I know the revision took care of banding on the Dell when running under DVI, but how about VGA? Does it still band there or not? I want to use the Dell with my Xbox 360 via VGA, but not if the banding is still a problem.
thanks.
I didn't take these, but a guy over in the Dell forums did.
here is FEAR running on his new Dell 2007. This ought to finally answer the question about whether this banding matters in real-world situations. In a word: YES it does.

I thought these coupons might help people thinking about this monitor. It also helps that Dell has free shipping right now, so the monitor is $529 - $60 - $20 = $449 shipped (with tax depending on where you live).
Coupon codes (combine both of them):
$20 off $150 Electronics & Accessories...
I'm trying to enter the $60 off Dell coupon code and it isn't working. I've got the monitor in my cart, I plug in the coupon code and hit apply, the page re-loads, but the discount is nowhere to be seen. Has anyone successfully used this coupon? (Code: WVL6T6W?5JTKWJ )
"The good: Excellent image quality; includes composite and S-Video inputs; HDTV-compatible wide screen; excellent ergonomics; attractive price.
The bad: Onscreen menu is difficult to navigate; base is slightly unstable while adjusting.
The bottom line: The Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP, a...
Eternalvendetta -- I saw a thread where you mentioned you're running your Xbox 360 through a VD-Z3 transcoder and then into your Gateway FPD2185W.
How is that working for you? I'm considering doing the same, but I've had trouble getting 1280x720 to work on the Gateway (the screen goes green)...
Just got a Gateway FPD2185W this weekend. Whenever I try to run things at 1280x720, I get a green screen. The image is still there, but it's completely a green hue.
Anyone else have the same problem? I'm using a Radeon 9800 Pro video card.
Just got a Gateway FPD2185w and I noticed it has a single blue pixel in the screen (I assume this is a dead one?)
Is that enough to exchange it, or am I likely to get a replacement with perhaps even more dead pixels?
I keep seeing this mentioned and it's a major concern because I'd like to use component to hook it up to my Xbox 360 (versus the VGA cable which washes out colors).
thanks in advance.
I went looking for it at Fry's and they told me it's discontinued. Some Circuit City's still have them if you're interested. Very nice widescreen 21" monitor.
Anybody have a widescreen LCD that will allow you to super over-saturate your R,G,B levels?
I ask because I just got a Viewsonic VX2025wm which has to go back because it doesn't work well with the Xbox 360. It's not really the monitor's fault, but rather the 360's VGA cable which severely...
Guess NewEgg is having a sale...
They also have the VX2025 wm for $419.

"Yes, we know the consumer electronics industry wants us all to upgrade our TVs to brand spanking new LCD jobs - with HDTV dangled before us as bait - but some of us prefer the better picture quality, greater screen longevity and, frankly, lower price benefits of good old CRT technology.

It's a portable Dolby Headphone 5.1 adaptor that JVC's own press release said was released to major retailers on March 7, yet I can't find it anywhere (online or regular store).
JVC even mentions it right on the front of their website:

Is anyone here running an Xbox 360 through a Dell 2005FPW via the VGA cable?
Are you getting the infamous color "wash out" effect and can you compensate for it?
I have the problem on a CRT, but luckily if I max my color level to 100 and lower my brightness to 0 I can compensate. I've heard...
Does such a beast exist? Is the backlight bleeding really that widespread?
(I remember hearing all the stories of defective Xbox 360s, yet mine works fine, so maybe the 2005FPW situation is the same?)
Okay, I've been surfing this forum and others trying to get a handle on the best LCD widescreen monitor for use with my XBox 360 and my PC. All I've got for my trouble is a very tired and confused brain. It seemed like the Dell 2405 was a good choice, but now there's all this talk of colors...
