How is everybody getting theirs delivered already? I ordered one Tuesday and one yesterday...the one from Tuesday is estimated to be delivered the 17th, and the one from yesterday is still "in production".

WELL HOW IS IT ??????????????????????

monitor is very very nice way better than my old 15"

but i have a vertical row of dead pixels @#$@#$@#$

its a blue line looks like im gonna have to send it back for another one unless the problem fixes itself within the day or so


What day did you order yours?

I'm hoping I get my 2000FP today, the tracking number Dell's automated system provided is invalid according to UPS (probably hasn't been entered yet).

Viper GTS

i ordered about 11 pm on the 10th

it was shipped via airborne express

i was able to get a tracking number by calling up order status

the online one isnt accurate at all



Viper - I ordered mine early yesterday, dell said it has shipped but the UPS number provided when I called them is also invalid. Either they haven't entered it or they forgot to enter it. I ordered mine with the 3-5 free shipping like everyone else, however we've already heard stories of them using Airbone express to ship overnight, so I don't know what to think. I guess it gets here when it gets here, and we get to be clueless until then =)

Wait a sec... were those codes stackable? I thought they were not??? If so, I'm such an idiot... had one of those codes too!

Can someone familar with dell SB help. Are their policies similar to Dell Home. Can't find it online. What is there return policy? Restocking Fee? Will they pay for return shipping? Also whats their policy about price adjustement within 30days. Will they adjust price if Dell home has better deal? thanks.

Call Dell to get the UPS tracking number (and ya, watch out for the "V" as the third digit, sounds like "Z" on the phone).

Tracking # doesnt show up on the web, but is avail via phone.

A lot of people seem to be getting overnight with the smaller LCD's, my roommate ordered a 17" for his parents last week & it was shipped via Airborne Express ovenright as well.

My 2000FP, however, is coming via UPS. Scheduled delivery on the 17th. Goddammit. :(

And yes, the 1ZZ... killed me as well, changed it to a V & it tracks fine.

Agreed, looks like the 20s are coming regular UPS, smaller sizes overnight.

Well, I called Airborne Express last night and was told the package would arrive by 12 o'clock today. Now, I'm wondering if they meant noon, because it still isn't here, although the site shows it's out for delivery.

after about being on for 4 hours my dead column of pixels went away

now i dont have to ship it black

from what i observed so far

no ghosting from what i can tell

i only tried warcraft 3 and counterstrike

i watched a little bit of X-Men on DVD and it looks fabulous by makes me wish DVDs were better than 720x480 res :(

it is extremely sharp at native resolutions
at 1280x1024 is fine but i would not try scaling lower than that with this monitor

will update after some gamecube testing :D

my only complaint so far is you can only tilt up and not down

but so far this has been $760 well spent
and it is worlds better than my viewsonic VG150

The dude in the UPS truck opened up your monitor and is playing Splinter Cell on it in the back of his truck right now. :)

I couldn't resist. Total cost for the 2000FP was $837.06 with next business day delivery. I had been buying them for 1069.00 which I thought was a good deal

I read some guy with a BigWallet had his order cancelled. Anyone else have their order cancelled as well? Mine still says "In Transit" on their website.

I ordered mine 3am 12/11/2002.

Dell says:
Status: In Transit To Local Carrier

I called and got my UPS tracking number. UPS has my monitor now.
