no regrets

Has anyone who has bought any of these Dell monitors ever regretted buying it? I doubt it. I bought a Dell 2705 FPW for 600-700 pounds about 2 years ago, and have never looked back with even the slightest twinge of regret.

With screen technology like LED-backlit LCDs (such as the one I have on this VAIO VGN-SZ38GP/C laptop I'm using at the moment) moving forward all the time, and things like OLED on the horizon, you would have thought that any money spent on a soon-to-be-obsolete monitor would give you nagging feeling of money down the drain. Not so with these monitors.

Dell prices these monitors (with the all-important screen parts themselves coming from market leaders Samsung and/or LG, I think) so aggressively that not only can many enthusiasts, such as myself, afford one, but you just can't resent the fact that something new and better comes out not that long afterwards. I'm not worried about the fact that the model I bought has been superceded since then. It will do me fine for a while. If and when I finally resign myself to making an upgrade to Bluray or HD DVD and other high-definition level standards, then I will need HDMI, but otherwise I see no pressure to replace mine right now.

Dell PCs may be arguably a bad investment (I built my own) but these monitors are not. Buy one.
