For anyone who has been considering upgrading, this may be a good time to do it.

Wow, these things just keep getting cheaper and cheaper. Does anyone think the next sale will be even lower, or will they start to level off?

$724.17 with shipping and tax. Does it get cheaper than this, because I'm considering a purchase.

I see a new one on ebay right now for much cheaper. $569 + $49 shipping

There has been massive over investment in LCD fabs. Expect continued price decreases, especially as the christmas shopping season nears. It's all a question of how long you can wait.

if you buy on ebay you have no dead pixel protection and it could be a refurb

That's pretty scary. What is dell's policy. For some reason I have it in my head that they allow up to 8 dead pixels. Somehow I don't want any dead pixels.

it's 30 days money back for absolutely any reason (e.g. you didn't like the way it smelled). if you get some with dead pixels within the 30 days they will pick up your existing one and overnight a replacement for free.

That is a good deal. I did a graduate assistantship for a Genomics company. They had alot of dell equipment but had problems getting Dell to comply with their warranty. Dell always made the admin jump through hoop after hoop. The admin eventually became so disgusted that he got rid of all the Dell's and replaced them with Sunray's. Do they do stuff like that to the private sector, or has that changed?

Sounds like the tax and shipping are pretty stiff where you are at. Check out the Dell Home site. The monitor is a little bit more, but right now they have free shipping, and you may be able to not pay taxes (until you fill out your state taxes at the end of the year, of course [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ).
