I have 1905FP monitor at home and have no problem with brightness. I think you should leave it at factory setting. I can guess that you are very use to the old LCD 1901FP monitor, you have been using at work. i think you will take time to get use to the Dell 1905FP monitor.
Dell use third party companies to make monitors. Both 19inch monitors are made by Lite On Technology Corp, the Dell 1905FP has new technology and design, wheres the old 1901FP is an old design and no longer made.
To answer your question on wanrranty, it under your name, once you sell the 19inch monitor to someone else, the warranty becomes viod.
I think you can exchange Dell monitors but most or all of Dell monitors are bright.
Here is a website www.hardforum.com there are people who write there experance on monitors just go to the word "Display" and look for Dell monitors this will giver you the in formaion. If you are under the 21 day period you can exchange it or get a refund and look for a another monitor, Viewsonic LCD monitors are good, you can read the reviews or go to the computer shop.
Hi Mike, thanks for the response. I'll have a look at that forum you linked.
As for the brightness. Well, on the 1901FPs at work, black looks like black. Not dark purple.
A gradient from black to white goes smoothly. On my 1905FP, a gradient from black to white goes black, black, black, light grey and then white.
from camera (rubbish, but shows the point): http://www.ccir.ed.ac.uk/~nanderso/TFT_002.jpg
This makes it totally unnacceptable for the graphics work I do.
I'm hoping that a transfer of ownership should be possible. I'll call DELL tonight with my S/N and see if something is possible. I could send it back under the online purchasing laws, but it's not really fair on the retailer.
I just can't understand why the 1901FP was finely balanced (and I say this in comparison to a number of well calibrated CRTs that I have used, iiyama and sony), but the 1905FP (at least, my 1905FP) has bad color representation and poor value ramps.
I was wondering if you resolved the problems you were seeing with your 1905 or not?
My "issues" are similar to yours, but by going into the "color settings" menu and canking down all three R/G/B guns to about 70% I was able to get my monitor to behave gracefully.... I think ;-)
