I decided to get this and the Newegg EVGA 6800 "Ultra" instead of a laptop. I think this setup will be a little better for half-life 2 :-D

I'm tempted to jump on this deal since I somehow missed the laptop deal. Triple monitors would be very nice. I've an hour to decide...

Expires 11:59pm CST, so you still have about 2 hours. ;)

I resisted. :) I'm going to pick up the new 12" iBook instead.

Bought this just under two weeks ago, at $679. Regular price dropped $50, plus the $70 coupon made this much better, so I called Dell sales. Asked them if they would adjust my original order, or if I needed to re-order the monitor and pack up the original and send it back to them. Got a $68.90 price adjustment.

Thrilled with the monitor so far. Only one pixel, stuck "on", on the left side of the screen. Completely unnoticeable in any real time application. Can't believe that a 20" LCD that's at the top of almost everyone's list of LCD monitors is cheaper than most 19" models.

Just wishing I had taken advantage of the $750 notebook coupon. BTW, those complaining/noting the slow response times on the Dell website yesterday....I believe their servers got hit hard by people ordering notebooks. Only a few days left in their fiscal year. Wonder if we'll see anything else spectacular in the next few days?

I got mine for $576.20, tagged the order for this onto something else a friend ordered with a flat-shipping rate (they get the shipping back via coupon I guess) and they applied the $33 against the shipping for that and didn't increase it it from the flat rate of $99.

So, $609.20 - $33.00 = $576.20

Bonus! :D

Nice!

Now we just got to all convince Dell to make a 23-24" widescreen model, and price it well...

Yeah i did, and i get the same message, UPS has it registered as receiving the billing information, but no shipping info. I got an email from dell saying it may take up to 3 days before any actual shipping info is available. If it takes the full 5 days, then most people that ordered should have their monitor by Monday at the latest. Can't wait to unload this 19" CRT behemoth and free up some desktop space.

First post for me. Just wanted to throw my opinion on this monitor into the mix....

Have picked up two of these bad boys in the last two months. I'm currently gaming on them (UT2K4, Tribes: Vengeance, D3) with NO problems. Love the desk space also. Congrats to those of you who picked up this deal when you had the chance.

By the way I had picked up my last one a week or so back when Dell Small Biz had the $220 off. I wrote a little email to Dell Customer Service threatening to stop doing business with them if they didn't refund some or all of the difference (like $58). Got myself $30 back. Not bad....

Does anybody know any active coupons for the 2001FP?

I had to return my 1905FP (omg BADDDD ghosting) and they wouldn't re-apply my coupon to the 2001FP. Tried to get them to honor the $70 off of $525 coupon and they wouldn't do that either :(

(Maybe this belongs in the "I Wanna" Thread but figured it was product specific)
