Hi guys,

I'm now ready to buy a good quality 24" monitor and had my eye on the Dell 2407 HC. However, I recently read that the 2408 is due for release soon and it looks like it has an improved spec (mainly connections). I've been waiting for this for probably a month now and there's still no news of a release date, or a price for that matter. And now the Dell 2407 is down to £387 with free delivery on the OC website.

Do I carry on waiting for the 2408, or should I go for the 2407?

Cheers,

Jed.
 
Suppose it's all dependent on how much the 2408 is gonna cost. I've got a 2407 A04 and I'm more than happy with it, I'm looking at possibly going dual screen with a second 2407 (would have to be the HC one though :o). Great screens though, I'd say you'd be more than happy with the current 2407. I'd imagine the 2408 would be more expensive anyway.
 
It's the not knowing that's frustrating. If I knew how much extra and when it was coming out then I could make a decision. I just know that if I bought the 2407 now, then the 2408 would come out next week at the same price lol.
 
>__< that would be painful lol. When I got my 2407 I paid £450, next month it had gone down to £400 or so, I was a bit gutted about that, had other stuff I could have bough :( :D
 
plus the premium for a brand new item

Does look great though, with dvi and hdmi - pity there isnt a displayport though (just because I would like ot test this connection myself)
 
Total £562.83

incl. VAT, shipping

Dunno where these wild prices are coming from ;)

Like said before expect £550-600, hopefully Ocuk will get em @ great prices

Whoa thats really expensive... in my opinion... think I might grab the 2407 after all :)
 
I think Dell have stopped all the "sell it direct" farting around and will be hawking their wares at many more places - hopefully this means they'll sell some of those awesome new screens to Ocuk :D:D:D - EDIT - I meant to say which will hopefully mean better prices for all
 
It says in those specifications it has a 3000:1 contrast ratio. Is that right? Other specs I've seen mention it's 1300:1. Also, any clue as to what panel type it's using?

I hope that's right, as Dell refuse to sell me anything VAT free. I'd only be able to buy it VAT free from retailers. I've a feeling I'll have to wait about 6 months before I see it out here :(
 
HI there


The DELL 2408WFP-HC is now available from OcUK on pre-order with stock due in 2-3 weeks. Its quite a bit more expensive than the 2407WFP-HC as the 2407WFP has been reduced considerably in price to clear stock by DELL and ourselves and even though OcUK is £100 cheaper than DELL for the 2408WFP its still quite a bit more than the 2407WFP which were currently offering at a very low price.

If you want to guarantee yourself one of these from the first delivery then pre-order now and OcUK is the first to put an order in with DELL for this amazing panel and as such we shall have stock first in the UK and be able to ship via next day delivery:-
