dont get it from another site... go to sites like fatwallet or slickdeals and search "2005fpw": if you're patient, wait for some stackable coupons...the lowest it has ever been is around 330. if you want it now, look for coupons and see how low you can get it for. 400 is a good point...

for those still curious about the lines: "One thing we did notice was that the displays looked like they had extremely low refresh rates. You could see the screen refreshing much like a CRT set to 60Hz. Granted the technology is still pre-production so that could explain the issue." "The...

wodner hwo funny it'll look on a desk.

they've sent me a refurb once (on my like fifth 2005fpw that suffered backlighting problems). it had a huge sticker (EDIT: sticker on box) that marked it refurbished. the boxing is different and obviously so. apparently they do plug in and "test" these monitors..though their standards are low...

in my opinion: still picture quality: lcd > crt i prefer the the vivid, crisp, and sharp image over the more accurate but blande look of crt images. but i do miss my blacks, and perfect color uniformity. motion picture: crt >> lcd lcd ghosting is distracting and very obvious IF i...

i thought my ps2 and gc games looked like crap on my 2005fpw. the graphics are alot smoother on tv. the graphics of gc and ps2 games look too pixely. plus there's ghosting. i am sure it's the same for it's bigger brother. just my opinion though.

uh, why dont you keep it in one thread or atleast explain your previous thread to show your appreciiation towards the situation. i would have bashed this thread had you not came out to explain your disatisfaction with their customer service, and not with them not replacing. anyways...

you are pretty much guaranteed to get less eyestrain, but complete elimination depends on your eyes, distance, and usage. but isn't less alone worth it?

nice comparison, but aw, no pictures?? lol

i like the D-base, i also like the dell logo. i've seen a lot uglier looking screens, i find dell designs one of the better one. the only thing i would have liked more is slimmer and flat side frame.

screw backlight...can you resist its price? lol, currently just about $500.

if you really want it... my guess is it'll hit around $550 or less in a week or two, if you can wait that long. no guarantees though. but dont worry, the price will get lower...
