Dell LCDS

[piotrgurin]

I am under the impression that all dell lcds have the screendoor effect, which is basically if you look at the screen very closley it looks like your looking threw a screen door and there is a rainbow effect.

Comments?

Well, LCD monitors are made up of rows and rows (and columns) of pixels. Thus, technically, all LCDs have a "screen door" effect once you look at it close enough. The question is whether or not you can see it at a normal viewing distance (say, half a meter).

Rainbow effect? Do you mean that colors invert when you're looking at it at a large angle, i.e. from the edge, rather than in front of it?

Half a meter? WTF? Just say 1.73 feet so we all know what you're talking about.

Not all countries are stuck in the middle ages. And some people know how to keep the precision while rounding. "say, half a meter" isn't "1.73 feet", it's "say, two feet".

My Dell 2005FPW LCD doesn't have a screen door effect. Not sure what you mean about the rainbow effect, but I don't see anything that could be remotely described as that. My screen does have some of the backlighting issues mentioned by other 2005FPW owners, but is only noticable when the screen is completely black. Overall, no complaints. AT did a comparison between the Dell 2005FPW and the 20" Apple Cinema display just yesterday, you might want to check out what Kristopher had to say about it.

I compared my 1905fp to samsung 193p.

The dell had cleary the screendoor effect and rainbow colors if u looked closely. The samsung had nothing of the sort.

Just wonderin.

I've used a 2001FP before, and I now own the 2005FPW. I suppose, if you really want to look for it, you could see something like a "screendoor effect" if you brought your eyes to about four inches away from the screen (that would be the case with any display with fixed pixels...). But why in the hell would you want to do that? It's certainly not visible at any reasonable viewing distance.
