Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW 20" Widescreen LCD


Recommended Posts

Funny my Rev01 from Uk doesn't have this menu at all. The monitor is adjusting this automatically. Works very good.

Programs like PowerDVD you also have an option like "keep movie aspects" where the movie is in the original format.

Great monitor...... :woot:

what the, my stuipd revision AO2 has the "Auto Adjust" menu and button black out...

Ooh, my TFT seems to have got some light scratches somehow

?

in that shape. I don't know if they were there when I got the monitor, but I can't have caused them because all I have touched on the screen is the large amount of dust with light pressure from the corner of my cloth.

So glad another one is turning up on Monday, hopefully 3rd time lucky!

(PS - How hard would it be to repair such scratches for Dell if they wanted to refurb...They are very light and you could not notice them in normal use)

Grr :laugh::

does dell do price adjustments with coupon codes?  the monitor is about 100 less than when i ordered it with new coupon codes, i have only had it about 2 weeks.  How could i do this.

i tried this too. called them, and they say they do not offer price protection. so I'm basically SOL.

i dont think it's been listed yet so i'll report it.

Hey, i want to return my Dell 2005FPW for a full refund becuase of "Backlight Issue" and its only been 12 days since the date i ordered it... do you think they would give me a full refund without charging a restocking fee?

Yes, just ask for a full refund rather than replacement

How do I tell if I have a stuck pixel or dead pixel?

My pixel is grey I think and I can see it in almost any color I think, even when i'm gaming if I look closely enough I can see it.

It's most noticable on whites and some darks though.

Other then me moving my finger on it which I alerady did, are there any other fixes?

HELLO MIKE.

Please can you tell me the revision and month of your tft.

I am waiting the third tft of replacement.  the two first monitor was A01 July 2005 UK. and they had backlight in all the corners and the second had 6 pixel bad.

Have you any problem with the tft?

Hey

I have the A01 from UK made in May 05.

I wanted to switch 3 times, but every time they came with another A01, so I didn't pack it out (I asked for a A02). But I heard that UK is not shipping the A02 - Soooo....

But I am getting used to the backlight in the left lower corner, I it is actually not that much.

But I love this monitor - It is great. Only problem is now that my graphic card ATI 9800XT just burned out, so I have no picture :cry:

Just ordered the HIS X850XT card - Love it :D :woot: :rofl:

That monitor is over ?500 which is around $900.

Anyone want to order me on and ship it to the UK? I'd pay shipping and a "finders" fee lol:pp

Where you ordering the graphics card from mate?

its expired, i think 3000 users has already use it... oh well, you can still get it for $426 dollar with the $60 stackable coupons :D now i only got rip of $10

anyways, since the deal has finally ended, now i felt much much better becuase i brought it like $50 bucks more and it was within two weeks before the $389!!! hahahaha :D Reason why is i met a lot of people who got a 2005FPW and everytime i said i got mine for $430 bucks, they said they got it for $360!!! i meant, wtf!!!

so yah better buy it at my price :-)

    • 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.
