I'm reading the AnandTech review now...they love it...

"The UltraSharp 2005FPW is the display that we have been waiting for."

Quote :

"Another critical note for gamers interested in these displays is the aspect ratio. 1680x1050 is not a very common aspect ratio (16:10). We can watch unscaled 720p inside a window on either display, or scaled 720p with black bars across the bottom of our screen, but it isn't native. Very few games support 1680x1050 as a resolution (with the exception Half Life 2 and Far Cry), so no matter what you play, you will be playing on a scaled signal. Scaled signals degrade play quality as one pixel becomes stretched or compressed to account for the screen size. Dell has an ace up their sleeve with the ability to unscale the signal and have it display as it truly should in native form in the center of the screen (the Dell 2001FP also did this). Apple's Cinema display does not have the circuitry to do this. Several games support a 1600x900 resolution, which on the Dell 2005FPW, only leaves a few pixels along each side uncropped. If you don't mind the slight scaling issues, widescreen games become incredibly immersive. Unreal Tournament 2004 and World of Warcraft are two of our favorite games of all time, and both include widescreen display modes (16:9). As a not-so-odd coincidence, we have noticed that most cross platform (PC-Mac) games usually support widescreen formats. "

it's marked as 400 something now.

11/29/2005 1:34:46 AM

I have the 24" LCD (2405FPW) in this same product line and I love it, I highly recommend it.

11/29/2005 1:44:05 AM

^^That's before you use the $100 coupon, picked one up for $357 shipped just now

11/29/2005 7:04:35 AM

God damnit tech talk, why must you force me to spend money?!

11/29/2005 8:43:16 AM

FUCK

ASS

Coupon doesn't work anymore god damnit.

FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCK FUCK FUCK

11/29/2005 9:25:19 AM

damn....i was going to order one

11/29/2005 10:11:01 AM

coupon is for 100 dollars off any purchase > 500 so you cant use this to get it down to 334 since they take the 25% first

11/29/2005 10:15:28 AM

Well, if you try the coupon on something else above $500 you will see its dead no matter what.

Tried the 20" non widescreen for the hell of it.

11/29/2005 10:18:46 AM

Damn, I was going to order 2. Thanks for the link anyway.

11/29/2005 10:20:35 AM

heh, i'm kinda glad it expired...now I won't spend $350 i don't have

11/29/2005 10:28:32 AM

heh, i was going to spend $700 i don't have

11/29/2005 11:25:53 AM

There might be hope yet. The original deal after tax for me was $357.38.

So if this thread is true:
http://thewolfweb.com/message_topic.aspx?topic=366856&page=2
Then you can still possibly get it for $371.72 so its less than $15 extra. Might be a good deal still.

He says to email him at: troneal@gmail.com but I am hoping he will update the thread.

11/29/2005 12:33:48 PM

On this you would be looking at $470 after 25% off and adding in taxes & shipping. I would take an additional 20% off so your final cost would be $375.

Let me know asap as I am placing an order by tomorrow.

11/29/2005 12:50:46 PM

ok, i feel better now

i thought this was the 24" widescreen for 355

i was gonna blow my brains out for missing this deal...

11/29/2005 1:06:56 PM

i dont know if i'd want a 24"... i like my windows to be maximized, and i dont think i would like a window that big to browse TWW or to write my word document

I bought 2 of the 1905's about a year ago, and i love them. gg dell on the LCDs

11/29/2005 1:11:48 PM

People on slickdeals were saying that their orders were on hold, evidently not true

I can't wait for this bad boy.

11/29/2005 1:41:29 PM

im sooooo glad i didnt see this yesterday.
I'd be 355 in the hole right now. Ive been waiting for a deal on this monitor for a few months, but i really couldnt afford it right now

11/29/2005 1:48:13 PM

^ I think there will be a good deal to come along within a few months. Seems they have deals on this monitor pretty often... at least thats what I'm hoping

11/29/2005 2:17:10 PM

i dont even watch slickdeals anymore, because i end up spending money on shit i really dont need. i end up buying it because it is a crazy deal.

..out of sight, out of mind

11/29/2005 7:11:05 PM

I really need to replace my 19" trinitron. Its so ... yellow... compared to the LCD next to it.

11/29/2005 7:20:06 PM

1in10^9, i had to stop looking at it myself. although i do have lots of cool shit for prices less than they still are today

11/29/2005 11:46:11 PM

i know man. i had just about every dell LCD that exists. 1704fp and fpv, 1904 dvi and non dvi, 2001fp... buy/sell/keep a bit/sell

tired of that

11/30/2005 12:23:43 AM

bttt

12/1/2005 3:48:26 PM

Why? The deal expired already

12/1/2005 4:11:28 PM

Mine is here...and I just hooked it up DVI...INCREDIBLE...omg i love this thing...

for those of you who missed it...here is another good deal, but not quite as great of a monitor
