Dell 2001Fp Owners!! plz share your experience

I actually bought it online for $750 with tax & shipping included, but I called in a week later and told them I was thinking about returning it. The CSR gave me about $102 credit back to my credit card! :) That definately made me think twice about returning it!

Dell 2001Fp Owners!! plz share your experience

I used a Dell 17" Widescreen LCD TV which was nice for watching DVDs, but I gave in and upgraded to the 2001FP and do not regret it. I got mine for $650 and so far no dead pixels. I love how big the screen is and watching movies on it are dope! I think you'll be pleased with your purchase...

Looking for a video card with DVI. Don't care about gaming, just surfing the web. However, I would like this card to last through Longhorn, and I heard you need DirectX 9.0 for that and at least a 128mb card. Does OpenGL matter to me if I"m not gaming? I know the 9600/9800PRO are...
