Hopefully this weekend! If the guy replies back.

Thanks again for all of your time and help.

I purchased a pile of Dell 1905 FP monitors when a business upgraded their monitors.   The Dells are a solidly build monitor with tilt and swivel.  They are easily placed in the vertical position but I do not like them set that way because they have very bad washout or color change when viewed off side to the left of the screen.  This corresponds to the bottom of the screen if looking at it in the horizontal position.   As far as I can see there is nothing special about the Dell 1905 FP in viewing angles.  They wash out like most other LCD TFT screens.

Here is the spec that I found when I entered the model number.

Unstupid:
I'm wondering if they used different types of panels in the same model number like they did the 2001fp's?

BobA:
Looking at the docs further it looks like many panels were used to be able to give better response time etc.   It may be prudent to test the particular monitor you want to buy by looking at it from the bottom of the screen or rotating it and looking at an angle from the left side since serial numbers and model numbers do not tell the whole story.   Apparently there is a sequence of control presses that will reveal what screen is being used but apparently dell changed the software so you cannot do it in later models.

H2obuffalo:
Hmm...I had planned on testing the angles before purchase. The seller apparently has many many monitors available. I will certainly take photos of the display layed down flat and from all four sides. I shall have my answer and post photos.
