Replacement 2005FPW on the way. What should I avoid?
I had a very nice shipment of a 2005FPW back on the 20th that worked flawlessly for a week. Exactly a week after, it just went dead one night. Was working on some word processing when screen went black. OSD wouldnt come up, no display at all despite the fact that the indicator lights were turning green when system was running and yellow when it wasn't running. Tried on 3 other computers and gave me same results.
Called Dell and got a replacement coming up this week but I'd like to know if anything I could have done led to this. I'm not forcing the monitor to do anything other than display on it's native resolution. I do have 4 speakers right next to the monitor and a small low powered fan to keep me cool at my desk. Anything I should totally avoid in order to avoid something like this?
I'd hate to lose this replacement as well for something I wasn't taking precaution to. The one that just died was almost perfect. May A01 Mexico revision that had no dead pixels and extremely minimal leakage on top right corner (which I can live with). I'd hate for my upcoming replacement to be another casualty.
Friend said it might be the inverter that failed but I've no idea what that means.
Any insights?

I recently purchased two 2405's - come to find out they both had totally different default color/contrast/brightness settings?! hopefully just a glitch w/ Dell production, I'd hate to think thats typical!
Then a few days ago one of the monitors suddenly went super dimm - at its maximum brightness setting its only abour 30% as bright as the other 2405 at 50%... I called Dell and they are sending me a new one... I wonder if they are having some quality problems with these Samsung lcd's?
Hopefully the new one will have the same default settings as the other one!

I'm able to get my monitor to reboot after unplugging the power and all the connections...
What kind of video card are you running, btw?

Now the other one I bought new (not the warranty replacement monitor) is doing the same thing.
I don't leave images on the screen for extended periods...
I also noticed a big difference between contrast/brightness of the replacement monitor vs the other original monitor I bought. Much brighter, with the same settings on OSD.
I'm not happy with the monitors at all. The LG flat panel I gave my wife for her new computer works flawlessly after 2+ years and doesn't leave image residue on the screen. For $130 less than the price of each FP1905.
I expected better from Dell.
