ANyone know if the 2001Fp comes with a DVI cable?
If not, what DVI cabe would I need? Sorry for the retarded question.

This monitor can play all games, but there are caveats. You need a very powerful graphics card if you want all the bells and whistles, otherwise, you'll have to drop down your settings. I play Far Cry and Doom3 which seem to run well at 1600x1050. The other factor is you need to find the hacks for games to display in the correct aspect 16:10. There are two sites for this: Dave's Widescren Gaming Hacks and Widecreen Gaming Forum. I will look up the urls later or you can google them.

I love the 2005FPW. Combined with the GeForce6800OC, it is awesome.

help!
Right im in the UK, I am going to pay for the monitor and it will shipped to a friend in the US (who will then ship to me) but!! I could pay by credit card but you cant select UK! so he will have to pay, but he also has no credit card, so what is an e-check? how do I set it up? is it just paypal?

Well, I'm in for one 2001FP and 1 2005FPw. $40 coupon helped it to stay under $600 with tax. Will let you know what I think of my first LCD when they get here!

please take my calculations with a grain of salt because im basing my numbers on the max screen resolutions assuming that they reoughly approximate the actual screen dimensions. Some of this is speculation and can be disputed if the actual screen dimensions are not acuratly represented by the pixel resolutions.

However, it is safe to say that, by some margin, the 2001 will have some percent greater viewable area than the 2005


Dude, 1680x1050 = 16:10

exactly.

:D

How did you get it down to $480?
I have 2 20% off Dell Flat Panel if anyone is interested. Not as good as 25% off but its better than nothing. PM me if interested.
