Hi Everyone...

This monitor will make you pee yer pants. It is bright with excellent contrast and fine detail. Mine came with no dead pixels. Quality feel.

I have a 3rd PC that wasn't doing anything (Athlon 2800)... so ... I whipped in an old PCI(not express) 5200FX I had laying around and hooked up the 2005FPW to it's VGA connector (the 5200FX didn't have a DVI connector), turned it on... it boot up I could see my DOS boot screen as clear as ever... then it came in to windows and it truly was a thing of beauty. I will later hook it up to an ATI 9600 with DVI later today to see if I am further impressed. Everything worked perfectly right out of the box just after loading the 5200FX drivers. I quickly installed WinDVD and watched Spider man 2... holeee ding dongs Batman... better than watchin TV ;-) Nicer display than my other 2 LCD panels (17" and 18").

Anyways... for all those who are having a hard time to decide if the ah heck will even work or not... I am pretty sure it will. It's nice having the wide desktop. This is by far one of the nicer built 20" monitors I have played with awesome quality... honestly, you will pee yer pants ;-)

All this for about $950 canadian total... was advertised on the website for $999, and when I phoned... the lady was nice enough to give me 15% off and free shipping on the phone... so I just paid that and tax.

Quite jealous over here. I ordered mine on 12/10 for $554 US, and Dell promptly shipped me a nice new 1905FP. I have contacted them and arranged shipment of a 2005FPW, but the replacement has yet to ship. I was pretty excited about this monitor about 2 weeks ago, but Dell's stellar service has deflated my expectations a bit.

Glad to hear that you got a nice one though :)

Thats awful. 2 weeks and they couldn't just cross ship it to you?

As soon as you received the 1905 you should have told them to send you the RIGHT order. And give you postage for the 1905.

That's BS.

I am happy to say that my original ship date was Jan 5th.

And I received a e-mail saying it shipped on the 27th!

If i get it by the weeks end that would be faster than newegg.
