I had to go and check the sticky about the posting for sale threads and whilst I know that it's not allowed, there was a couple of threads in here where a few people bought these cheap and everyone seemed pretty into it. Anyway i'm getting one and i'm looking for $900 for it i'll deliver in Brisbane, it's brand new unopened, warrant, so on.

Thanks

weren't they on sale for like $780?

i will give you 4 earth credits

900 is pretty expensive...

yup trog, with the dell staff discount code that was floating around they were $760 odd, customer of mine bought 30.

they were sure, but they aren't now, I'm just throwing it out there.

I was hanging out to buy one of these at the $700~ price, how often do these deals come up?

$900 is still decent, even now their internet special price is 1199 according to the catalogue that came yesterday

yeh jim that is the current price i'm offering 25% off which is pretty good I hope

yeah but like everyone else reading this, I've already got a screen.
I would happily wait around for another 24" deal to pop up to save $200

I wish I could trade in my 22" widescreen and pay the difference to get the Dell 24". But they prolly wont do that.

8-(

Screw the 24" model, go the 30"!

just updating my earlier comment - new offer on these starting today is $999 with the sennheiser PC13 headset and razorback mouse again. not aware of any coupons that drop it down further, not that I've looked for any though

Awesomeness Jim,
I just ordered myself a 24" + headset etc
should top off my system nicely

i'm kind of speechless you paid $100 more than I was offerring to receive the same product plus other things you can purchase for less than $100.

especially after this post

yeah but like everyone else reading this, I've already got a screen.
I would happily wait around for another 24" deal to pop up to save $200

instead you didn't wait and paid $100 more

Except that he got a brand new monitor for that... with the accessories.

3 year warranty, invoice from dell with an ABN, addressed to my company etc
I'll save that $100 on my tax and not have to deal with any warranty issues through a 3rd party

also paying it off interest free so really, you should probably drop your price if anything

yeah but like everyone else reading this, I've already got a screen.

As for that - technically, I did wait around to save $200.. $300 in fact

I picked up a 2405 for $400 imo fyi fwiw etc

blahnana mine is a brand new monitor from dell unopened, warranty & receipt of purchase etc, i'll agree that the option to pay it off interest free I can't offer.

As much as you'd like to say that it's brand new, I definitely distinguish between something that's bought direct from the people who sell it, as opposed to some guy who's got one thing to sell and it's this Dell monitor that's supposedly brand new and he's selling it on a forum for $100 off. Who knows where you got it, how you got it, whether you'll be around if the warranty needs to be claimed, whether you'll give a receipt, what version of the monitor it is (your version of brand new doesn't mean it's the latest monitor).

The point everyone's making is that you're not taking a lot off... of course the major problem is that you're trying to sell into a market thats was well taken care of by (and remembers well) a product that was actually brand new, came with more bits, and was significantly cheaper than the product you're trying to sell.

Ebay might be a better place to sell. Certainly you should try to sell your monitor for what you can, but it boggles my mind why you'd wonder why someone else would choose differently to your product when you really aren't selling under the same conditions... no matter how "brand new" you say it is.

today i just bought a 27" dell for $1199 :) should get it next week!!!

jesus s***, you can buy 27" monitors now? people actually put them on their desks and use them for work purposes?

30" even

today i just bought a 27" dell for $1199 :)

sucker!!! the 27" has the same pixels as a 24"

On a side note, does anyone have clearer details on when Dell release their new Display Port monitors? If these retail for the similar price as current models, I'll wait for them.

http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/05/dell display port2.jpg

Feast your eyes on Dell's sexy new LCD. It measures about half an inch thick and packs a resolution that's 4x sharper than the current HDTV resolutions. It's part of Dell's new Display Port technology.

It will support up to 4x the current HDTV resolutions, allow for integrated peripherals around the display, and will let you daisychain multiple monitors, rather than installing them in a star configuration. Everyting, including audio, microphone, panel I/O and more will all go through a single bi-directional cable.

Even better, by eliminating a lot of the electronics used for video conversion, new LCD monitors will be super-thin, and super sleek. The prototype, displayed above, should be available later this year. It's only about a half an inch thick. Display Port also promises to make notebook monitors thinner too, said Kettler.

So....someone is trying to sell the 24" LCD for $900 when it's ~$799 directly from DELL?

nice.

Find me THIS $799 price moran today....

So....someone is trying to sell the 24" LCD for $900 when it's ~$799 directly from DELL?

nah it's $1200 on special usually, occasionally it's $1000 and if you are lucky enough to have a heavy discount coupon at the right time you'll get it for $800

OFFER - $400 OFF (Only $799* Delivered!)

Purchase a; Dell UltraSharp™2407WFP- HC 24" Wide Screen Flat Panel LCD Monitor and receive $400 OFF.**

Offer Ends Sunday 26/8/2007. Offer limited to first 300 customers.

To redeem this offer, follow the E-Value Code link located at the top menu and enter the e-value code. Insert the specific coupon code quoted above when the order is confirmed at CHECK-OUT in the Dell Australia Home/Home Office ONLINE store

They come by fairly often. And someone always manages to leak the code.
Or it's sold on Ebay =\

I've been aware of that offer only twice this year so far. Plus limited to the first 300 customers. Kind of a far cry from it being '~$799 from Dell' eh

sucker!!! the 27" has the same pixels as a 24"

It's still bigger. I'd personally throw in the extra $200 and get myself a 30" if I was to spend that much.

There are some 37" LCD's out on the market, haven't seen any locally though. All that's floating around is the dodgy LCD TV's.

as you go up in size you go down in performance.
rise/fall times on 30" monitors suck, when compared to a 19-24"

if you care about it, it will make all the difference when choosing a monitor
my top priorities when selecting the 24" were in this order

* native 1080p display
* speed - rise/fall
* price
* size

* native 1080p display

1920x1200 isn't native 1920x1080?

my bad, it allows me to run 1080 without upscaling

i know the 27 has the smae res as 24 that why i bought it.... would rather bigger pixel... eg... like the 22 better then the 20" same res though... dont like real small res....

