I also missed out on it. Hoopefully it will be back around soon.

This monitor looks pretty sweet for that price. But I have the feeling that the ghosting will bother me.

I recently bought the 2005fpw. Got it for $397 with stackable coupons and free shipping. So far, I've played Half Life 2, Medal of Honor Pacific Assault, BF1942, and FarCry on it with no apparent ghosting. It's been an awesome monitor so far. Once you go widescreen, you'll never look back. Dell is famous for their incentives and sales. Be patient, they'll drop the price again soon, especially since they're pimping the 24" widescreen now (2405 I think).

Glad you like the 2005fpw. I like it too except for the back light problem that I described in these post.

I don't know whether such problem is only that noticeable for my particular 2005fpw. If you could, please take a look at the two pics in the 2nd post and comment on it.

Post pics to show everyone.

I think they had a revision that elminiated the backlight issue, I remember reading that somewhere, but I don't remember where.

If possible, please take a bigger picture with completely dark background.

You can download "Dead Pixel Buddy" which can set the entire screen dark. Turn off all the lights in the room and take a picture of the dark screen.

What revision should have fixed the back light problem?

Mine is rev A02, manufactured in May 2005, but still have very noticeable back light problems (three big area).
