Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW 20" Widescreen LCD


Recommended Posts

I just wanted to know about the shipping, do they really leave it at your door step if no one answers.?

I ordered an lcd t.v and soon the 2005FP, and with the stories I read about dhl just leaving the boxes in front of your door is pretty scary.

The only problem I have with this monitor (besides it not being 1920x1200) is that it is a Dell. I have friends that have had insane amount of trouble from them, enough to get them to seriously look at Apple computers. Since they are outsourcing just about everything, Dell service and products have gone down the crapper, in my opinion.

I'll agree for the most parts. I'm a big apple ######. lol.

That being said, Dell does have a great return policy, and the 2005fpw has the same panel as the 20" Apple at a -much- lower price, so I made an exception this time....

hello, those who have gotten multiple replacements, does the 21 day return/exchange period renew itself? do you get an additional 21 days from the date of the second invoice and so on if you get more replacements, or do you only get 21 days total no matter how many monitors you exchange.

i ask because the first 3 reps i talked to, they said that you will receive a new replacement each time you return as long as it is within 21 days from the ship date. BUT last night a rep told me that the 21 day period does not renew itself and that after the initial 21 days you will only  be eligible for a "like-new" monitor.  :ermm: if that was true it would really suck, you keep getting defective monitors and then you end up getting second-hand ones when in reality you paid for a BRAND NEW one. can everyone help clear this up? thanks alot

sad but true, yes the 21 day return/exchange period does not renew itself and yes again, you will probably get a "like-new" monitor after 21 days. what you could do, just return the monitor, get your money back and a buy a new one again.

wow guys, i feel sorry for all of you....and i hate to put it in ur face, but damn am i happy nothing is wrong with my monitor...im tempted to save up for another one, btu the amount of hassles ive had REALLY discourages me from buying another one....good luck to the rest of you

i dont think you have to pay a restocking fee, as long as you return the faulty monitor within 5 days i think, not sure, you can return the monitor, just call customer service and ask for a money-back or demand, literally, for a new monitor.

thank you for your answers but i have one more question, will dell replace faulty like-new monitors under the total satisfaction policy that have been sent out as replacements/exchanges?

Do you mean to ask if they'll let you send back replacements for the same reason as the original faulty unit? If so, the answer is yes.

this is my first lcd, besides obviously seeing a dead or stuck pixel, is there a test or a screen that i should use to look for one?

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
