The Dell 3008WFP Thread

[MR.B]

I got a call from Dell today and it's backordered. What?

Do you guys think that I should keep the stand and just send the monitor back? Maybe for all the crap I have had to go through.

Lol thats kind of what i did once, bit of a story here....
Ages ago with one of the two 24" Dell's monitors i had, one had an annoying buzzing, so i phoned Dell but had to go through SO much to get a replacement (at the time ALL of Dell's customer service and everything else was in India)... So after spending literally hours on the phone to Indians, wasting about £30+ in phone calls, getting really stressed, and not even understanding some of the stuff they were saying... i finally got a replacement monitor to be delivered.
When the new monitor came i told the bloke the defective one had already been picked up (i lied). Then the buzzing stopped within the one i wanted sent back. So i ended up with a free monitor... i see it as payment for putting me through all that.

Any idea how this compares to an apple 30" cinema display?

It's got better specs in almost every area, it's cheaper, and has every connection type on it your'd ever want. Dont waste money on over priced yet inferior Apple hardware.

Waiting for the price to drop on these 3008's

These screens have been out since late 07, there must atleast be a new 30" Dell in the works by now as it's getting near to two years.
Was going to get another one of these but now i might aswell just wait for the 3009 or whatever it's called, or see what else is released before year end.
