The thing about the two 19" is that the response rate is 25ms as opposed to the 2005's 12ms response rate. You will notice ghosting in games with fps higher than 50.

How about 1 20" Widescreen, 1 17"?

 

[KingNothing]

How about 1 20" now, and another later when the price is at or below $400 again?

 

[Cobalt]

1 20'' if you game.

But the 2005FP is widescreen, and not all games are nice with widescreen monitors. Either choice has its problems

Non-widescreen games can be run at non-widescreen resolutions with black bars on the left and right. Not that big a deal.

E193 sucks and is their low end LCD with NO DVI.

2005FPW > *

Get a pair of 2005FPW, better LCD panel than any of Dell 19".

I hate duals. I'd go with one biga$$ screen.

 

[compudog]

No, no. Go with the two 19's.

 

[jtusa]

Two 19s and a 20.

I would get two monitors. Although I wouldn't get two LCD's. I would get one LCD and one CRT. The CRT to game and watch movies, and the LCD for everything else. This is my setup right now and I'm loving it. You will need some deskspace though.

 

[Shlong]

Well if the Two 19" had 16ms or under response time I would get that but if not then the widescreen.

I second that, except I'd rather get the 20" 4:3..

Never ever buy 19" LCDs! You're paying more for the same resolution and fatter pixels than 17".

I ended up with 2 2005FPW's

At first i was sketchy on the widescreen, I thought it'd be dumb, since i do some gaming, and have a projector for movies. I figured i would rather have a 20" non widescreen...well let me tell you - any doubts i had were gone when i set them up next to each other. Its freakin amazing, 2 all the way. Once you go dual you can't use a single monitor.
