2001FP still monitor of choice?

[Subfallen]

I'm finally getting a decent computer with some decent displays, and I need to know if dual 2001FP's is still the way to go?

yes no other way about it. you could get the $900 model if you wanted to but its unpractical. 1900x1200 24" widescreen.

Yea, the Dell 2001fp has been the Ipod of the 20" flat panel world. Better and cheaper than the competition.

Dell on a whole has really become the Walmart of computing. At one point, the least expensive route to a desktop computer was to build it yourself, but Dell changed that.

Would spending the extra $500 to get a built-in dual set up like the TigerVista Duo 20S here be worth it?

if you are talking about the 2405fpw it was recently on sale with an inspiron for $1100, if you turned the pc on ebay the monitor came out to 500-600. So there are specials. I have one 2001fp now but my next monitor will probably be this one.

if you want the monitor stand like that get the 2 2001fps and buy the stand yourself.

heres a site that sells it for like 250:

they are all over the place. search google for lcd monitor stand or dual lcd monitor stand.

I plan to get one at the end of the month when Dell's quarter ends and there might be some really good deals. Right now you can get one for $467.60 shipped, which is the best deal I've seen recently, and is the same as the deal you could get last week.

Not to go too far off on a tangent, but isn't the IPOD more expensive than nearly every one of the competitors? I know that I bought a 40 GB Nomad a few years back for $225 and at that time IPODs with 40 GB were over $400.

Thx TStone and MisterW for your help, much appreciated.
