Best LCD Flat Panel Monitor

[Not Bman]

Hey, I haven't been around lately. Been busy with school and things. I am looking to get a nice new computer, with those amazing LCD monitors. I was wondering what you guys think is the best. Best in quality, price, color, etc all that stuff. I myself heard alittle about NEC, and Viewsonic. I think you guys might no better.....?

Thanks

This!

Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW:
- Size: 20.1" viewable
- Dot pitch (lower = better): 0.255 mm pixel pitch
- Max/Native Res: 1680x1050
- Brightness (higher = better): 300 cd/m2
- Contrast Ratio (higher = better): 600:1

Of course, it depends on the size you're looking for and your budget.

Oh yea, I forgot to mention I was looking for a 20" or larger one. Thank god to put that. Yea I was looking at this, and I do like Dell. I couldn't find any real reviews on it. Is this there newest LCD Monitor? I might be setting up a dual monitor with the LCD monitor I get, so yea.

Is this the exact same monitor here?

 

[NetRyder]

Yeah, this is their newest, so you might not find any professional reviews yet, but it's a step up from the 2001FP which has been around for a while and has proven to be a solid, high-quality display. The 2005FPW is also 16:10 (widescreen) as compared to the 2001FP which is regular 4:3.

There are a couple of user reviews on Neowin though. Here's a review of the 2001FP, and here's one of the 2005FPW.

Edit:

Is this the exact same monitor here?

Yeah, that's the one.

I checked out all the details about this monitor, Wow it's a amazing, and nice looking! It's not that much, well not as much as I thought it would be. So, I am assuming you have one right? Any problems with it of any sort?

No, I actually don't have one myself (I use a notebook), but I've seen the 2005FPW with my eyes, and I can honestly say, the picture quality is superb.
Not sure if there are any known problems with the display (the one I saw didn't have any defects). You might want to search around, but it seems to be fine from user-reviews that I've read so far.

Another thing, on the dell website, one of the pictures show a thing underneath the monitor. I was wondering what it was. Do you know what it is?

here...

 

[Not Bman]

I am probably going to be looking around and such. I'll let you know if and when I get them. I'll make my own review on it! Thanks

Oh, that's an optional add-on. It's the AS500 sound bar...a set of speakers that you can mount to the bottom of the display basically.

Yeah, look around, make comparisons etc. A review at the end would be awesome.

You want any dispalay using the same Panel as either the DELl 2001FP or the DELL 2005FPW, as long as its using the same panel you can get away with not ordering from dell.

Eitherway they are awesome screens and as soon as I have £1200 I'm ordering 2.

 

[Not Bman]

I am not sure what you mean there? I want the same display? explain...

The stats on the dell are as good or better than the apple cinemadisplay in every category and goes for quite a bit less.

Very nice monitor Indeed but personally I would rather have TWO LG 17" monitors.

You order one and have a friend order another. Great specs for such a low cost monitor.

Personally I have a Planar 1600x1200 monitor 400:1 contrast ratio at roughly 20ms but hey I bought mine nearly a year ago!


Hannibal forever!!

The 2005FPW display is manufactured by LG, by the way.
