I'm not holding anything against the LCD division, or that monitor, which would be quite nice to have.  It's just quite a bit out of my budget, as the money I have has to go to all components of a computer, not just the monitor

I must admit, despite my ~$600 dollar investment on my 20'' wide Dell display... I still think the Apple Studio display is quite superior.

The blacks on my Dell is not as dark as the Apple's. There are hints of backlight bleeding on the corners of my screen, which gets annoying when watching dark scenes in movies.

On the flipside, Dell has a much brighter screen and I like its rotation feature. If I get a second one Dell display, I can rotate the 2nd one to a portrait alignment.

All in all I'm happy with the Dell for its price and size ratio. And I also enjoy my newly liberated deskspace.

Yeah, the backlight bleeding was a not-uncommon issue on the 2005FPW. The panel was made (IIRC) by LG; Dell switched to a Samsung panel in the 24" display, which has shown none of the abberations the 20" did.

That said, I've read numerous accounts that state that you can gently massage the backlight bleed out of the screen. Worth a try at least.
