    Better Deal: http://cgi.ebay.com/DELL-NEW-ULTRA-...temQQptZComputer_Monitors?hash=item4a9ce590d5

    Same price, same company but use the 20% bing.com cashback to make it $400.00

    There are other guys selling it for $495.00 on ebay but for most the $5.00 is probably worth it to get it from dell.

    I have 3 of these monitors and honestly cant recommend them. Not worth the cost and still has a host of issues that need to be ironed out. After a revision or two it may be one of the best monitors you can buy in this price range.

    I'm personally waiting for some better 120hz monitors.

    Ahh, well still a better deal unless dell.com has equal CB, but the 20% deal was good the other day.

    You have the triple monitor setup correct? Are these the monitors you are using for that?

    That stinks. That must of cost you a lot. Aside from the defects, did they actual perform as they said. Meaning did the IPS screen give you great color reproduction and viewing angles or is it not worth it. I am planning on getting a 24"+ monitor and I am not sure if IPS is worth it.

    IPS monitors are great but I haven't seen a 120hz version yet.

    I cant say that the IPS screens view angles are significantly better than the 2407/2408/2407 combo I replaced.

    Plus your sitting in front of the monitor anyways, view angles are really more of an issue for things like HDTV's where you have multiple viewers that may be at alternate angles.
