Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW 20" Widescreen LCD


Recommended Posts

YAY! My 8th monitor with backlight problems!!!

Dell is ****ing me off. And I love how they sent me another REFURB when I told them specifically to send a new one. Good thing to spend my money for a new monitor, waste hours everytime a new monitor comes (setting up another exchange, unpacking, setting up, packing again, contacting shipper, waiting for UPS), and get sent a used/defective monitor with more problems and nothing else in return (except for my waste of time and effort).

You gotta love Dell

Haha, this is true. :) You will be set to go for desktop usage with the monitor then with your video card, go for it!

Greets! I just registered to post this...

I've read ALL 1239 posts in this thread while waiting for my 2005FP to come and I was quite afraid of getting a lemon after reading everyone's problems with dead pixels and backlight leakage... But I am happy to assure potential owners that I got a flawless panel! :jump:

I got one that was made in March 2005 (Week 9) Revision A01 from Mexico. Zero dead pixels after 3 days (roughly 20 hours "on" time)... Backlight leakage is only a tiny splotch about 1" x 2" near the top right corner, hopefully rubbing it would help.

A review and pictures will come soon!

Thanks to everyone who posted here at Neowin about the 2005FP. Been very informative for my purchase! :D

..pye

i love this lcd. i purchased mine during the 10 days of deal.

looks awesome next to my logitech z-5500 :D

however, one quick question. i noticed that i sometimes have the display "blank out" for a second. might be my kvm switch. im using the vga connector and my card is a 9700 pro.

has anyone else experienced the same thing?

Got mine yesterday. Ordered it on the 26th and got it on the 29th. :) It's a revision A01, no dead pixels, and a tiny bit of bleeding in the corners. This thing is bright. BRIGHT! I'm looking over at the 19" CRT and I can't believe how big that thing is compared to this. So much more desktop space. It's funny when you get something like this it makes you want to clean up your entire desk area. It's spotless. :)

I got offer to buy this monitor from someone, he explained that I pay money to his account and he will send me a link to get this monitor for free. Does anyone know what this is? To me it sounds little weird.

Please don't be stupid, do you really think that you're going to get a free monitor without a catch?

Just got mine today could not be happier with it love this thing But with dell's new 24inch out now I think I might upgrade real soon.........and I think I might upgrade the stand to something more slick that way I can have the extra space under the monitor

SEE THIS ONE

damn thats a sweet lookin setup

but if you want the 2405fpw, return your 2005fpw. The 2405fpw can be bought for $860, if you bought the 2005fpw $500, then for $360 youre getting FOUR more inches, thats $90 per inch! Thats not including the way better screen/backlight quality, built in flash card reader,and component cables.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
