Dell 19" 1905FP LCD vs 2005FPW 20.1" LCD
 

Hey guys! TFP is awesome. I learn something all the time from everyone. Thanks once again.

I'm looking to replace my very good 17.5" sony crt (CPD 100-VS) from the mid 90's with an LCD to reduce eye strain, save power, and all that good stuff. Mainly for ergonomics.

I also have a tv that make a high pitched noise when plugged in, so I wanted to have a monitor that I could use for DVDs and - least importantly - for TV to replace the 19" tv.

Orrigianlly, I was looking for an LCD 19" or larger with a tv tuner built-in, but these deals are too hot to pass up.
My priorities are - (1) Computing (2) DVDs and a low (3) replacing my pain in the ass tv.

What do you think? Also, can you recomend a new video card for these with a tv tuner? Thanks

I have a NVIDA GeForce FX 5200 graphics card.


edit: I have a stereo w/ a sub as well as a dvd player (not in my PC), so i'm ok there. Another benifit will being able to get rid of the rf modulator and free up some more outlet space.

I bought a 2005fpw through a similar deal as that one and paid about 400 dollars for it, down from the 700 that it normally is. I got it today and plugged it in. And it is FUCKING SWEET!

I haven't played any games on it, but the image is crisp, I don't see any dead pixels and surfing TFP on this thing (rotated 90 degrees) is just incredibly fucking awesome.

To quote Ferris Bueller, "It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up. "
