I was able to purchase 1901FP for $529 on Dell's Small Business website. Got an email with 10% off from Dell today and when discount coupon is applied on this monitor, comes close to $468 only. Together with tax .. total is $506.
from what i've read.. the dvi cord sends the signal to the monitor as digital and the other as analog. i will be hooking mine up as digital once i receive it! :o)
I got my monitor a few days ago. Wow, the diff. bet. a 17" CRT & 19" LCD is amazing. The screen is so much more bright & BIG!! Takes some getting used to. But I love it.
BTW, what's the diff. between using the video cord & the dvi cord? Is dvi for video games? If so, I don't use them.
Now, I just hope you have a DVI connection on your video card so you can run it direct digital.
I guess I don't have the connection you mentioned because I just tried connecting the dvi cord & there didn't seem to be a proper jack that fits the connector into the back of my pc (I have a dimension 4500 system which I purchased about 6 mos. ago). I ordered it w/o monitor so they must've figured I didn't need the dvi connection. Too bad I didn't know about this then or they didn't ask me whether I wanted it.

Yup, that's right. But don't stop there. You've got to check out the special offers, discount offers and free shipping offer on the small business site. These are all separate links on the small business site.
Check out the Home/Office Dell.com site as well. Prices differ bet. the 2 sites.
Someone at the beginning of this thread gave me this link http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/category.aspx?c=us&l=en&cs=19&category_id=4009 (not sure it's still active) to the monitor at a reduced price. If I recall, you had to fill in the f1901 number in a field & it showed you which products were available. Keep looking till you find that model.
I started w. the $649 price, but then found a 25% discount offer, plus an extra $50 off for something else, plus free shipping. Final total price was $549.51. I call it 'dialing for discounts.'

Currently my systems reports a "Intel Corporation 810 Graphics Controller". The question, however, was a physical one. How does one physically rotate the monitor screen? I am told it is possible, but don't see how and don't want to break it.
First I had touble rotating the monitor physically, but figured out I was trying to rotate it the wrong way.
Second, I was able to rotate one of the monitor's image because it had the NVidia card and the rotate option was included. When I looked at my Dell Computer all I could find out about the graphics card was that it reported a "Intel Corperation 810 Graphics Controller Hub". I've not open the box, but think it may be located on the motherboard. Another adapter (my boss's) was listed as the "Intel 82815" and yet another was the "Radeon 7500 AGP(QW)". I am using the information supplied by the Adapter tab of the Advanced button of the Settings tab on the video properties button.
I'll look for the drivers on this site, but any help would be appreciated.
Well, it is not moving the monitor physically. It is a video card driver that will allow you to do this function. Not all video card drivers allow this so, I need to know what video card you have installed. Not the chipset.
When I started this thread a couple of folks responded to my query by recommending the 1901. So I ordered it and am quite content with it so far. I'm sure the model may have some problems for you & others. But you're the first poster over in this thread who's had a problem with it.
I got a 1901FP, and it ghosts terribly, colors smear, and it has a dead pixle. Hopefully its just my monitor and having them replace it will do the trick, but I get the feeling from what other people said about it in my thread a few days ago, it's just a bad monitor model. Seems like it's a downgrade from the 1900fp.

I got a stuck pixel on my once perfect screen. Is there anything you can do to fix?

How exactly does one rotate the 19" Flat Screen monitor so it changes from portrait to landscape?

natural1,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
There is a driver that will enable you to view in portait. What is the video card that is installed in your system?

What other thread are you referring to?
