The 2005FPW is actually an excellent monitor, it's one of my very favorite purchases over the last couple of years. I'm running it alongside a 17" Dell LCD, which matches it perfectly in size and style, so the widescreen ratio for development purposes is a non-issue for me. It absolutely kicks ass for for using Photoshop, DW, etc...anything with a plethora of panels. And that's not even mentioning gaming; Half-Life 2, Doom3, and WoW all support the 1680 x 1050 resolution if your graphics card can handle it. I can't recommend it high enough.
That price should be about the best you can get it for, you might be able to save $20 somewhere down the line, but the lowest I've ever seen it for is around $400...
