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.

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).
    • DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
