Hi.

I've had my $750 2405FPW for quite a while now (probably the best money I've ever spent on something computer related) and though I really like it I'd like a second normal aspect LCD to supplement the widescreen display.

I've thought about the Dell 1905FP but the measurements don't line up as would like -- I've measured the 2405FPW's height at 14.25 inches and would like its potential companion to be as close to that length on either it's longer or shorter side, the 1905 is at least 16 inches on both sides. I would prefer the LCD to be by Dell, also.

Another recommendation I'd like is for monitor stands. I've looked primarily at Ergotrons but nothing seems to meet my requirements of being desk-mounted and supporting the 2405FPW and another monitor while allowing movement of both.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

SKORPI0, thanks for the pics. That helps me out alot.

Is the black portion of the stand on the 2001FP curved and different than the 2405FPW?
Have you calibrated the monitors so color/contrast/brightness etc. are pretty uniform?
Thanks.

Not calibrated in any way. IIRC contrast/brightness cannot be adjusted if connected via DVI.

I'm using a dual DVI NVidia 6600GT AGP. Needs to be upgraded when I have the money.

Not really sure if I want to use Ultramon right now.
