Hot, but I already have a 2005FPW and don't have the money to spend on this :brokenheart:

(That money is going towards other items in my computer more in need of an upgrade )

Tax kinda weakens it a bit..

But still a smoking price for a sweet 24" Panel..

This monitor is huge and beautiful. Everquest 2 at 1920 looks amazing on it.

No sales tax in NH

Excuse me if this is a dumb question, but do things like the net fill the whole screen without geometric distortion on these widescreen displays? I am sure a widescreen DVD will fill the whole screen but what about ordinary web serfing?

For browsing, it will be the same, just more space horizontally.
and, depending on your DVD/movie, it will NOT fill the whole screen (read into aspect ratios).

webpages are fine, you just get alot of extra space on the side of the pages like anandtech page

I have this monitor, best purchase i have every made, and i was really lucky and got no dead pixels or any weird buzzing.

Dell previously had a 5% discount when paying with American Express. I haven't seen this discount recently with my cards but did find a LINK for AE in Canada with 5% discount for Dell purchases. Linky So I called Dell and said I had the 25% coupon code and wanted to use my AE card for addl 5% discount I saw on the AE website. (didn't say anything about it being in Canada) Got the 2405 OTD for $839.30! YMMV but worked for me

# Call 1-877-814-4148 and have your American Express Corporate Card for Small Business ready.
# Simply let your Dell representative know that you are an American Express Corporate Cardmember and you?ll automatically be eligible for the discoun

Would it work for AMEX Blue?

CONFIRMED! I just ordered one ... told them exactly what you said above, and it worked. However, mine came to $854 + tax, free shipping. Definitely YMMV, however they didn't have problem with it at all. Looks like this deal is warming up!

Any idea what the warranty is on this? i've never bought from dell but i've heard you can return it if you have any dead or stuck pixels? How about the ship date? Thanks guys

About a month ago i bought a 1905FP and it had a dead pixel. Called tech support and they told me that I cannot return it or replace it unless it has more than 5 dead pixel's within a quarter sized area.

The tech guy was a jerk and I'v now called Dell at least 6 times and have recieved very bad customer service. Needless to say my purchase is now more than 21 days old and I am stuck with it.

You must have got $1199 x .75 x .95 whereas I got 1199 x .7

I said the total discount should be 30% and this is the way she entered it. Others may try stating that the total should be a 30% discount to try eeking out the last few dollars. $854 is still a good deal though based on the pricing for the last couple months.

I used an AE Blue Small Bus card only because I have no interest for 6 months, I think could have used any of my AE cards, Rep didn't seem to care. There might also be a deal in Dell Home tomorrow for a similar price - check the tread Here

Does anyone know the dimensions of the box that the 2405 comes in? Also, if you knew the weight that would be awesome. Thanks!
