    Features  ?  Which is one reason for the price difference.  Second, you do know  the 2005 is a WIDE angle monitor don't you  ?

    actually right now 2001fp is more expensive than the better 2005fpw
     
    I have two outlets from my video card.  I only have a Radeon 9600.  I am still using analog.  Will it work with these monitors?  I think one of the outlets is DB and one is DV.

    Yes.  Someday you will get a digital card and its nice to have a monitor that will accept either one of them

    OK I brought the 2005fpw.  It has an irregular shape speck inside the screen.  Calling 800 number was a waste of my time.
