I'm also looking at this 2001FP.. Do Dell do a pixel check if you
pay extra or is it pot luck.? Is there any advantage buying from
Dell than Aria ? I'd rather play a little extra to know the screen is 100%.

Thanks.

So you can get one from Aria with the dead pixel check for about the
same price as from Dell without the check.

I bought a 2001FP from Dell nearly a year ago - super monitor. Haven't
found any dead pixels yet. Came with 3yr next day replacement
warranty.

That's the one I have and it's excellent for my purposes, I'm not a
game player though, I run Win2k and Linux on it.

Similar specs to the 20-inch Philips that I bought recently at a
similar price.

Well I have one today, and it arrived at 8pm, I wasn't expecting it
for another week, but it came early, and I am not complaining.

First impressions a very easy to set up both mechanically and
electronically. I like the idea of having 2 USB2 ports available on
the side of the monitor. Next it has NO dead pixels, and I have to
say looks really smart, and I am very pleased with it. In the end I
ordered it direct from Dell.

One problem though, my Nebula digital TV card does not work with it -
I get the error message "cannot attach to hardware display surface"
:-(. Must try and sort this one out.
