Dell 2000FP vs Dell 2001FP

[jimbob200521]

in reading reviews on one of these monitors or the other, i have noticed the general concensus that the 2001fp is the better looking of the two (a matter of personal taste, however), and that the 2001fp, if viewed at very close distances (6" or less) can have a "screen door" effect. so...

question one: anybody with either of the monitors have any opinions on either?

question two: has anybody else who has the 2001fp noticed this effect?

thanks

What about the FPW model? Just got one two weeks ago for less than $400.00 and looks and works great!

The 2000FP is old school and has a high response time, therefore it is prone to ghosting. Not to mention the chassis is rather nasty looking.

The 2001FP is one of the best LCD's on the market to this day. Do a search for 2001FP and you'll see what I mean.

** FWIW the SDE effect can be found on just about any LCD if you look for it.

ghosting doesnt seem to be a problem that is, well, a problem with the 2000fp. the only time that anybody really mentioned it was at a resolution lower than native, and only then slightly when it was displaying dark colors on light backgrounds, or vice versa, i cant remember which.

and as for the response time, as far as im concerned, if theres no ghosting or artifacts or anything that affects the picture negativly, the response time could be 100ms for all i care.

for the record, i havent noticed any ghosting or anything on my 2000fp, but that doesnt mean it wont happen and i wont

the 2001 is a better LCD overall than the 2000. I'd choose the 2001 but its your choice.

u do NOT want the old 2000!! I had it for 1 year before the 2001 came out... it was good but the 2001 is much better... not to mention the old was heavy and did not have usb ports and big border.. ugly too
