DEAL IS DEAD: $925+tax maybe ?? Free ground shipping(or 2-day if you ask for it)

[jenneth]

darkswordsman17, congrets on getting the 2405FPW (still waiting for mine). I have a quick question, when you play Metroid Prime 2 using the component inputs, are there two black bars on each side? or does the image stretches?

thanx.

I know the Dell price is hard to beat, just wanted to mention that for consideration.

I believe Samsung zero pixel policy only applies only for the Korean market. They still have the crappy 7-8 policy for the rest of the world.

Doh! You're right. The place I originally heard this failed to mention that part in their news.

I'm sick of PM'ing this to people individually, so I'm just gonna post Andy's info here. He encouraged me to give his info to my friends in case they wanted the same deal, so here you go AnandTech Forumites:

1-800-456-3355, x7240141. It'll prompt you for another extension a few seconds after you enter the first one, and his is x5712. He said he would honor the price of $860 + shipping for another few days, so call him ASAP if you want in on this deal!

I ordered mine on Friday at around noon from him and it has already shipped! Should be here Monday

You can tell it to keep the aspect ratio (that I would assume would put black bars up), stay in 1:1 resolution (meaning that since its 640x480 its gonna be small), or Fill. I just set it to fill and it looks great (can't really tell its stretched at all in most games, a few you can sorta tell, but its very minor if at all noticeable).

Whatever processing chip they put in this thing is very good.

what kind of a company is dell running where different custom reps can sell the same product for different prices? I know its legit, and there is nothing worry about, but it just strikes me as odd...

The whole point wasn't about the REP......its about the policy for this board.
Its like we can't post coupon codes so personal information might not be allowed either.

The deal is that this is the small business section.
The REPs are allowed to give certain type of deals based on the business.
So sometimes when a huge business customer of DEll want to get the best pricing possible, the REPs are allow to do whatever to keep that business happy.

I'm pretty sure the reps have a lowest price they are allow to sell on all the products so its up to them.
Imagine Citibanks call them up for 10,000 of these monitors, you think they will get the lowest price Dell will allow...of course.

i'm not sure if i'm mad or not that i bought 2 2005FPWs a couple of months ago...I think I'm mad, but I can't tell. It's mostly the component in that is angering me...that and the fact that I had $1600 at the time I bought my 2005fpws (i bought a myhd120 card, but I could live without that honestly...though it may be worth some serious cash when the broadcast flags kidck in) /rant

 

[BadaBing]

I just bought my UltraSharp 2001FP last week for $506.00 and now this deal comes along. Is tonight the deadline on this deal?

My rep said that it would only be for this weekend, and I've seen another post saying it would be until the end of the month, but I jumped in now because:
1) There's bound to be a backorder situation soon and
2) This is a *really* good deal, or so it seems... deals like this get pulled for no good reason, even before the 'official' end date... ya never know.
