Make sure you use the coupon.

I've been watching this on Redflagdeals (I'm a lurker there unlike gmark! ) and, yeah, this is a great deal. Have read reviews on it for the last 20 minutes trying to decide whether or not I really needed one but decided that I don't.

Ahhh well...going to make chewy chocolate chip cookies this afternoon so that will be some small consolation.

I'm a deal addict for sure.

I've been looking at LCDs for a couple years now trying to replace my 7 year old Panasonic S17 CRT and I guess this deal was too good to pass up even if it does have the Dell brand name on it. Sorry Apple.

wow.... i want this! but i already have a 17" NEC 1765.... it's 1280 x 1024

But the Dell is 1680 x 1050...

I wonder if the extra 400 pixels of width is worth it to spend approx $690, tax inc for the dell?

Ugh, decisions decisions! lol.... someone help me

Actually, I have an old powerbook... the 867mHz one that doesn't support DVI. I wonder if it will recognize the widescreen 20" resolution?

It's too good to pass up IMHO. You'll be using this monitor for years to come. The monitor would probably adjust to the maximum resolution of your G4/867 TiBook, even if it isn't native 1680x1050.

Just sell your 17".

Hey, I actually posted this in the other help forum, but maybe you can help me... the Dell has USB 2.0 ports, but my powerbook only has USB 1.1. Are they related somehow? Does that mean that my laptop inherently won't support USB 2.0, or will the Dell monitor somehow still transfer at USB 2.0 speeds?

The speeds are different (can't recall at the top of my head) but USB 2.0 is newer, much faster and backwards-compatible with USB 1.1. Your laptop does not and will not support 2.0 speeds and the monitor will not transfer at 2.0 speeds but they will still be able to talk to one another.

aww... i thought that this might finally be a way for me to get faster USB 2.0 connections, lol. That would have definitely made me decide to get the monitor for sure

Now i just need to decide how badly I want my monitor to be about 4" wider, lol

Done deal. I had to grab one of theseD My 15" Samsung 152T kick butt, but it is just too small for development work!

by the way, anyone want to buy a Black 15" Samsung 152T?

- Sexy Black Case!
- 15" Diagonal viewing area
- Perfect condition, no dead pixels, no stuck pixels, no scratches (that I can see without a microscope)
- Switchable DVI and VGA inputs for two computer connection (switch is easily accessable on the front panel).
- two hinge scissor-type screen height and angle adjustment. Screen base can fold flat so it can sit flat on your desk or flat against a wall.
- Wall mount included! I am using it currently and it works awesome.
- Original box, dvi cable, manuals, wall mount... perfect for safe shipping
- good viewing angle 160H/140V
- Bright screen with high contrast

Absolutely no blemishes on the unit. Used with loving care, just not very often because I spend most of my time on my Macs and this was only used with my PC and I dont work out of my home as much as I used to.

Thanks for the point to the deal guys and gals!
