    Dead: Dell 2405FPW 24" LCD Monitor $779 free shipping!

    I might be an idiot but when I tried just now to go own and buy myself a brand new guy, I couldnt get it anywhere close to 779. I saw 240 dollars off which brought it to 960. Is there another coupon code I need to enter or is the deal done?
