It has been said that you should never buy anything from Dell at full price, although I can't find the quote. Maybe Dan's Data. In that way I think it is a bit like Briscoes or any other constantly-marketed company, the specials are part of their model and not an old-fashioned response to oversupply or market conditions. It surely is tiresome though.
I currently want one of these monitors which are just released but have been on special(!) in Australia for some time. NZ != Australia and all that, but jeepers, they're even telling us this week that it is on special in NZ...at A$999. Sigh. Obviously a stuff-up (fixed now too, well done) but still frustrating.
So I shall wait another week, hoping the NZ$ doesn't drop too much, and see if the 2407WFP-HC comes onto a proper special. The reviews indicate it is a nice monitor and it even has a card reader and multiple video inputs. Which will be nice for the DVD player.

Instead of reading reviews of it, why don't you just ask your friends who own it? It's VERY nice, since you wanted to know.
I thought you had a 23" or somesuch? You bought that ages ago after Jason did? Or have you upgraded again? I really wasn't aware that it was the same or I would have asked.
There appears to have been about 6 revisions of this now, but yes (it now having arrived) we agree it is very nice. The -FC bit does make some of the colours weird sometimes though even with Mac colour management.
What I really liked was that I turned it on and before the image had appeared the mac had reconfigured itself for max resolution, installed the colour management profile, and rearranged the desktop. Nice.
What do you use for cleaning fingerprints?
