2001FP still the best?

[asofel]

I was looking at slickdeals and found a deal for the 1905 dell. When reading its review anandtech had this to say about the 2001FP:

The Dell 2001FP has been one of the most fantastic displays that we ever had the pleasure of working with; it sports excellent resolution, great user interface, additional inputs and an unbeatable price. However, like all things in the computer industry, a lot can change in a year. Even though the 2001FP was an exceptionally bright monitor for a flat panel capable of 1600x1200 resolutions, newer Samsung, LG.Philips LCD and AUO panels all sport better specifications and the OEMs have started to implement these newer panels.

The 2001 seems to be standard here for multi-tabling (although I know of others who do go their own way). Have other solutions been found to be better than the 2001? Any new models coming out that will be the new standard? I've been considering getting a 2001 but would want to wait if its not going to reign king for a while longer.

I'm not sure it was ever considered the best, just the best 'value'.

it's the cheapest 1600x1200 lcd out there, and everyone loves it. that doesn't mean other monitors aren't better.

What he said.

I love mine and will not hesitate to buy another one soon.

Probably the best 4-tabling value LCD. It's a pretty old LCD nowadays, and it's obviously topped by some of the newer LCDs out on the market. However it's hard to beat a $400 price tag.

Quadruple the price and you start seeing some better lcds.

Where do you see the $400 price? I'd buy one right now at that price. The lowest I can find is around $560.

A few years ago it was really cutting edge technology wise but now there are tons of better products out there but in terms of price to value it's probably still the best. The reason why I bought the thing last year was that it was the best gaming LCD under 700 bucks.

i just got mine from Ebay 2 days ago for $529 shipped.

you have to be patient and check out fatwallet.com or slickdeals.net often. there will often be stackable coupons and % off deals and you can get the price quite low. i got my last one for 368.28 by stacking a bunch of coupon codes and getting 10% off for opening a dell preferred account and getting 3% back by linking to dell through fatwallet. I was also lucky enough to have it shipped to a state that dell doesnt levy sales tax for.
