Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW Wide Aspect Black 20.1" LCD Monitor - T6130
Customer Review: Bright, reliable monitor
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: awesome picture for a resonable price.. buggy software

Just bought a brand new one off eBay for about 375 bucks. Lovin it. Im getting rid of my original Dell FP17in. INterestingly, I am running both on a dual monitor card and the differences in clarity owing to the contract ratio are amazing. (I am cheating a bit because the old on is running off analog and this one has the DVI interface.)
I love the fact that it has a 4 port USB hub on the monitor, as that helps me from having to fumble behind the desktop.
Excellent reproduction of bright and dark colors. Love the fact that it can be rotated, but havent really used the feature much.
Cons:
- Not really a fault of the monitor, but several applications cant really take advantage of the wide aspect ratio hence its a waste of white space at times.
Never thought Dell could make a decent cheap monitor to compete with Samsung, but they did it again.
Customer Review: This is one beautiful monitor

I write this review while using this gorgeous monitor... I am a bit of a hardware snob - I've really only been impressed with the flatscreen monitors that Apple has put out. Until i bought this one (it took some impressive online reviews to convince me) - and i am more than really impressed with it!
The colours are so clean and bright - at first it kind of looks surreal, there is almost no loss of colour or brightness at a range of angles (and it is amazingly bright). it raises up and down, swivels 90 degrees (in case you want to view two pages vertically) has a heap of inputs, and is quite attractive also.
So, for anyone who wants a good widescreen monitor (a really good one!) get this baby! You will not be disappointed at all! And i really do mean that.
Customer Review: Superb!!

This is the 4th moniter I have owned. It is my first Dell, Ive had Samsung and even a viewsonic. I loved my samsung. Shortly after plugging it in and turning on my PC I saw how different the widescreen is. At first it seemed a little awkward, but now I know every monitor from now on would be a widescreen. It just looks more natural. As for the quality... The Dell is what I have always heard it was. The picure is extremely sharp and perfect for the games I play and movies I watch. most movies fit almost perfect to the screen and the shooters I play look more natural on the widescreen. I would reccomend this to anyone who likes to do more than just checking emails. A truely great product.Customer Review: Gorgeous monitor with great features

I purchased this display to use with my Mac, and I have to say, I am NOT disappointed. The display is crisp and bright, and very easily adjustable in terms of height and angle.
The ability to connect multiple inputs is great, although I wish I could use the PiP feature with VGA and DVI; I have my PC laptop connected to the VGA input and my Mac is connected via DVI, but I cannot put both inputs "side by side" as you can with the other video inputs - but this is a minor quibble.
Overall, a great display and I couldn't be happier.
