I think the specs say 12ms, but it is really 16ms. But this happens all over
the place...you think those 8ms panels are really 8ms? Hah!
It actually is among the lowest access times for non-overdriven
S-IPS/MVA/PVA panels. To get much lower, you have to go to TN+ (yuck), or
start to overdrive (a la 2405FPW).
I think the 2007 is the same panel, just with HDCP support and a new stand.

oh boy I thought it was lower than that, around 10ms. hmm, that may kill
the deal for me.
Haven't seen any info on the 2007, I wonder what the specs are on that
one?

The 2005FPW is a nice S-IPS panel manufactured by LG. However, it is
essentially a 16ms panel, so you may notice some ghosting. Ghosting seems
to be more a personal perception issue than anything else...some people
pick up on it while others will not, even on the same panel.
I'd say buy it anyway. You have a 21-day total satisfaction guarantee
from Dell. If you don't like it, return it--and you get every penny back,
including return shipping (unless that's changed recently).
Keep in mind that the 2007FPW was just released. Same size, but supports
HDCP for HD content in Windows Vista. One of very select few displays
that support HDCP at this point.

I've been in the market for a great flat panel gaming monitor and with
my eventual upgrade to a 7900GT SLI system I need a monitor that can
take advantage of the GPUs. The Dell 2005FPW is now reduced from $529
to $397 with Dell's Small Business discount code, and I'm thinking of
jumping on this thing.
Opinions?
