POLL: Gaming with 2005FPW vs. 2001FP

[Ackmed]

This isnt about CRT vs. LCD. Dont turn it into that. CRT is king to you, not to everyone else.

It's strange, though... The 2001FP seems better (rationally) to me, as someone who hasn't seen either monitor. It just seems like something designed for the typical gaming aspect ratio would work better. And of course, there's the thread about how the 2005FPW is only as tall as a 17" monitor... Pshhh, who wants that?

Yet, it seems that everyone who has actually tried both ends up liking the 2005FPW better. I wonder why that is...?

because WIDESCREEN KICKS ASS.

I could not vote in your poll for there was nothing I could pick that would fit my situation. I would like to make one comment. I bought my first 2005fpw in Nov of 04. I purchased my second 2005fpw in July of 05. I would say that the monitor is used exclusively 75% of the time for gaming. The second monitor is going to be utilized for encoding also but can't share any comments on that yet...

If you want widescreen *and* the advantages of a high end CRT get the 24" Sony FW900 , I bought one a few weeks ago and it kills any LCD ive seen in action 😉

More info Here.

Few pics I took:

FW900 on my Desk

FarCry shot

Half Life 2 shot

Men in Black in 1080i (monitor set 1900x1200 res)

My digicam can only do so much so of course it looks better in person.

Anyhow as far as 2001FP vs. 2005FPW goes I did own a 2001FP but not a 2005fpw, I couldnt recommend the 2001FP to anyone these days mainly because of its VERY poor black level output ..there are better 1600x1200 panels out nowadays such as the Samsung 214T.
