best place to get Dell 2408WFP?

[fuddam]

seen on ebay, of course, but prefer to avoid that route. Found on ebuyer (GBP433) and Scan (442) so far.

also, any version to look for? I don't much about the diff versions that have been released.

TIA

Scan often have them on TodayOnly for £413.

I did see an open box special (still with 3 year Dell warranty) on eBuyer for £399 a couple of weeks ago. Should have just bit the bullet and bought that one

I get my Dell monitors from PCBuyIt due to the pixel warranty (0 dead for life of warranty). Only a bit cheaper once you factor in delivery but you will be guaranteed the A01 revision. It's the latest revision and the one you want.

Quote from their page:

3 year on-site next business day replacement warranty - direct with Dell UK

All of our Dell monitors are sold with a pixel perfect guarantee for the duration of the warranty period, in the unlikely event your monitor has ANY pixel defect we will arrange for the monitor to be replaced next working day, to arrange this simply email us the monitor serial number, order reference or invoice number, the address and a contact mobile of where you would like it replaced. Calls must be logged before 4pm qo qualify. (UK Customers only).

Another vote here for PCBuyit, excellent service from them so far I bought a 22" IPS screen.

The Dell in on TodayOnly for the weekend at £413.99

I would prefer the H-IPS panel in the HP for any colour critical image editing over the S-PVA panel in the Dell though.

[Funkstar]

The HP certainally looks good.

Might have to see if I can unload the 2408 I already have and get two of the HPs. I would prefer a matching set

that HP monitor qualifies for 10% discount from the HP site, if you share it (eg facebook) etc.

total is 388.86 inc P&P..........

am VERY interested now

and just bought it from HP



thanks to all for comments. This came out higher than the Dell in all other reviews I read, so........pretty much the fastest larger-purchase I've made. lol.

will be using it for colour-critical work, so there ya go.

I would also look at getting a colour calibrator too:

If I want a monitor that will not have any issues with fast paced games (ghosting etc) and can also have excellent viewing angles, what is best?

Sorry for the highjack

just had a look at the review for the HP.

It has every type of connection except VGA. XD

Edit: Code for 10% at HP is SAVE10HP or HPQUIDCO

And you can use Quidco to get 3% on top.

I would recommend ocuk or scan, always had great service from both of them.
Format, if you want a 24" monitor then the NEC 24WGMX3 (here) or if you want something smaller then the new Dell 2209WA looks really good.

Quidco now 8% back!

(HP cashback seems to vary between 3 and 8%. If you're prepared to wait you can get a bit more...)

Sweet! any idea how long this is for?

I would rather order them after the end of the month once I'm into my new place.
