Anyone have this monitor? I am thinking about ordering for $400 + Tax, any opinions?

Hold off until you can get an 18.1" Ultrasharp for $425-$450. I picked mine up a few months ago at $426 shipped.

The 1800FP is exempt from this deal.....

Well, I'm thinking, would two of the 15" Ultrasharps work better than one of the 18"s? I do a lot of programming, the dual-monitor real estate horizontally might be nicer....

 

[Czar]

but cant you get the 1900fp for about $500 from dell.com?

 

[Czar]

better buy one 18" now and another 18" later

Yea, I can't afford that though, not even close.

The 1900FP is $600 even after the discount.
The 1800FP isn't subject to a discount at all.
And I'm moving into my new apt in 3 weeks at which point I have no room for a 19" CRT. And plus I need to buy assloads of furniture so I don't think I have the $$$ for anything over $400 for a flat panel right now, but will in a few months.

 

[Czar]

wow, prices have increased since I last checked, then you could get a 19" for $480 or so, found at hot deals

better wait, 15" isnt just worth it

I'd highly recommend waiting on an ultrasharp.

Yes, You really need to wait out for the 18.1. It is much better.
