User Reviews for Dell UltraSharp1905fp

    Duration of ownership: 8 Months

    Strengths: Good size, small frame surrounding picture and USB ports to plug in.

    Weaknesses: None, thus far.

    Overall Evaluation: I went to this 19" Dell monitor after using a 17" for a couple of months that came with my Dell computer. I set the resolution to the max at 1280x1024 and the pictures and games I use are excellant quality. I also like that it has usb ports that I can use because I have used all of the available ones on my computer. M.M.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Bright, clear, and color-accurate. Saves a HUGE amount of desk space, and the cords are neatly stowable.

    Weaknesses: REALLY BRIGHT - hard to dim down enough for night work.

    Overall Evaluation: I suffered with a 19" CRT for a long time - it was a really nice monitor, but it took the entire desk. I did extensive research on a flat panel display, and settled on this one. I expected to make a sacrifice or two to get my desk back, but this display is at least as good as my old CRT. There is a (very little) bit of "ghosting" when things are moving fast on the screen, but it's barely worth mentioning. Thanks, DELL, you got something right!!
