Congrats Nik. Last month I finally replaced my fuzzy dying 19" crt with a dell 2005fpw. OMG what difference.
RossMan FTW.

Just placed an order for the 2405 after I saw this thread. It reminded me that I wanted to see if they had a price drop, and it went from $999 to $849. Hopefully it gets here this week.:D

1920x1200 > *

it's the same ratio

So? 1920x1200 is a better resolution. And you can fit 1080 HD content on it.

oh. i was focusing on the widescreen part like it was some weird combination. i see you mean it's just a crappy resolution in general.

I just got an LCD yesterday too. Got a Proview 19" 1440x900 to replace a washed-out burned-in 20" hp P1120 CRT. It was cheap ($260), but it's responsive, has great black levels, and best of all No Dead(stuck on) Pixels. I still aren't used to just how small it is compared to the monster that used to sit here. I want a 2407fpw now :D

2560x1600 > 1920x1200

Although you're right about it being better than lesser wide screen resolutions. Anything less than WUXGA is gonna be dissapointing because it can't do 1080p.

You're retarded. :laugh:

Sorry no, Intelligence>Nik

1280X1024 IS higher resolution than 1440X900

More resolution=more pixels, no?

He's right.
1280*1024 = 1,310,720 pixels
1440*900 = 1,296,000 pixels

Widescreen is still more better then that crappy 5:4 resolution, though :p

Have you ever had a Viewsonic?

You sir, fail.

Compared my viewsonic VX2025wm 20.1" with the dell 2005fpw, my viewsonic had a much better picture. Viewsonic FTW

I don't think he was arguing that you were wrong about the total number of pixels- just reminding us all that you are retarded. I agree with Nik on this point.
