I ordered one on Wednesday and is showed up 3 days later. I'm freaking ecstatic about this monitor -- no dead pixels, no backlight bleeding -- it's as close to perfect as you can probably get!

call them and askLancaster said:Okay, so if I buy one on ebay, there's definitely no worries about being able to send it back to Dell for replacements? There's some pretty good deals right now, and as long as Dell doesn't mind that I purchased it on ebay then it sounds like the way to go.
There's a few rev A02 models on there which are a good price. I'm hoping to order one soon, but I'm just wondering about Dell and how they'd deal with me on any returns, etc.

Xiro said:My new 2005fpw came in the mail yesterday It has backlight issues in the corners but whats worse is it looks like something is pushing on the screen from behind causing a crease in the lcd about 5inchs long starting from the bottom middle and going towards the upper left. Emailed Dell about a replacement
Revision date is Nov2005 btw.
TypeE1ite said:ok since many of you have the 2005fpw am i the only one who stares at these things and notices the terrbile left side of the screens where there is about a 5 inch section of wavy lines. It is sometimes not noticeable on certain backgrounds but if you have counterstrike when you first load counterstrike and search for servers it is outstandingly noticeable otherwise it is semi faint. Anyway I tried 3 times to get one without it any of you guys have the same problems with yours. Oh and yeah I tried a different video card and got the same issue.

StanleyParker said:Well, the knocking on wood didn't work. I thought the backlight bleeding went away for a bit, but now it's back. And it is very noticeable in a dark room with a black background on the screen. I called Dell, and they're sending me a new one. It's too bad they continue to make screens with this type of problem. You would have thought they would have learned from the previous revisions about this problem.
Rev 03 - November 2005 - Assembled in Mexico (maybe they were all drunk in Cancun when these monitors were put together, and didn't notice any backlight bleeding).
The month of assembly should be on the back of the panel near the revision number.jbgroup1 said:I got my 2005fpw monitor yesterday (01-10) that I bought on eBay. After setting it up and running for an hour as suggested I encounterd no dead or stuck pixels (my biggest worry) or the backlighting problem that everyone had been talking about. With the room dark I can see some light in the corners but it is very little. I have the revision A02 but I couldn't see the month of manufacture. I am very happy with my purchase and feel lucky that I all (2) of the LCD monitors that I have bought had no dead pixels. (My first LCD monitor had one stuck red pixel in the corner--Mfg. Sceptre)

Yea, the same thing is happening to me. I wonder if this a problem that spans across all of the revisions. I have an rev. A03 Nov. 2005 monitor.Fenix793 said:I just noticed the same thing today...weird
I think i just got away with that actually...call them and ask of anything outstanding on your account...StanleyParker said:For those of you ordered another monitor due to backlight bleeding, dead pixels, or whatever else, when did you return your other monitor. I received my new monitors over 10 days ago now, and Dell still has not called me about the old one. I feel like they have forgotten about it totally. Mmmm....
