Dell 2001FP monitor purchase.

Post by Glocksman »

I just ordered the Dell 2001FP 20 inch flat panel for $614 shipped. From the opinions I've read at Ars, the consensus is that for the money, it's a steal despite a 'screen door' effect (my laptop has this as well and it doesn't bother me) and a marginal refresh rate for gaming.

My only concern is getting one with dead pixels, but Dell has a 30 day return policy and I'll just return the SOB and keep on using my Viewsonic P95f+ CRT if there are dead pixels, but not enough to qualify for replacement under warranty.

I'll be driving it with an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro, so I do have a DVI connection.

Anyone here have experience with the monitor?

Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier

No, but the Ars Hive Mind says it is good and who am I to disagree? ;)
