assuming it's not a misprint, hopefully it's a sign that the ridiculous overpricing of these high-end consumer models may be coming to an end.

A funny way to describe a monitor that is not particularly consumer orientated, and has specs which compare other brands models at £2000.

A very low price for that level of technology even before the mis-price.

Isnt the text a bit on the small side???

infernox · 13 Jun 2010 at 16:00

i want one but not enough to pay that price for it

Se7ven · 6 Jul 2010 at 13:51

really interested in getting one of these in the next few months.

would get it now if anyone was selling for 599 like they said above (anyone fancy pming in trust if they can tell me where?

)

also does anyone know a LCD desk arm that will support this beast?

It's not that price anymore with the shops (who were all part of the same company), it's back up to £899.

NormanPorkinson · 6 Jul 2010 at 21:33

Seems really expensive, is it worth it?

niggyg · 6 Jul 2010 at 22:16

I'd say it's overpriced at £899. I wish i'd got one at £599 though, especially as I could have got 10% off on-top. I'll wait for a similar price or until something more apealing comes along.

Se7ven · 11 Jul 2010 at 12:02

is there any sign of the price coming down on this?

niggyg · 11 Jul 2010 at 14:31

They seem to be going at a lower price on a certian auction site. About £600-650 if you wait for one.

Can't believe I missed it at £599. There's enough people interested in this panel we should keep an eye open for special offers - first sign of this hitting £599 again and I'll take the plunge..... Who's with me?!?!?!?!?

Me too but it seemed like a pricing error so we could be waiting a while.

+1, me as well, but I think we could be in for a long wait.

If it's going for that sort of money on Ebay it has to be doable - comon OCUK, you've got a bunch of customers buying this elsewhere and a few of us lined up to buy it if you could hit £600 here. Got to be an opportunity to do a "this week only" deal!!!

I will seccond that !!!

niggyg · 13 Jul 2010 at 21:11

I'm not sure they would make a profit selling at that - probably a heavy loss. With P&P costing about ~£10 for these beasts (I'd asume they have some sort of deal with couriers) and us lot getting free P&P too.

I'll add my name into the pot for buying at £599.99 though, comon OCUK

Well I just got mine today!!!! from a certain auction site, and I have to say it's an AWESOME Monitor!!! I am coming up from a HP LP2475w which is a great screen (once calibrated) but this Dell is awesome!

Taking a little bit of time go get use to the anti glare though, a bit sparkly! but it reminds me of my old del 2005FPW, Great colours, and games all look amazing at the high res. good job I have my second GTX 480 though!!

I will be selling my LP2475w now by the way, if anyone wants it!

also I got it for £699, not to bad sealed with 3 yr Dell warranty!
