Looking for suggestion here. I just bought an Envision 9110 for $400 and also could not resist and jumped on this deal too. Can anyone tell me if the extra 1" worth $300 more? I play games but not a hardcore gamer because I have married. Thanks, guys.

Also consider that 19" 9110 has an SXGA native resolution (1280x1024), while the 20" 2001FP has a UXGA native resolution (1600x1200).

Personally would find the increased resolution the deciding difference, in favor of the UXGA.

My bruised and bloody CC limps back into my wallet $687 lighter.

Me? I'm doin' the pee-pee dance for the next couple of days, I guess! A refurb 2001FP for me, whoopee! :laugh:

Why exactly do you suggest this? I'm curious because I'll be using analog at first, but DVI once I have enough budgeted for a new video card.

Good luck people, I used the dell online order chat.

Does this come with the usb cable for the built in hub? The description doesnt mention it, but I'm crossing my fingers. Any current owners care to share?

Yes it does but the cable I got was physically impossible to plug into it. There was a plastic protective thingie around the end that plugs into the monitor and it hit the plastic casing of the monitor as the USB port there was inset a little bit. If you have another USB cable you could probably swap this one for that one and be good though.

I just got a credit for $84.25. This was basically $40 price difference and $40 tax and both came to a total of $84.25.

To do this, I called 1-800-456-3355 at extension 68938, spoke with a rep, and the conversation basically went like this:

me: Hi, I purchased the 2001FP for about $800 less than 2 weeks ago and it's now available for about $700. I understand that I can just return the one I have for a full refund and purchase the cheaper one to get the savings.

her: Well, if you would like, I can just refund you the difference.

me: ok. I originally purchased it for $794.21 and it's now available for $709.25.

her: ok, wait a sec.

[wait]

her: Ok, I see you bought it for about $750 so the refund you'll get is about $40.

me: Well, Dell home doesn't charge tax in Indiana but DSB does.

her: I don't know if I can refund that.

me: So I would have to return the one I have now in order to get that back as well?

her: let me check, hold on.

[wait]

her: Ok, you get $84.25 back.

Funny thing was, she never asked me for the coupon codes or anything. She either just took my word that it's now available $709.25 or she already knew about the coupons.

 

[tstrike]

i was able to change my order price yayy!! now it's $709.25 shipped sweeeeeeeeett

yea the guy ithat i talked ot never asked for a coupon code also LOL

 

[imported_Strang]

I'm on hold with them right now -- they wouldn't give me the sale price, so they're giving me a $20 credit (based on a $40 savings if I shipped the monitor back less $20 for shipping).

No go on a sales tax refund, but still made a good deal a little hotter.

I bought my 2001FP refurb'ed and use both DVI and analog (mostly DVI, gaming) and have not had any problems. A friend has a brand new one and he thinks the picture on mine is better than his.

Dell has always been VERY good with the refurb returns so even if you do have a problem, return it.

 

[mflacy]

Argh! I couldn't take it anymore. $709 shipped, no tax in SC. Time to sell some stuff on Ebay to pay for this thing.

 

[RossMAN]

Current Dell 2001FP owners, would you please read my thread and reply?

Many thanks
