Dell 2405FPW now $724 after 2 coupons and free shipping

It should be noted, however, that some people have the opposite reaction in terms of dot pitch on LCDs. While clarity isn't reduced, blockiness is increased- that is, each pixel is physically larger. This is why text that looks good at 1920x1080 looks good on a 24" monitor but relatively bad on a 37" LCD.

just out of curiosity, where did you get 480x320??? It was my understanding that it was no larger than 720x480.

Actually it's 960x540....and that's only if the content requires the flag to be present.

I think this picture might be what some are looking for to compare the two
20 vs 24


Just a question on this monitor: I can use this monitor as a TV, can it be as simple as plugging in an antenna to the back of it?

Problem there being that the 20" is not the widescreen 2005FPW model.

As for your question, the 2405FPW has the following inputs: VGA, DVI, component, S-Video, and Composite.

I've had both side by side and there is a HUGE difference. I gave the 2005fpw to my brother and just use the 2405fpw myself now. When I'm on my brother's computer his monitor actually feels small since I'm used to the 24"er.

If you have the money then get the 2405fpw. The only reason you might not want to is if you're a hardcore gamer and can't afford to get both the monitor and the videocard(s) to run it. It's a beast and the high resolution is brutal on games.

The only 5% off I could find is for Dell Business, but the $35 off is for Dell Home.

I think if you guys are patient the price will drop considerably in a few months. Just my 2 cents.

5% coupon is dead, I tried ordering just now. I suspect there will be another offer by the end of March though. Dell probably wants to dump excess inventory of this model so they can report more cash and less inventory at the end of the fiscal year.

If you guys hear anything new, please post. I'm on the lookout to pull the trigger on this one.

Yes, so close to the end of the month.. when does the "new" deals comeout? thurs?/tues?

I have been planning on getting the 2405fpw for few months and thought i would wait it out.. seems to be taking forever....

any ideas?

 

[razzy3302]

I guess giving away a legitimate code is against the rules.....Just wanted someone to get use of it instead of being greedy and putting it on e-bay. Excuse me for trying to be nice.

uuuh, you need to erase that and read the forum rules buddy before the mods pwn you

 

[aboothman]

some of you people entertain me...always wanting to play the role of the forum police If he did not read the rules, then he will find out the hard way.....

To stay on topic, is this deal still going or are we just bumping a dead deal?

 

[beany323]

cost + shipping to california:

SB = 861.
Outlet = 805.
Home = 823.

Went and got the home one, with 2 day business = total 848.

(still not sure when new deals come out.. hope its thurs so if i need to cancal i can.)