I was going to buy 30" for 1500 however.... you need to DVI ports just to run it... for 1 my dell xps 1710 laptop only has 1 dvi and plus how do you play games with a huge ass res... even with 27" you still need a computer that can play games at 1920 x 1200 res... which is crazy!!

it allows me to run 1080 without upscaling

Isn't that just a graphics card feature that letterboxes smaller resolutions for you?

I was going to buy 30" for 1500 however.... you need to DVI ports just to run it.

Incorrect, but you do need a dual-link DVI port, which is the same size/shape as a regular DVI port, it just has more pins. Most new cards have this, but your laptop likely doesn't.

Lynx, I highly doubt that new Dell beast will be anywhere near the price of current Dells.

parabol, admittedly I really don't have any idea

I've just been told that 24" is the smallest monitor you can use which will do 1080p without
either way, this is the first new monitor I've bought in 7 years so I'm happy with it.

True, but I'm kind of hoping the release of the new monitors will push down the price of the current models and make them more affordable. I don't want to pay more then $700 for the Dell 24", coupons or not.

parabol, admittedly I really don't have any idea

Well my 19" LCD is 1280x1024. If I set it to 1280x800 for example, it'll letter-box the top and bottom without any stretching whatsoever.

This option can be changed to make it scale or letterbox, in the graphics driver options:

http://homepage.powerup.com.au/~boldajis/images/lbox.png

ok, but you can't run 1080p because you don't have 1080 lines of resolution or something..
and 24" is where they start to have >1080 lines.. right?

Yes, the 22"s are usually 1680 x 1050 and 1600x1200 for 4:3 and windscreens.

Has anyone with a dell monitor had any problems with dead/bright pixels? Their warranty doesn't instill confidence:

A display with 1 to 5 fixed pixels is within the industry standards, and is therefore considered an acceptable display.

2 2405's in this office, one with a single dead pixel that is green on black and not really noticeable on any other colours, and one has no dead pixels at all.

http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/3007wfp_hc?c=au&cs=audhs1&l=en&s=dhs

I bought this back in December last year, and it's going great, not a dead/bright pixel to be seen.

i love my dell monitor at work, tis only little but is nice and crisp and clear

and i can rotate it if feel the need;

Tanaka Khan, Do you game at 2560x1600?

got my 2407wfp-hc for $799 with a pure-av hdmi cable chucked in last week, and had no deal pixels and its pretty much perfect for my needs. the $849 deal is for the monitor plus razor mouse and sennheiser gaming headphone but i think that deal is over as well now.

the only bug the 2407wfp-hc has is a inverse ghosting issue which at the most extreme looks like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljRCxlf0njk . however with my 2407 i don't get it to that extent. it's so small and happens so rarely to me, i don't really notice it unless i go looking for it. dell have a 10 day money back guarantee anyway, so if it does annoy you just return it. and dell has a 0 dead pixel exchange warranty within 10 days of the invoice date (guaranteed new monitor if available apparently).

if your looking for a good 24" lcd with a non TN panel, then i would wait for the next discount code to come along. they seem to be occurring pretty frequently now as well. best place to check when the coupon discounts come up is the 2407 thread in the video cards forum on ocau.

that 2407 + razer mouse + headphones for $849 is still going for 2 more days.

Crakaveli, if the game supports it I do. WoW, CoH, Eve Online, Medieval Total War, Fear etc.

You can get 24inch Samsungs for under $800.

I was going to get a 30 inch lcd because the 32 inch TVs were so over priced. For a couple hundred dollars more you get a slightly smaller monitor that does full 1080p and can be used as a second PC monitor. Ended up getting a dodgy 37 inch 1080p Acer TV for $1800 that has worked brilliantly ever since.

acer 24" for $599

That Acer doesn't have all the inputs or the USB hub in it that the Dell has though...

Your forgetting the Integrated 9-in-2 media card reader

I don't know if I would pay an extra $300+ for a USB hub and card reader I could get separately for less then $50 combined. If there was a big difference in the viewing quality or the warranty then I'd consider it but little gimmicky addons that aren't worth much don't seem to be value for money in my mind.

yeah to be honest, I've never used anything on my 24" dell other than the LCD pixels and the on/off button
also, I f***ing love apples for their 'sensor' touch on/off buttons

you only notice it when they're side by side, but I have to push my dells button really hard compared to the soft touch of the apple, the dell monitor moves around when you do it to so you're always readjusting it

Try holding most of your hand behind the monitor and pressing the button with your thumb. Also I don't really mind Acers but there's a few here at work and they just look cheap. I think Samsung monitors have a similar soft touch button on their higher end range now too.

the point was I don't have to do it with the apple monitor, the dell probably only moves so much because of the neato stand they come on these days - which allows even a giant like myself to have it at the right height/angle

for anyone who has owned an apple cinema display, they'll know what im talking about

I don't know if I would pay an extra $300+ for a USB hub and card reader I could get separately for less then $50 combined.

The inputs are a big plus for me, very handy being able to plug an Xbox 360 into it via component as well as a PC in DVI.

Yeah, video connections would be the only other real consideration. Hell the only reason I even own a TV is because I needed somewhere to plug in an Xbox and Wii.

what dan said, it's bloody awesome having those monitor inputs

What Jim and Dan said. Can even play my PS2 on S-Video YEAH

yeah what reso said we said

I concur

what

yeah play coy I know your tricks

Putting this review of the 2407WFP and 3007WFP Dell in here, cause it's a great review.
