Any 20" 1600x1200 4:3 better than Dell 2007FP?

[DaveSimmons]

D'oh! We had a couple of Dell 2001fp LCDs we used for trade shows that were just "lost" in shipping.

These were great for trade shows because they did an excellent job of scaling 1024x768 up to the native 1600x1200 so we had large displays that were easy to read from a distance.

Dell no longer offers the 2001fp, just the 2007fp for $489.

This was to demo Windows apps so we don't care about movie or game performance. So:

- can anyone wilth the the 2007fp tell me how well it works at 1024x758?

- are there any other sub-$600 20" 1600x1200 LCDs we should consider instead?

I got a very good deal on three of these a while back. The rev A02 ones look pretty good, especially for what I paid for them. ( ok, you twisted my arm... $365 for three of them :evil: )

I just tried out 1024x768 for you and it looked pretty decent.

I don't know if you can tell anything from this, but here's a pic

Nice, it's showing up as $416 for me with your SB link, vs. $489 in Home.

The text looks sharp in your pic (thanks), so we might just stop looking and start buying

Looks like there are some 25% off coupons floating around ebay too if you want to give that a look.

Seems like sealed ones are going for around $340 - $375 off ebay if you want to consider that too.

I'm not sure if there's a better option out there for you, but these seem like they would work pretty well for you.

I just purchased the Samsung 204B 20.1 inch and it is beautiful. 5ms response time and 800:1 contrast. When running in 1600x1200, it is an amazingly clear picture. The monitor looks great too, especially the silver model. Mine came with zero dead pixels, and it cost only $300 after rebate!
