That is Dell B.S. On my 5th replacement monitor they promised to ship a monitor NOT manufactured in Nov 2004. Guess what i got - Nov 2004. Dell is a big company and like most big companies the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing.
 
So i told them i will call in a couple of months and  request a new replacement and they agreed and gave me a case number to refer to.

I know this is a dell forum, but they also sell other 20 inch monitors. Does any one have any advice? I mostly game need somthing around 16ms. This is the last time with the 2001fp. Customer service told me that the forth monitor will be thoroughly tested and also wrote a note saying zero dead pixels they are going to ship it 3 to 5 day this will give them time to test it right or is thie all B.S.?

Lee63, Can you post the manufacture date on the defective 20" LCD monitors you have recieved so far. Wanted to see if there was a pattern.

Lee63, When you get customer care just say that you have half a dozen dead pixels and you want it exchanged for a new one. They will say that they will want to transfer you to tech support to resolve the issue. Don't allow them to do that. Tell them this is not a problem tech support can resolve. Customer care can chat directly with dispatch and you will be issued a new order number for the exchange. Took me 10-15 min per exchange.

I think all the nov 2004 are defective

same situation here lee, 3rd with dead pixels.  I think I reached the final stage of trying to request a monitor that functions at a satisfactory level.
