I've been looking at 17" monitors myself and am interested in the same way. I think you may be able to call Dell and order the 1704fpt. Not 100% sure though. You should be able to do better than $349 since that is regular price. I have seen comment that the 1704fpt is only available with...
OK, I'll date myself a bit.
The first graphics card I ever purchased was for my IBM Portable 5155. The computer looked like this.
The internal monitor had been going haywire and I had to replace the graphics card. I think it may have been a Hercules or Hercules compatible. The best part...
Warchild123, I agree wholeheartedly with Sadhu's advice.
In addition, maybe the following ideas can help:
1. Given that this has taken so long resolve, I think you are within reason to ask for Overnight Shipping. The problem worsens because it is going on for two weeks. If you were...
Some observations regarding recent posts.
1. Getting an e-mail saying there is a delay does not necessarily mean your monitor won't ship sooner. I received a "delay" email the same day that my monitor shipped. It shipped right around the original estimated ship date, although I was hoping...
Sorry to hear about your experience. To have just 14 days is not a 21 day policy. Dell knows when you received the monitor. I suggest you ask for Dell's Resoultions Department. I find it hard to believe Dell really wants to lose a customer for life over a misleading policy. Try to be calm...
I'm using WMP9 and notice this as well. Even when you go Full Screen, the picture doesn't take up as much of the screen when playing a 16:9 movie as it could. I also use J.River Media Center 10, and this seemed to use as much of the screen as possible without strecthing it.
I couldn't find...
Well, I have to give Dell credit. They came through and delivered my replacement monitor overnight. The one I received yesterday was damaged in shipping.
The 2005FPW is one nice monitor. Text is sharp and colors are vivid. I do have some backlight bleeding in the top lefthand corner...
A slight correction to the OP, in that the 2005FPW resolution is 1680x1050, not the 1600x1050 that was mentioned. I probably wouldn't have even brought this up, but it affects the OP point that you could still view widescreen on the 2001FP. You would not be able to run at 1680 because the max...
Finally received my 2005FPW today (ordered on 11/18). The box was in bad shape. Lots of tape and the cardboard was wrinkled badly on one side. Opened the box and the styrofoam was in pieces. When I noticed some scratches on the back of the panel, I didn't have to go any further. :|...
jpeyton, thanks for the reply. This was the kind of information I was hoping to learn about. I've been looking at cards that Newegg offers, but never heard of the Volari before. The review looks good, so I'll definately consider that one. It seems to offer more performance than the low end...
Hello all. I just ordered a Dell 2005FPW monitor. My system is a 2 yr old Dell Dimension 8250 (AGP) with GeForce4 MX 420 video. I've read conflicting comments on whether or not using the DVI port will result in noticeable improvement in picture quality.
Although I'm not a gamer, I'd like...
Sadhu, thanks for posting your review of the 2005FPW. It turns out I ordered the 2005FPW yesterday, but was suffering from buyer's remorse because I was thinking that the text would be too small, and that maybe the 1905 was better for my eyes and needs. However, the more I learned about the...
Sadhu, I have similar concerns like yours, due to not being as young as I used to be!
I find it difficult to read fine print without my reading glasses and currently have a 15" LCD at home. If I wear my glasses to look at the screen, it is clearer, but I have to sit very close which is a bit...
