If you are looking to get a new monitor these days, the only reason I can think of getting a 4:3 ratio monitor over a widescreen is because you need a high native resolution such as 1600x1200 on a 19" screen. To get a 1920x1200 native widescreen resolution , you normally need to purchase a 24-inch screen minimum. But remember that you need some pretty beefy hardware to run games at that kind of resolution.

As for 4:3 pictures on a 16:10 (as killmoms mentioned, this is the widescreen ratio used for computer monitors) they almost all have options to prevent the picture from being stretched. Similar to how to black bars are present on top and bottom of a widescreen picture on a 4:3 monitor, a 16:10 monitor is able to put black bars to the left and right of a 4:3 picture to preserve screen ratio. But being that everything is being moved from 4:3 to a 16:9 or 16:10 screen ratio, I would not buy a non-widescreen monitor at this point.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Dell Small Business shipped both of my 2007WFPs via DHL. Buy them though Dell Small Business. It seems this departments prefers using DHL over UPS.

I got mine in 2 days after order even though I paid for normal ground shipping. I had them shipped to my office though which is a fairly large business that receives a huge amount of packages from each courier every day.

I'd say 5 days at most if you happen to live in the middle of nowhere.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I can't believe they are still shipping Rev A00s. They must be just trying to dump the things off on people and hope those not aware of the problem just keep the monitors without and complaints.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

No, they ship you a new monitor and once you receive it all you need to do it pack up the old monitor in the box that was sent and send it back. All shipping is pre-paid by Dell. If they use DHL like they did with me, you just need to call DHL and schedule a pickup date/time.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Now I just have to wait two weeks to be sure that they don't ship this 00 model anymore...does this replacement warranty only for 30 days?
No, if you are requesting a replacement due to banding, it is covered under the 3 year warranty. I got my A02 replacement after having the monitor for 2 months.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
