I'm thinking about ordering a 2005FPW since my 25% off coupon expires today. I would like to at least try it out and see if I like the monitor and if it is worth keeping for the money. Could someone explain Dell's return/exchange policy on these monitors and if it would cost me anything if I did not want to keep it? Thanks in advance.
 
I really would recommend not buying the 2005fpw at this time. Dell is shipping my 3rd one to me today. If you order one now, you will get one with some degree of backlight leakage - from mild to severe. If you must use the coupon, get a 2001fp.
 
Its a crapshoot, but it seems that the units that people have recieved in the last half of December are reletivly devoid of problems.
 
Though I've already received one 2005FPW with some backlight issues I'd disagree with Mons. When it comes to all of its other attributes this is an excellent LCD (especially for the price). There is a good chance that there will be some sort of resolution to the backlight issue over the course of the next month and if you do have any issues you can always replace or return it.

If you plan to use it in an office/home office scenario I don't think you'll have any issues with it. If you want it more as a home theater (a bit laughable at 20") or to use in LAN parties where you will be in total darkness then you may not be entirely happy with it until the issue is resolved.
 
Thanks for the info, but what exactly is the return policy? Do I have a set number of days that I can return it free of charge?
