Currently they both use the same 16ms panel, but the 2001FP offers a 4 port USB hub, S-Video, and Composite Video connectors.

They're the same panel. Aside from the widgets, the main difference is having people say, "Oooh, so even you computer guys buy Dells huh? I didn't know your computer was a Dell." You will never convince them that only your monitor is a Dell.

I looked at the Viewsonic next to a Samsung 213t. The Viewsonic has like a grid superimposed on it. I assume that's the "screen door" effect you always hear about.

No it doesn't. It's missing the extra inputs and connectors.
