Customer Reviews

Bright, reliable monitor
I liked this monitor enough the first time I bought it to insist on the same model, not the 2007 version, the second time I bought it. The color reproduction on the 2005 series of dell monitors, you may notice, is better than the 2007 series. Though, for truest color reproduction, you should use a CRT.

I use one of these for my Mac Mini (DVI input) and the other for my gaming rig (PC). The response time is super quick, colors are bright and crisp. The only problems I have ever run into is with the odd aspect not being readily recognized on some older versions of linux. Most current versions recognize the 1680 x 1050 pixel aspect.

You may have trouble finding these new anymore, but if you do, it's a good purchase. Also, it supports 90 degree rotation if you want to do some desktop publishing that way. It seemed unusually narrow to me when viewed that way, but did work just as well.

Awesome Monitor, Awesome Price
This monitor is fantastic. It looks great physically even though many people complain about the Dell's "cruddy" design. I think the black/silver colors and very thin area around the screen all look very nice sitting on any desk.

I purchased this monitor for use with my Apple MacBook Pro. Since Apple uses DVI instead of VGA, I wanted a monitor with support for DVI so I didn't have to use a VGA adaptor anymore. I recently sold my Dell E193FP monitor which worked well with the laptop, I just wanted something that was about the same height and widescreen. The 2005FPW seems to match up better in terms of color/brightness/contrast with the screen on my MacBook Pro. Apple's screens are known for being a little brighter, so I had a hard time matching the E193FP's screen to the Mac's. This monitor looked dead on the minute I connected it. I work as a web designer, so its very important that I have two monitors that look the same. The monitor also came with a new VGA and a DVI cable.

Another thing that caught my attention with this monitor were built in Composite Video and S-Video ports. I also recently purchased a slim PS2 (silver) and wanted a monitor that I could plug the PS2 into so that I didn't have to lug a TV up to college for my last semester. I popped the standard PS2 video cable into the monitor and it worked! The picture isn't really anything to brag about, but it suits my needs and will work for me when I don't have a TV around. I'm going to try picking up an S-Video cable for the PS2 as the picture should look a little better with S-Video over Composite.

Overall I'm very happy with the monitor. I got a killer deal on this monitor as it was refurbished. It came in a new Dell box and came with the CD drivers which I'll need for my Dimension 8400 if I ever decide to use it for other than a networked storage computer.

Great bright display, quality, high res
I liked this LCD monitor so much I purchased another one.
It's bright, great colours, works portrait or landscape, great resolution (to 1600x1???), great viewing area, easy on the eye.
As I said, I've purchased 2, and had no problems (the original is 18 months old, the last one 9 months old) - no problems.
