Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW 20" Widescreen LCD


Recommended Posts

finally got mine! :D

its great, SLIGHT back light bleeding but really i see that on almost all LCDs. Doesn't bother me a bit, i think I have one dead pixel. Otherwise great deal for less than 400 bucks USD.

I could ask for another, but i think it could be much worse.

Check out some pictures:

I now have this monitor and i absolutely LOVE it! Since the 5G ipod doesnt come with a charger i had to leave my computer on to charge it, but since the display has an integrated powered USB hub I can charge my ipod right off the monitor without turning my computer on! NO dead pixels too :D

wow i didnt even think about that. good idea!

Nice, that is a pretty good idea. :)

I bought one of these around christmas for just shy of ?400 (uk) including shipping through a 3rd party supplier. Definitly one of my best PC related purchases last year.

The only problem I have is the rest of my hardware isn't that great at providing wide screen resolutions in games. I'm gonna fix that next month tho.

Apparently the 2007 and 2407 are due this week and for the same prices as the ones they are replacing. Sweeeet

Ordered a 2007WFP :shiftyninja:. I just hope it isn't nearly as defective as the 3 2005FPW's I went through before giving up on that particular monitor.

I bought one a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't be more happy. I origanally bought a Samsung 940B 19" and then the 2005FPW went on sale so I bought that while I was waiting for the Samsung to be delivered. Good thing I did too. When I got the Samsung it had severe backlight bleeding. When the 2005FPW came I brought the Samsung back.

My 2007WFP has two stuck pixels, one green and one red, and is very very blurry even over DVI. I have never seen an LCD this blurry over DVI, so I am thinking that mine is defective. It's too bright out to truly test the backlight. But by shutting my blinds and putting a blanket over myself and the monitor I can see some bleeding in both of the upper corners. Similar to the spotlight effect on the gateway and samsung 215tw. If this isn't a defective monitor then the blurriness is really disapointing.

for all those in the UK, nows the time to get the 2005fwp. I just got one for ?300, bargain!! They're running a 30%off on it.

Just a question guys, how many boxes should i expect??

i got 3 with mine a few weeks ago,

1. Monitor

2. Instruction Manual

3. cables

My 2005FPW is great except for the propensity for screen burn. Use a screensaver or better yet, set your display settings to turn off the monitor. The burn seems to fade over time though so hopefully it's not permanent.

I have also this morning noticed what looks like a large smudge down the left side of the screen about 2cm in from the bezel. On a medium grey background, it looks like a darker grey smudge running most of the height of the screen.

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
