Dell UltraSharp 2001FP Preview: Gaming LCDs for the Masses

Response Time
You may recall several of our previous articles touched on gray-to-gray response time as well. Although LCD specifications are measured by their black-to-white response time (and back), this is not necessarily the best measurement of how quickly your monitor can change the pixel state. Please read our LCD Introduction for a pretty good introduction on gray-to-gray response time. More information can be found by searching the threads in our forums.Aside from having comparable black-to-white response time, LG.Philips gave us quite a bit of documentation to support the claims that gray-to-gray response time on the 2001FP LCD is also quite good.

Notice that on VA displays, the gray-to-gray response time can be well over 50ms.

I thought it was a good review also.I would like to hear how this one compares with Planar's PL201M as both have similar capabilities and price.

it was a good review BUT i would have liked to hear something about how it compares to its predicessor, the 2000FP... that is what i use with a 9800Pro and i think it is outstanding...TwYsTeD - Friday, November 14, 2003 - link
I am also curious as to how a fast paced game like UT2003 plays on it.ShoNuff - Thursday, November 13, 2003 - link
It appears that both the NEC 2080UX+ and the Dell 2001FP will be released in December :(Hopefully the NEC will be priced competitively with the Dell as to offer end users a choice in monitors.
I would be really surprised if Samsung and Sony are not going to release a comparable LCD using the Philips panel in December as well.
Any of you monitor gurus have any information on additional offering using the Philips panel please share it.

The bulge near the end of the video cable is not an insulator. It is a magnet designed to reduce interference.http://computer.howstuffworks.com/question352.htm

Does anyone know how the Apple Cinema Displays compare? I know their response time isn't as fast, but I'm not a gamer so that doesn't bother me. I know ACD's get rave reviews for color reproduction and viewing angle. Can they keep up with the 2001FP?BTW, thanks miomao for clarifying that the NEC 2080UX+ has the same panel of the Dell 2001FP.

Could you possibly find out just exactly what video cards support 1600x1200 DVI? When I was helping a friend buy a computer, I swear I read somewhere that the 9700 Pro didn't do more than 1280x1024.FirstCitizenLynette - Wednesday, November 12, 2003 - link
Could you please tell me what a game looks like (Unreal Tournament 2003 or anything) with max AF and AA, and as many details on a possible, on this monitor?Very nice review by the way.
Thanks!

Not the usual 2080UX but the 2080UX+ "PLUS" use this 16ms panel.Surely it have more features but higher price than Dell.
I've read that Philips will make the 200P4 model.
I hope AnandTech will make also a LG L1910B review with 19'' S-IPS panel... ;)

So is the NEC 2080UX out now? What does it retail for?Is anybody else using the Philips S-IPS-Panel?
