Nope. I was going to buy one from a member here and I called Dell and they said, no.

Correct.

Remember it's a MONITOR from Dell E&A (Electronics and Accessories), think of it as a digital camera or MP3 player.

It's NOT a desktop or notebook system.

What? Why do they have a warranyt transfer form on their website?

I just sold one on here and he contacted Dell and had the warranty switched over.

Also, on their site (and documentation) they list that monitors have a 3 year warranty, however when he talked to Dell they said it only has a one year warranty.

Hmm, I see that it says transferring warranty on a system, but it seemed to have gone through, so WTF, I don't know.

So what the hell do the people who buy 12 20" monitors from dell do? Do they just sell them to people and the buyers get no warranties?

When I sold about 40 LCD's I sent a signed letter along with a copy of the packing list to each buyer. I only heard from 2 of those 40 people who said after some arguing and teeth pulling Dell finally transferred the warranty although they weren't supposed to.

Then you should have bought them when they were on sale with 3 year warranty and free shipping.
