It's on sale until Thursday and I'm thinking of blowing the money on it, but I know they've had a bunch of revisions, some good, some crappy. Anyone know which revision is shipping now, and the ups/downs of it?

Thanks.

I'd recommend buying on ebay with the cashback. It ends up being considerably cheaper than purchasing from Dell. Now if only there were those old 20% off coupons of old for Dell.

Yeah but the ones on eBay don't come with the 3 year advance exchange warranty. 2 years from now if I get some weird glitch, I like knowing I can call them and have a new one at my door in a couple of days. I don't mind paying a little extra for that.

I take it that warranty costs extra? You still get 3 year warranties (well... slightly shorter) with the ones on ebay.

No, the warranty comes standard. And most of those 3rd party "ebay" warranties are for money back in current value, or a repair. I don't want that, I'd prefer a replacement of the same product or replacement model.

3 year warranties are standard.

If you're referring to the complete coverage crap where you get accidental damage coverage, that's nice. I paid 1024 tax incl for my Dell 2707 from Dell Premier for that exact same reason. I got 5 year accidental damage coverage. The 3 year standard still has replacement covered. No one usually spends time repairing your LCD. they just toss yours and send you a refurb.
