I want to buy a 2405 but am waiting for a Dell coupon to bring the price to below $850 or so. I haven't seen any new coupons on techbargains dot com or anywhere else for a long time. Anyone have any info?

2405 that is, and not a coupon.

Dell 2001FP, excellent shape, 1 stuck green pixel but you will never see it since its towards a corner. No dead Pixels. $400 locally, $430 shipped.
....
Will accept a GOOD 2005 FPW toward the purchase of the 2405.
Retail on a 2405 is $1200, retail on a 2005 is $434, but i only want $600 in difference.
I am only interested in a 2005 toward the 2405, I already have a 2001fp I'm trying to sell so not interested in it or anything smaller.

Back OT... I wouldn't suggest anyone buying either a Dell 2001FP, 2005FPW, or 2405FPW in the near future unless you get it for a steal or you NEVER watch DVD's on your system. Wait and see what Dell has in store for 2006 that will be compliant with Windows Vista Hardware DRM.

If you're going to advertise, I'm going to comment...

So, you want $400 for your 2001FP, but you'll only give someone else $175 for their 2005FPW...?
Because you are looking at a $1200 LCD... Obvioulsy, you like shiny, expensive things...What makes you think I'm going to upgrade to Windows Vista? Screw that. I'm going to stick around with XP.
If you look around i know you can get em for $671.44

Off Dell's site
2405 new = $1200
2005 new = $434
Difference $766
Hell look at it this way.
I want $800 for my used 2405, which is 1/3 off(1200-400).
New a 2005 is $434, and can be had from Dell for $350 with coupons. So if we use the same 1/3 off then a used 2405 is worth $288($434-33%).
How is me asking for a 2005 + $500-600 a bad deal?
Not only that, I know mine does not have stuck or dead pixels or backlight issues. Lets see Dell or anyone else w/ a NIB one promise that. That or enjoy the RMA process of having to go through 1-5 units before you find one you can live with.

I too would like to know where you are pulling this number from.

Buying a $1200 monitor like the 2405FPW (even with coupons) that wasn't able to play HD DVD's becasue it didn't support the Vista DRM would suck.
I'm in the same boat with the 2005FPW, I don't watch DVD's on my PC, but it doesn't exactly do wonders for the resale value of my LCD.

I thought that actually extended to not just digital inputs, but to HDMI inputs specifically. ie. a regular DVI-D input wouldn't support HDCP either, and they are digital.

Ok, it's been almost a month. Where the heck are the 2405 coupons that will bring this bad boy to under $850??? Dell has it on sale for $899, but I know it can go lower!
How much do you all think the price will drop after the 30'' comes out? How about next summer?
