cant help you right now other than tell you its a great monitor IMO(otherwise I wouldent have bought it...)

I used to sell em for $550 canadian a year ago. Overall good quality, never had anyone complain. I do however perfer my 2405 as it's probably the best purchase i've ever made. Maybe you should have waited for dell boxing day deals?

not worth the price

350$ and it's not even widescreen? I wouldn't buy it. Dell has a 20" widescreen for less than that.

But of course, you're going to say "not worth the price" since you're cool like that, huh.

I seriously prefer a 1600x1200 than a 1680x1050. though I understand it is also a great monitor.

I bough the samsung one only cause my monitor died on me and I need a new one and the 24in dell one aint available in brazil yet.
