Dell 2005FPW needs more manufacturing quality control, specifically the backlight
Started Jul 22, 2005
Strengths: Its wide-aspect display(16x10) is definitely the future of display, plus universal flexible adjustments, USB hub, simply cable management, elegant design. competitive pricing. Minimum dead pixels.
Weaknesses: At least the one I received had severe backlight leakage at all 4 corners almost like 4 spot lights. This problem doesn't seem to be uncommon for Dell 2005FPW based on other reviews.
I was very pleased with all its features/specs and price ($475), but I was very disappointed with the workmanship of this Dell LCD and had to return it. The 4 spotlight-like corners around the LCD screen (and pitch dark in the center) make it impossible to be comfortable to work in front of. They are so bright when in the blank screen saver mode or watching wide-screen movies, you can use it almost as a reading light. If you gently press the corners, the pressure will slightly seal the leakage a bit, therefore the lights around the screen dim down a bit. I already owned a few 19-inch LCD (BenQ and Princeton), none of them have such a "flimsy" problem. I am giving Dell the benefit of the doubt, I ordered a different LCD - Dell 2405FPW, and waiting for its arrival and quality check.
