I'm in the market for a wide screen tft and it seems that Dell are widely recommended around the net.

My budget is around £400 (possible stretch to £500) so thats the 2005FPW.

Thing is I'm aware of the upcoming refresh to Dells line and I'm in two minds what to do.

On the one hand the current price of the 2005 is good (due of course to their upgrade soon no doubt) plus the fact that as the monitors are at the end of their cycle the tech should be very mature.

On the other though is that soon a new update will be out sporting improved specs no doubt but back to the old prices.

So does anyone here have any advice for me? Should I take the plunge now or wait? :confused:
 
Thanks for the head up Baddass. I didn't think the refresh was so soon. How long after they announce it do you think the monitors will be available?

sablabra, thanks for the NEC suggestion. I checked it out and specs and performance wise it seems cool. However I really don't like the design of it unfortunately. It looks like its got a big tube of marshmallow for a frame! ;)
