Dell UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1" Widescreen LCD Display for $459 shipped

Okay, so do these coupons expire after a certain number of uses(5000 global uses for example) or are they 100% time dependent?

[Cubswin]

You can never tell... and dell will lie about the terms and end them short of the expiry sometimes. When they had the end of the quarter refurb blowout i think they said the extra % off was limited to 1000 uses (if i remember correctly). Id wager that way more then that number of coupons were used.

Should I buy now or later (ie wait for a better price. It's not important for me to have a monitor before August).

Does anyone have any clue what this applies to(from fatwallet dell home deals):

Yes, it's for the XPS Gen cpu. It's kind of weird and I'm not sure what's going on,it's not exactly $1200 off but here's what you do to look into it. Search for evalue code on Dell's site and you will find a page to enter in a code. Enter the code and then you will be shown the light.

it's a good price. you'll probably find a slightly better one (around $400) by August.

So I've got a notebook and would like to get a second one of these. It looks like the only real option is the VTBook. However, according to thier compatibility page regarding the 2001FP:

"This display is known to have problems with various graphics cards at the native resolution of 1600x1200DVI. At that resolution VTBook may not be able reliably drive this display through the DVI connector."

It says that there may be problems at "1600x1200DVI". Does this seem to imply problems when connected via VGA, or solely when using DVI?
