Hi Jeffry, Keep in mind that the less expensive one is the FPW, which has the widescreen aspect ratio. I got the 20.1" FP (it was also $4xx at the time). I steered clear of the widescreen because I didn't want to develop interfaces on a non-standard aspect ratio / resolution. It may have been a non-issue, but being that both monitors are 20.1" diagonal, the widescreen didn't really seem more useful. The 20.1" FP is a great monitor. It's great for design, coding, gaming, video, etc... Hardcore graphic designers or gamers might turn their nose up at it (I saw a handful of relatively picky reviews - "it didn't smell like a good monitor"), but it does everything I need.
Someone was telling me that the 24" widescreen is really great. Was that Raymond? Anyway, it is a pretty good deal - but Ive noticed that this particular model is on sale quite often. That makes me a little suspicious. *shrug* Eric Jeffry Houser wrote: ><http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?TabPage=overview&sku=20053YR&c=us&l=en&cs=19&page=external> > > > > I haven't been keeping watch on monitor prices, but is this an incredibly >good deal? $434.25 for a Flat Panel monitor. > > A similar monitor goes for much more than $200 more: > > > <http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?TabPage=techspecs&sku=20013YR&c=us&l=en&cs=19&page=external> > > > > I don't see anywhere that states this is a sale, but is it?
