20" Dell a good idea?

[DDay629]

Well, as you can see in the thread "New Gaming System, a few questions", I'm building myself a new computer. I have been planning on getting a 20" Dell 2005FPW, but was wondering what you guys had to say about that specific monitor. Pro's, cons, people who own it, or know people who own it, please comment.

Difference between 19" and 20" isn't much but the price is :idea: That money could be spent towards SLi, CrossFire, better video card or better gaming XMS ram. :lol:

If you ant set on a LCD go to the local collage surplus. I picked up a Dell P1130 for 50 bucks almost new hardly used.

I have it, I love it. Only con is price.

Wait, the main reason I'm gettting the 20" is so that I can plug my PS2 into it. Otherwise I would go with the 19". So is it possible to plug component video cable into the 19".

If you're building a gaming system, why do you need a PS2? Oh yeah; I think that there are adapters for that.

For the occasional game like SOCOM and other clasics. I mean, consol gaming and PC gaming are completly different.

This website will every now and again have coupons that are up to 40% off the price of the monitor. Check often and get the 20 or even the 24 when the price is right.

I have 2 X 2005FPW's attached to a GeForce 7800GT and they are really nice monitors. not that expensive, but once you tweak the settings you get a really nice picture. I would recommend it.

Yeah, I basicly stay up to date with this using Dealnews. But thanks. And yeah, the 24" is on sale for crazy things like 730 sometimes.
