I don't understand Dell at all.

I might just go ahead and place a new order and plan to return the one that comes last. What do I have to lose? Sheesh.

NO! Eek don't order again, then I'll have to wait alone!

Any backlight problems as reported on the 2005FPWs?
--------

I have noticed something on dark backgrounds, but I am not sure if it is just an LCD thing.

I need to find out soon so I can exchange if needed.

EDIT: It is not bothering me in actual use, I am only concerned that I might be missing out on an even better image.

 

[CTrain]

Yay, its here.
Pictures and review(as compared to the 2005 that I returned) later.

Thats hilarious that you're the one that started the thread and it took you longer than any of us who were following your advice to get the monitor
Enjoy brother, and thanks again for hooking us all up :shocked:

 

[ProUser]

I'm in CA, and still waiting for mine as well... I even have overnight shipping on it, and I ordered this one like the first day!

Getting really mad here. It'd be one thing if everybody were in the same boat, but seeing orders placed after mine (in CA too) getting shipped is making me angry at Dell (but happy for those people who got theirs).

 

[mrBeBoT]

Eek maybe they'll send us two?

Maybe its more specific than just California? Where are you guys located? I'm in Orange County with an order date of 3/7, est. ship date of 3/17, and est arrival date of 3/21! Is it possible only certain areas of California are having problems? I wouldn't think so, but since others in CA are having their orders ship within 24-48 hours it makes me wonder.

I'm in LA with the same order and estimated ship date as you.

Border of OC/LA here (Cerritos). I did see a SD order ship, though that may be another 'area' altogether.

I just ordered one for $860 plus 5% MA tax and free 2nd day shipping through Renee. Great person and awsome deal! Anyone ordered around MA, if so how long did it take from order to delivery?

 

[astrocase]

I'm in L.A., Long Beach specifically and mine shipped in about 12 hours. I'll have it Monday.

You guys should call and complain. Regardless of the savings you still spent almost a grand. Call them up and explain to them that you know of others who recieved theirs in a timely fashion and you want yours shipped now. If they cancel your order just reorder it. You have nothing to lose.

 

[sapiens74]

I got mine for $950 but they overnighted it for me to Hawaii

Now I can sell my Apple 30"

 

[astrocase]

Why downgrade? Does the 30" have issues?

 

[xfactor1337]

I ordered mine on the evening of the 8th from Andy. It shipped yesterday and will be here tomorrow! w00t! Sorry to everyone not getting theres quicker. If it makes you feel better it showed the original ship date as the 18th. $860 (920.20 after tax in NC).

Thanks guys!

-X-

 

[Bmott]

IM in Santa Monica and mine won't ship till the 17th Either. DAMN YOU LA COUNTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At least give me an update come on.

 

[astrocase]

It still might. My delivery date as of last night was for the 21st.

I believe that in order to run beyond the 1920x1200 resolution, Apple needed 2 video cards or something of that nature.

Well, so much for my idea that certain parts of California are shipping slower than others.

Actually, by DVI spec, anything above 1600x1200 should be run using dual-link DVI since regular single-link DVI barely has bandwidth for 1600x1200 (according to tomshardware anyways )

EDIT: I don't mean to say that u can't run 1920x1200 with regular DVI (single-link), it apparently works in majority of cases but the 30" ACD native res is way too much for for it.

 

[Bmott]

What is this dual link DVI, does this mean that i should use both the heads out of my DUAL-DVI 6800 ???

Read more here. Dual link DVI is not the same thing as Dual DVI
