    Dell new 20" wide LCD 2005FPW. Has anyone seen this beast?

    Have you tried turning on cleartype? That helped me clear up some minor problems I saw, although it sounds like you're having more issues than that would fix.

    Dell new 20" wide LCD 2005FPW. Has anyone seen this beast?

    Honestly, I don't know for a fact that the 9800 non-pro supports that res, but it likely does. I have a 9800 pro in my 2nd pc, so I know that one does. I'm running a 6800 GT in my primary gaming pc, and know it works also. The 6600 series is new enough that I'm sure it would be OK. As I...

    I don't have experience with the 2001fp, but the 2005fpw works great for me. Of course, I went from an older 19" CRT (not even flat screen) to the 2005fpw, so it wasn't a really fair comparison. It really seems to be a matter of personal preference. I've read this thread and have a good idea...

    Dell new 20" wide LCD 2005FPW. Has anyone seen this beast?

    I've been following this thread a while and decided to get the 2005fpw. I ordered it on Friday (1/21) and based on what I'd seen here I was counting on at least two weeks until I saw it.
