Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW 20" Widescreen LCD


Recommended Posts

I think the highest I've ever seen is 700:1, and those are rather rare. 600:1 is pretty good for a monitor right now.

i think the only problem i have with this monitor is that it has a 600:1 contrast ratio. i expected higher.  Also if anyone wants a chance to get this monter for 20% off, PM me!

complainign about its contrast ratio?

guys, this monitor is BRIGHT....trust me, the whites are white, the blacks are black....what more can you expect? jesus

1680x1050 with a 12ms response time....12!!!! and its 20.1 inches!!!!widescreen!!! lol....sorry guys, im just really excited/cant wait for my monitor to come in....but come on guys, this monitor kicks ass :)

ok, well you have to remember, there are MILLIONS of pixels on this monitor, so its goign to be pretty hard to get one, though it definatly is possible....but honestly, there are a few power sellers on ebay that were sellign the 2001, except as far as i know they were only located in the UK, so if you're american, you're going to have to pay quite a bit for shipping probably

my opinion? if you're going to buy this monitor, go register for the dell Egame prizes, and play it every day until you get a 25% coupon....then take off a lot of the price, and just buy it from dell

i honestly think it will be more of a hassle going through someone else than dell themselves, but hey, thats just my idea

*crosses fingers for no dead pixels* im about to go to school, hopefully no one tries to bring it to my door while im gone, otherwise im going to have to wait another damn day for this monitor...hopefullyi t comes RIGHT when im coming back from school :)

i just got mine. 100% perfect. no dead or stuck pixels. no backlight problems. coming from the 1901fp the text is definitely smaller but not something i wont get used to. i love the extra desktop space compared to my old 1280x1024.

Mine too. :D

Too bad I noticed my Chaintech GT-60 (GF4-ti4600)'s manual says it can only do DVI at 1280x1024... Maybe I'll need to get a 6800 sooner than I thought. At least I can test out the display on my laptop to make sure it works fine.

mine's out for delivery :D :D :D

To clarify there are NOT MILLIONS of pixels on this screen because the overall pixel quantity is less than 2 Million. In fact there is less than 1.8 Million Pixels. (1.764 Million Exactly).

Even the 2001FP doesn't break 2 Million Pixels. I thas 1.92 Million (16x12)

I know this pic the neowin logo looks nice and smooth but thats because its a screenie. In reality in your widescreen display does it look crisp and smooth? Because I noticed for instance on the Dell 8600 Laptop that has a widescreen lcd that the neowin logo and pretty much any other graphics don't displey as crisp and smooth and this should. In fact the neowin logo looks like is has jagged corners. I'm thinking of maybe getting that same lcd but I don't want it if its going to make pics look bad from what they should look like.

Are you using 120 DPI fonts with Windows? I believe most Dell laptops with high res screens come this way by default. Theres a known "bug/feature" in IE that makes like all images look like **** (all pixelated). Do some googling around... theres a registry setting that makes it all look great ;-).

Edit: Didn't want to double post, so... This monitor is super sexxy ;-). In fact, I'm going to sell my Mac (specs in sig) to build a PC and get this screen. I might put it on NeoBay... PM offers if I don't post it there :-P.

this thing is BEAUTIFUL! oh man, i feel like i'm staring into the sun. this is excellent, i love it.

thanks for the suggestions & coupon codes everyone :D

    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.

    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.7 / Classic 5.72.7 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.7 / Classic 5.72.7 release notes: Added added a Global Settings checkbox for ForceBoxDocs under Program Control > Force Process Options Changed disabled rich text acceptance in 'Edit ini Section' baa6968 extended completion system with context-aware filtering, improved INI key resolution, regex updates, and tooltip placement enhancements 6db2a04 Fixed fixed crash in VMware when running inside sandbox caused by NtQueryDirectoryObject hook returning non-null-terminated strings and uninitialized padding bytes in OBJECT_DIRECTORY_INFORMATION structures, which caused QueryDosDeviceW to crash in wcscmp #5390 Add short-name fallback cache and heuristics #5404 fixed addon setup not working introduced in a recent build fixed Starting from version 1.17.4, using the 'Sandbox with Data Protection' type box causes PowerShell to wait indefinitely, while there is no such bug with other types. #5408 fixed Importing encrypted box no longer creates encrypted image in v1.17.6 #5399 fixed EditorSettings fuzzy matching not applied, showing few/no completion entries, and table cell highlighting not updating fixed Error enumerating and deleting folder. #5406 fixed black box import/export when 'ProtectAdminOnly=y' (default) and SandMan does not run as admin Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.3 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.2 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.2 changelog: Fixes a crash when starting the graphical interface without a display on Linux Fixes MP3 metadata encoding and ID3 tag writing issues on Windows Fixes a crash when loading audio with autosave enabled on Windows user paths containing non-ASCII characters Fixes a freeze when batch-processing more than 5 files with a 64-bit VST plugin Fixes some conditions in audio mixer Fixes loudness statistics for surround files and Short-Term Maximum Loudness accuracy Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
