Hi everyone,
Have had my 2001FP for a year and loved 1600x1200 for Photoshop, movies, games, etc., especially since it replaced a 15" Viewsonic TFT. That said I really want to go widescreen. Dell seems to be the best combo of cheap and reliable now, as it was a year ago. I've provisionally ruled out 2405FPW because I don't think my system can drive games at 1920x1200 comfortably. I also have the impulse buyer's trigger finger and don't want to wait for the 2407FPW.
Normally I'd just go straight for the 2007FPW, but I read the lengthy thread about banding and that's caused me to consider the older model. I don't expect I'll see banding if it IS a problem with the TFT panels Dell uses or indeed the onboard DVI decoder as some suspect, but I *might*. And the 2005FPW is $100 cheaper.
That said, what will I be missing if I buy the 2005FPW instead of the 2007FPW? I'm slightly aware of HDCP support, Vista concerns, etc., but I haven't explored it in depth yet. Thanks!
