Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW 20 inch LCD Monitor

Pros: Everything. Huge pivoting widescreen monitor. Very fast. Amazing price.
Cons: Cables may tug on screen in portrait mode and doesn't rotate a full 90'.

As a computer tech that recommends hardware to clients, I searched for over a year before stumbling upon this amazing monitor. Quick answer: Buy it, you'll love it. Any LCD with response time (the speed at which a pixel changes color) under 25 is ...

Pros: Price, performance, contrast, brightness, size, color, viewing angles.
Cons: At the price I paid for them, absolutely none.

Background For quite some time I've wanted an LCD display. They have a nice bright display, and their small stature makes them excellent for desks. I was reluctant to pick one up for several reasons. I'm a hardcore PC gamer, so ghosting issues ...

Pros: - no problems since I bought it 4 months ago
Cons: - its pretty heavy and not very portable

I used a comparison for this review: Firstly the apple and dell use the same lg phillips tube They tie in this category 0-0 dell has a 176 degree Viewing angle Apple has a 170 degree Viewing Angle Dell wins 1-0 Dell has a 12ms response time ...

Pros: Includes most standard video inputs, sturdy and attractive design, exceptional scaling capabilities. HDTV support!
Cons: Some backlight bleed, no component input.

I have owned this monitor for about a year now. Some great reviews have been written for this product, so I will use this to cover the parts of the monitor that seem to be left uncovered, including scaling options, the Master Brightness/Contrast ...

Pros: Big screen, very wide, good refresh rate, great colors, low cost, great deal.
Cons: Minor backlighting issues for black graphics due to overall monitor brightness.

Recently my main project has been building a new gaming computer, and my wife asks me what we can do about my aging 17" Samsung CRT monitor. I tell her that we can move the CPU box around so the monitor doesn't stick out so far, or move the desk out ...

Pros: Great display quality; DVI connectivity; Built-in USB Hub; Fast performance.
Cons: Still got wires. Could still be cheaper. A bit on the heavy side.

If you read my postings, you can clearly see how much I love my computer equipment. Monitors, however, have never been that big of a deal for me. After I went to 17", everything was pretty much done. Until now. I got the 20.1" widescreen Flat ...

Pros: No Ghosting Sturdy Design & Construction Bright Picture Fast/Easy Installation Great Product
Cons: None

You get more. I was skeptical about this monitor because as a gamer and custom pc user I don't trust dell. Generally their products are substandard and overpriced. This is an exception. I bought this monitor because I had to have a 20 inch ...

Pros: Quality LCD display, multiple inputs, small footprint, several extras ports, highly adjustable, discounts abound.
Cons: Still a bit pricey, requires compatible graphics card resolution for best performance.

Several friends of mine purchased and recommended this display to me. Everyone I knew loved it, so I took a hard look at the unit and picked one up. My intent was to upgrade to a large LCD display (and this certainly qualifies) primarily for gaming ...

Pros: Excellent value, s-video inputs, bright, crisp images, USB ports on monitor
Cons: Some backlight bleeding, no HDCP support (added to 2007FPW)

Widescreen displays are growing in popularity, obviously. Most PC manufacturers are starting to offer them, or even include them, with desktop computer purchases. Apple has been pushing them for quite a while too (more on Apple later). It's no surprise ...

Pros: Everything. Design, performance, price.
Cons: My only regret is that I didn't jump to the 23 inch monitor.

So here's to the best monitor I have owned to date. Now the most common comparison this will draw is with Apple's own 20.1 inch display. This is especially so since they use the same LG Phillips LCD panel. The key difference among the two is the ...

Pros: Lightweight, height adjustable stand, USB ports, VIVID coloring
Cons: Price tag, although in this case you are paying for what you get!

Okay, so you see that the monitor has a huge price tag.. this is one of the few cases that I - Mrs Frugal actually feel you get what you pay for. Plus, even though the current sales price is right around 480 - 500 bucks, you can hunt around online.. ...

Pros: general build quality, styling, customer support, 1680x1050 resolution, heavy base, sound power, DVI input
Cons: 1680x1050 resolution

I have owned a Dell 2005FPW for about a week now and I am happy with my purchase for reasons I did not expect. I've been using Dell flat panel monitors at work for quite a few years so first let's list the good things that I did expect. The LCD imaage ...

Pros: bang for the buck
Cons: sub-par design

Paid $380 total (Dell now charges state sales tax) and replaced my trusty Apple 17" LCD. The Good: • Out of box setup is easy, but there is a profusion of cables, so it takes a few minutes. Dell includes both DVI and VGA cables. • On boot ...

Pros: Clarity, Brightness, Size, LCD Quality, Extras!
Cons: Mismatch of materials, Color Calibration, Backlight Bleeding

Let me start this off with saying that this is an excellent monitor. If I were to buy this again, I would. Now, let's get down to the details. Construction The bezel isn't huge like some other LCDs which is great. I really like the aluminum ...

Pros: Good price/features.
Cons: Abysmal customer service! Product failed after 1 year of light usage.

I got my 2005FPW a little over a year ago. For the money, I think it's a good/great monitor, when it's working. Features Easy to set up, decent cord management, I like the 2 USB ports built into the monitor. On screen menus are relatively ...
