' m open to recommendations or any advice i could get.

The 2005FPW is almost exactly the same height as the 1704FPT; that's why I bought the latter as a second monitor. Incidentally the latter is also almost exactly the same size as my 19" CRT that I replaced with the former. So if you're considering an upgrade, the 2005FPW is about the same height and substantially wider than a 19" CRT. Both have a bit of backlight bleeding; it's not a big deal though. And fortunately neither have any bad pixels.

Total cost?

2005FPW: 560 USD (list price, 749)

1704FPT: 210 USD (list price, 329)

DS100 (stand) 170 USD (list price, 249)

Total: 940 (1327)

Always keep your eyes peeled for deals and coupons.

The screen does not have built in speakers, so no mater which cable you buy you wont get any sound.

The 2 RCA inputs on the PS2 next to the Composit should be plugged into some other speaker system you have I plug mine into my surround sound but most normal PC 2.1Speakers will have inputs for left and right sound (Indicated by the Red and White - Right and Left inputs). The Dell screen is just a Monitor not a TV replacement.

Thats not true, dell has an attachment that will attach to the front of the monitor that will give you sound.

I am fully aware of the sound bars existence, which is what?.

2.1 surround sound (It is basically NORMAL PC speakers! they just Hook onto the base) and an Extra Attachment i.e. does not come with the screen.

I did not bother mentioning them because it is unknown to me weather they use the RCA connection from the desktop computer or a 3.5 mm Jack (like speakers built into my older LCD) The Jack option would mean that the PS2 would not work with the sound bar making it worth not mentioning.

Ok? Oddcrap?

Sound Bar...

I told you guys to consult the user guide!! :laugh:

NOTE: Sound Bar Power Connector - 12V DC output is for optional Dell? Sound Bar only. .

DO NOT USE WITH ANY DEVICE OTHER THAN DELL SOUND BAR.

1. Working from the rear of the monitor, attach Sound Bar by aligning the two slots with the two tabs along the bottom rear of the monitor.

2. Slide the Sound Bar to the left until it snaps into the place.

3. Connect the sound Bar with the DC power connector4. Insert the lime green mini stereo plug from the rear of the Sound Bar into the Computer's audio output jack.b>

A decent deal, but who wants to run a 2005 off of a x300? And a CD-Rom drive? They still make those? 40Gb HD? That's a crap desktop, I'd sell it on ebay and keep the screen.

Yeah how heinous of people to try and help people who apparently don't know what they're doing by giving them ideas, and correcting misinformation.

Mine just arrived :woot:

I've had a look and the stand is HUGE at full height, guess that solves the problem of no height adjust feature on my current TFT (No more neck problems :D)

Might set it up right now, bugger the dust :happy:

Assembled in UK May 2005 Rev A01

Ok lets get technical shall we.

I said "The screen does not have a built in speaker"

Does the screen have a built in speaker: No.

Every gadget has attackable speakers including the game boy advance the PSP the iPod my mobile phone my laptop, you can buy speakers for anything and everything, I said it don't have any built in and I was correct. - that's if you want to get technical.

WinMacLin:

I have the Logitech Z-2200 2.1 speakers. There's the left and right sound inputs on it. Do you know if there's some switch or little thing to put on there and switch from PC sound to PS2 sound? Like a VGA BOX but for sound.

thanks.

I don't know of any you should just look in your local store I use surround sound from Acoustic Solutions and it has enough ports to stick in quite a few devices so I have never used any adapter sorry.

    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
