Dell 2005FPW 20" Widescreen

[Tweakin]

I've had this for 3 days now, and I love the thing...except (there is always an exception isn't there...) it has some minimal edge bleeding from the lower two corners. Is this common for the 2005? Mine is also the latest Rev 3 design.

Other then that, just some minimal Gamma tuning and it's a sweet machine...just wish the black was deeper...

This is very common for the LCD, and is probably the biggest complaint most people have. I have an A00, and I can only see the backlight bleed on mine when the screen is completely black. If you notice it all the time, RMA the monitor back to Dell. They will crossship, so you won't be out a monitor while they get the new one to you.

I knew the original revisions had this issue, but I thought that was taken care of from A02 on...guess not.

I don't even notice it once windows opens, and with my luck the new item would have some stuck pixels 😉

Here's how mine looks: http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/9519/dell2005new0016yk.jpg It's basically a "perfect" 2005 FPW since it has no light leakage at all and very uniform brightness. I had to go through 3 exchanges with Dell to finally get this one and I think I just got lucky.

Mine has it, dont notice unless Im in pitch black room with almost completely dark screen. Only problem is black backgrounds, which kinda sucks cause there are some nice space desktop backgrounds that I would like. Luckily the monitor makes up for it in PRETTYNESS factor. I still luv it.
