Mac Forum / Country Specific / UK Mac Group / May 2008Dell monitors
Following up a thread a few weeks ago (I think on the 24" model), I'm looking at various Ultrasharp models and getting confused. On the Dell site, theres a 20" (2007FP) at £369, and a 22" (2208WFP) at £263. Am I missing an obvious reason for the smaller monitor being so much pricier?

One of those pricing glitches, I think - Dell are terribly inconsistent about these things. The 20" Ultrasharp should be around £220, new from Dell. I buy my monitors refurb, btw. Far saner prices. eg http://www.europc.co.uk//pages/filter.aspx?cat=53 Cheers - Jaimie Signature"Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative." - Oscar Wilde > >Following up a thread a few weeks ago (I think on the 24" model), I'm > >looking at various Ultrasharp models and getting confused.

(Same odd disparity in the pricing of those two models though.)

Oh, right - the 2007FP isn't widescreen, and 4:3 screens are getting more expensive (or at least not getting cheaper) now that they're old-skool.

That said, the 2007FP 20" is a very nice monitor and you get more real estate than on the non-widescreen models. This is 1600 x 1200 Pixels compared to the 2208WFP's 1680 x 1050. We've tended to go for the 2007FP and those of us with them are very happy. Education pricing on these is also much keener so you're looking at £247 compared to £219, give or take VAT and extra discount.

What's this - buying from Dell-boy? :-) Actually, we have a 2007WFP and are very happy with it. > > Following up a thread a few weeks ago (I think on the 24" model), I'm > > looking at various Ultrasharp models and getting confused.

Following up on the monitors issue, there appears to be a new software revision in the pipline for the new Dell 2408FPW.

Interesting - just had a quick look and I can't see the 20" (2007FP) listed, the 2009WFP is at £227. (I'm still trying to decide on a 24? - just missed a 2407 on e-bay which went for £280, which outbid my offer - rats). SignatureRegards Eddie "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
