Well I have a 2005fpw and I love it, just recently got a L90D+ too. I didnt realize that I would not be able to use them together on 1 pc due to the wide res of the fpw. Should I lose the 2005fpw to gain another Hyundai? Or vice versa?
 
Huh?!? are you sure you cant use them togther? Because i'm almost sure you can with nvidia.

I never saw a dell 2005fpw, but I have the l90d+, so I'd like to know how they compare (in your oppinion), not considering the aspect ratio/price/screen size diffeference, wich one is better in these individual areas: text quality (sharp/easy to read), photographs/movies quality (colour/image), games quality (response time/image) ? Is it a big diference?

You know thats a tough question. These are my first LCD purchases after having crappy 3rd hand CRT's :) But I did lots of reading and I wanted these two.

I can tell you that out of all the horror stories about the 2005fpw I was skeptical. But I guess I was blessed with a real good one b/c its beautiful. No issues what so ever, except it is very bright. My brightness level is down all the way, still nice and bright.
Play all the newest games with my 7800GT on it and its amazing. I have a new found love for the widescreen aspect. The tilt thing is no good IMO.

The L90D+ you cant say much more than all the reviews say. Look wise it is so thin and the trim around it is also thin, making it look like a brilliant picture frame. And 2 would sit real nice together :)

But its like giving a child away :p Just cant pick which one ;)
 
I don't have experience with 2 lcd setup, but I see 2 options:

1. You decide to face the edge of the 2 lcds.
The only advantage I see in this is to try to use the 2 lcds at the same time, as 1 big screen. It would be important to have the equal screens.
You can't put a window right in front of you, the lcd edges are there.
Can you see all this screen space at the same time ?

2. You decide to put one in front of you and the other is to the side.
You either look at front or at side at a time.
It's not important if you have diferent screens.

Personally I would use option 2 with dell in front and the l90d+ at right.
I would setup the l90d+ to run computer stats (like cpu load, temperatures, internet bandwith), messenger, e-mail and text, while I would be playing BF2 in the dell :)
(While not playing, I would have email and text in the dell, but keep the stats and messenger in the l90d+)
If I did cad or render, I would work in the dell and had the image render preview in the l90d+.
If I played flight sim, I would have the game in the dell and an outside camera vision on the l90d+.

If money is not an issue, if you have the desk space, if you need all that screen size, and if the second dell isn't to far to the right out of vision, 2 dell's are the aesthetic option. Do you need them? Also they could be used in option 1: "facing the lcds edges".

I would say it depends on the use you are going to give to a 2 lcd setup and wich one you like better individually.
After seeing the dell pictures and size, and if your happy with it's image quality, i would keep it, and the question should be should i keep the l90d+ or get another dell.
If for some reason the l90d+ image quality/screen ratio is better i would get 2 l90d+'s.

These pics aren't going to help :)

BTW, you should be able to use the dell and the l90d+ without a problem.
