Dell 20", 2005FPW, the best for gaming at 600?

[mattburklund]

I can pick up the dell 20" 2005FPW for about 600 including shipping. Is there any thing better for 600?
Thanks
Matt

I think the Dell 20" 2001FP would be better for gaming. Same price, but the 2005FP would be better for widescreen video

And the sign says "You got to have a membership card to get inside" Huh
So I got me a pen and paper And I made up my own little sign</pre><p></font color=red>

Thanks, Is that just becuase of image distortion due to stretching, or is it something else like, the older one has a better response time in real life?
Thanks Again
Matt

Games use widescreen and those that don't can be modified. There's a forum out there that tells you all about it.

I want to get one when I can stack the 25% off coupon with a $40 off or something, and even better if AMEX has another $150 off coupon.

Some of these guys got that thing for $450.

That is pretty good at 450. Do you know any way to get it lower than the 600 now?
Thanks

The 25% coupons have all expired (1/5) How can you guys get it for that price?

I just called the business line, not consumer.

They had problems with the 2005FPW until early early January. Apparently now they have an A01 revision that is perfect. Mine should be in this week and I'll post pictures of the 2005FPW next to my 19" KDS trinitron CRT for comparison. My video card doesn't do dual though, so I'll just be posting those for size comparisons, and then I'll post some IQ screens as well.

Should be coming in this week. I'm sure I'll love it.

I just picked up a Dell 2001FP when the price dropped a week ago to $599. Got it 5 days ago-2 days to get here!

I love the display. Crisp and bright, NO dead pixels that I can find. I use it for gaming also, MMORPGs, and see no ghosting or problems with dark areas.

Would recommend it.
