Pros: Hardly any glare! Little image distortion, great resolution, no image change w/ movement, inexpensive
Cons: Hard to clean, brightness may prematurely fade, finicky USB

I have to be one the luckiest web developers alive - we just got a SECOND of these babies for work as dual monitors! I was happy as a purring kitten when we had just one. I have a college degree background in imaging and photography technology so a good ...

Pros: Everything!!!
Cons: None

I just received my 2001fp and all can say is WOW!!! Before I bought it I read great reviews and some not so great. I'm very picky about picture quality. The monitor the 2001fp replaced was a two year old 22" Sony Trinitron, and I can't believe the ...

Pros: A good display can last for years, and this is a really good display.
Cons: Stupid cable holder at the back of the display.

It is hard to make a commitment to buying a pricey 20" LCD display without psyching yourself up to love it. As a result, there are a lot of glowing reviews here. This one won't be much different. I got a 17" flat panel at work a couple of months ...

Pros: bright, very large screen, small bevel. easy menu. good colors. usb ports on frame
Cons: cant think of any...

I just picked up two of these units to replace 2 17" dell lcds and couldn't be happier. I paid $650 average each with coupons. the 1600X1200 screen is amazingly sharp and no dead pixels on either unit which was great. i have 8 lcds with 2 17's, 2 ...

Pros: Resolution, screen size, features, response time.
Cons: No true black.

After my trusty and well worn Viewsonic 19" CRT started to show signs of dying, I decided it was time to upgrade and go for an LCD panel display. Immediately, I was disappointed with the specifications of most of the displays on the market. Most 19" ...

Pros: Resolution, design, multiple inputs, price (relative), 16 ms refresh rate!
Cons: Brightness a little too high, no video adjustment via digital connection

I ordered this monitor directly from Dell. I placed the order an a Monday and had the package at home Thursday morning. I must say that I read a lot about this monitor before purchasing it. I am very pleased with what I have seen so far. ...

Pros: Nice, large LCD for the price.
Cons: No cons that would keep me from buying or using it.

I had avoided purchasing an LCD for a long time, mostly because I get could a high quality 21" CRT for the same price as a 14" lcd, which had poorer viewing angles and response time. Since the monitor is the part you look at every second while using ...

Pros: no idea ... I can't turn the monitor on without the ac adapter
Cons: Missing components. Worst customer service experience of my life. No documentation in box.

Recommended: I ordered a refurbished Dell Ultrasharp from Dell's outlet. They included a standard 120v computer power cord in the box (the kind that connects most computers to an electrical outlet) but unfortunately the power port on the screen is a ...

Pros: Small, space saving USB Hub is very handy Display looks brilliant Very little glare
Cons: Available add-on sound panel not well publicized.

After contemplating its price tag for a few months, and watching the specials dell periodically offers, I picked up this beauty for 25% off. It creates a lot of free space on my desk, which I love. I was a bit nervous about buying this, mostly ...

Pros: Excellent image quality. Vibrant colors. Solid construction. Great 30 day satisfaction guarantee.
Cons: Big price tag.

I just got my new baby today and it is superb. I have never before seen an LCD with such quality of picture and construction. Prior to this monitor I had a 19" Dell CRT Trinitron. Although I may have lost a bit of sharpness on some things I think that ...

Pros: Massive display, wonderful response time, great looks...a whole lot of monitor, in short
Cons: Lack of true black, Mild screendoor effect, edgelighting issues, hefty pricetag

In a time and age where performance is everything (at least to those who care about such things), Dell has once again shown their ability to produce an industry leading product at a relatively reasonable price. They have succeeded in delivering to we ...

Pros: 20.1" screen, multiple inputs, performance, price
Cons: price, energy use, 1600x1200 resolution for best picture and text quality, lack true black

The Dell UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1 inch LCD monitor... what can I say? With The Lord of the Rings showing the third part of the trilogy this winter, it's appropriate to call my latest tech acquisition my precious... at least for now! The 2001FP ...

Pros: Price, Picture, Response rate, 1600x1200 resolution, multiple inputs. USB 2 hub. Stand, and Size.
Cons: Screen door effect, Not true 32 bit color,

I want all to know that each person has different eyes/vision and each person experiences LCD monitors differently, below is my experience, which is purely subjective. Some people do not like what they see, when they watch an LCD monitor in motion. Glad ...

Pros: Pivot is the feature I was most interested in. The physical pivot works great.
Cons: Dell didn't provide any hints (that I can find) for getting the graphics to rotate.

I have the monitor and I think it looks and works great.
I just wanted to add a word about the pivot (90 degree rotation) on the 2001FP.

For this to work out of the box, your video/graphics card must support pivot capability (it must provide the mode 1200x1600 as well as the standard 1600x1200 resolution).

My graphics card (an old ATI Rage Fury Pro 128) does not handle this, but I was able to use the Pivot Pro software from Portrait Displays. They have a free 30 day trial download:

I've only been using this s/w a short while, but it seems to work nicely.

On the 2001FP, as far as I can tell, there is no automatic switch to change the video mode from portrait to landscape. I have to switch the graphic mode myself (e.g. via an icon on the system tray for Pivot Pro, or via your graphics card setup controls).

I've never used a pivot monitor before, but I like the engineering of the Dell stand and the smooth/solid rotation of the pivot on the 2001FP.

Pros: Sharp, vivid colors. Sharp text and lines. Nice and bright.
Cons: Response time could be better.

I have been a big fan of Samsung, Viewsonic and Sony monitors for a very long time because of the superior quality of them. So, my girlfriend bought me this flat panel Dell LCD monitor for Christmas to replace my old Samsung CRT monitor. I played games, looked photos and played with some of the settings. I gave it the good once over because I wanted to see how it compared to my old CRT. This monitor is bright, with very vivid, deep colors, sharp text and nice contrast. Nice high resolution and graphics looks amazing. Response time could be a little quicker (it's 8ms) and with fast moving video and games you can sometimes see very slight lag. Still looks awesome though!
