Here is one great offer posted by Jeffreylin today at OzBargain — Dell 24″ LCD monitor $499 delivered. The specific model is Entry E248WFP, which is Dell’s entry level monitor using TN panel. The much-praised UltraSharp 2407WFP is also on sale for $799 with a free 2GB memory key. Deal on E248WFP expires tomorrow (19/02/2008).
Specification on E248WFP:
- 5ms response time
- 160 degree viewing angle
- 400cd/m2 brightness
- 1000:1 contrast
- 1920×1200 at 60Hz
- DSub, DVI-D with HDCP
Nice big monitor if you need to have a big desktop space but does not need to work on colour-intensive tasks (photoshopping for example). It should be great for gaming because of its fast response time (and you probably don’t have time to think about whether the 8bit colours are dithered when you are fragging/getting fragged). See the reviews on Dell’s site for pro’s and con’s from actual customers.
There are also discussions at OzBargain on how to bring down the price even further. So far you can use
- EPP — if your work or school can organise it, and you can usually get 10% discount on monitors.
- MoneyBackCo — 3% moneyback on Dell products.
Should we expect 27″ or 30″ at this price point in 12 month time?
