Anybody with firsthand experience on Dell 2001FP, or Dell LCDs in
general? TIA.

For reference, I tried the Samsung 204T. Acceptable picture (too much
blue and brightness, which is strangely impossible to get rid of while
maintaining decent contrast) but horrible response with jump/skip as
well as smearing (especially bad at blues, verified w Pixel
Persistence Analyzer). The Viewsonic I mentioned in an earlier post
had decent response in comparison but of course image was
unacceptable. I'm hoping for better luck with Dell.

I have the E193FP (the "cheap" 19"). I do not use it for gaming and am very
happy with it. It has nice brightness, contrast and color and is very
pleasant to use.

I am also interested in the 2001FP as an upgrade at some point.

I've been using a 2005FP for several months, I love it and am planning
to purchase a second.

OK, what's Dell's game? 2001FP is what, 2-3 years old? I checked this
morning and the price has gone *up*. Makes no sense. Oh well, I read
on a forum about some people complaining about screendoor effect on
the Dell too. I suppose it's related to how good your vision is. And
so the quest continues.

"Only" 19", but I just got a Samsung SyncMaster 930B, and love it.
8ms response time, 700:1 contrast ratio, 300 on the brightness scale,
analog RGB and digital DVI inputs, no dead pixels. What's not to like?

I paid $319 locally after rebates.

Dell's prices vary frequently. If you're not in a hurry, wait until
March/April and you'll get a great deal.

The 2005FPW was $150 off yesterday, today it's back to the normal price
(which has dropped $150/year since the release of this monitor)

I don't know, I just don't see any advantage going to 19" from/instead
of 17" (or 18") because it's just a coarser grid of the same
resolution. Unless you are viewing it from 10 feet, the larger area
actually works against you.

Then again, I don't understand the recent trend of putting mirrors on
laptops instead of screens.

Hmm. I don't understand Dell's strategy then. I was seriously planning
on buying the 2001FP, but now I *feel like* it would be stupid to pay
an extra $70 over a product's worth (that's how the irrational human
mind works, even if the new price is also reasonable). So I'm not
going to buy it now. Of course had I checked it at the end of the high
price and saw it reduced, I would be very tempted to buy. In the end,
those probably even out, except the people who know about Dell's game,
who end up *waiting* for reductions instead of buying whenever they
need it, which means Dell is simply delaying making a sell, and then
selling cheaper than an evened out constant price would be, which is
not a good thing for a company to do if you ask me.

I do own a Dell 2001FP, and I am very satisfied with it, the picture are crystal
clear and even it games there is no ghosting, and I'm using it at 1600x1200 for
everything, on a SLI enable system (SLI is install)
