Pixel pitch

For some reason this information is missing from Specifications page on Dell website.

Pixel pitch: 0.258 mm

This is pretty cool as the pixel size is smaller than on any 17" LCD monitor. It means that the picture, even it is quite larger, is crisper than on regular 17" LCD.

2005FP vs. 2005FPW

2005-03-16T10:02:00.000-08:00

Dell website and other information sources refer to this monitor as Dell UltraSharp 2005FP. However, sometimes they use model number 2005FPW. At the same time most 3rd party sources on the web call it 2005FPW. Both model numbers apparently describe the same LCD display.
