no rebates!

*EDIT* deal appears to be dead, although there might be a 45 off coupon instead of the 55 one which would bring cost to 517...still a great deal if you can find the coupon

368 bucks for the 19 inch ultrasharp.

aye, shoulda mentioned that as well....I jumped on the 2005FPW....gonna pickup a 17" LCD when theres a deal on that for a sweet dual setup. I planned on getting the 2405 and thena 2001 but I won't have 1500 to spend on 2 monitors...so i figure I can pickup this one and a 17 in a couple of weeks for sub 800

Wish I had an extra $500 this would go very nice with my new system. Ohh well maybe next year.

Posidon42 · Feb 17, 2005

argh! someone talk me out of this! The only thing going AGAINST me buying this is the my 9800XT really can't play many games to my satisfaction in 1600x1200...

attack · Feb 17, 2005

it';s 1600x1050

......hmm that's doesn't help you much! I got a 9700p and I think it could hold pretty well...I only play HL2 and I'm willing to drop down settings cuz I want this for desktop space, DVD's, and wide screen gaming.

Bleed · Feb 17, 2005

which of the 2 do you think is a better deal? the 2001FP or the 2005FPW? have they resolve the backlighting issue on the 2005FPW's?

Pinky · Feb 17, 2005

Guess this is in preparation for the 24" panels being released this March.

I was debating this but the reviews on this panel are mixed, and with a very solid 24" coming out soon I think I'll wait.

Posidon42 · Feb 17, 2005

is there a way to force my 9800 pro/xt to use the native resolution of 1680x1050? I think the max resolution for this card is 1600x1200.

Posidon42 · Feb 17, 2005

I think I am just going to get the 19" one since my card can't support the wide screen format and I refuse to buy the 2001 since the model is so old. Oh yeah, and I don't like running 1600x1200.

ended up getting the 1905fp for under $400 shipped. not too shabby for a pretty decent gaming monitor. It isn't as fast as some of the other 19" lcds, but I can make payments on this one.

mattspalace · Feb 17, 2005

Yes, the issues with the 2005fpw have been fixed. I have one, so I should know. I really like mine. Beautiful screen.

Bleed · Feb 17, 2005

ended up getting the 2005fpw. could my 9800pro support its resolution?

mattspalace · Feb 17, 2005

yeah, just make sure you load the drivers for the LCD so it shows up where you select the resolution.

Bleed · Feb 17, 2005

sweet!!! thanks

It will be a cold day in hell when I spend $1200 on a 24" monitor when they are released. :-/

attack · Feb 17, 2005

yeah any of the new dets or catalysts will work fine....for more info checkout the wide screen gaming forums.....can't remember url though

*edit* bah SSS you know they'll be a 25% off coupon pretty much as soon as it's else....or would it be pretty chilling in hell for you to spend 900 as well

It'll be a cold day in hell when i pay 500 for a monitor.... But then again, I'm a poor college student w/o a job at the moment. :beer:

Npetune3000 · Feb 17, 2005

do the 2005's have the xbrite looking technology?

OCS911 · Feb 17, 2005

If Dell 24" Wide Screen for $900 is hot chili pepper deal, I would get one for myself too

Posidon42 · Feb 18, 2005

now I am starting to doubt my decision. Although this was a great discount, after my 19" panel was a bit under $400 shipped, I am starting to wonder if I should cancel that order and safe up a bit more cash for the L90D+ panel. Neweggs prices have gone UP about $10-15 on this monitor in the last week or so, and COMPUSA still has it out of stock. This is going to be used for gaming only with some work done when required.

Which one of these do you think I would be most happy with now that prices are almost identical?
