I just returned the Ultrasharp 1905FP I purchased about 2 weeks ago when Spoofee had a $279 deal on it. Prices keep falling! It's awesome monitor, but a bit blurry at high-speeds for my taste. I'm gonna get a complete computer set once they come with the free 19" deal again.

A note of caution: 2005FPW has a non-standard 16:10 aspect ratio along with non-standard native resolution of 1680x1050. Many video cards don't suppor this resolution. So you might end up with streched or compressed desktop (looks nasty). Plus this monitor is not as big as you think (it's long... and not high in screen size... looks smaller than 1905fp side-by-side!).

Wouldn't be suprising if eventually the price of 1905fp goes down to $230 or even $199 in the next few months. Good times.

Eeeehhh

It's 16:9 ratio, not 16:10. And the monitor is very big for movies that have wide aspects, because the black bars on the top and the bottom will be smaller and the viewing area will be wider. Still not recommended if you have a crappy video card, but it will not get stretched or compressed because you can still use the regular aspects by changing the monitor's OSD. It'll just have two black bars on the side of the monitor.
I know because I bought it good stuff.

You got it wrong. Actually, it is 16:10. The standard wide-screens are 16:9. And as I mentioned, this is non-standard (i.e. 16:10). And Dell says this: "To optimize this monitor's performance, your system must be able to support WSXGA+ resolution (1680 x 1050)." 1680:1050 is actually 16:10. Most cards don't support this ratio. They do, however, support 16:9 most of the time.

And the monitor isn't really very big. If you look at the screen size, even though it is wide, it's still 20", which means it's not high enough... so you get a 'slit-window' effect. And if you do in-fact change it to regular aspect, you get a viewable area just a bit smaller than a 17" on 2005FPW!! Wide-screens make better sense if they're at least as high (screen-wise) as normal screens. Meaning, a 24" widescreen is actually as high as a 20" normal, but much wider. 20" widescreen is as high as 17".
