artichokee Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I got it from Office Depot, I think it was around $100. Maybe less, I'm really not sure. I got this like two years back.

Dejon Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I just wanted to know about the shipping, do they really leave it at your door step if no one answers.? I ordered an lcd t.v and soon the 2005FP, and with the stories I read about dhl just leaving the boxes in front of your door is pretty scary.

unimatrixzer0 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 UPS won't leave a big Dell box infront of your house and Fedex will 100% not leave it, even if you sign the paper thingy saying its ok for them to because its a computer part.

digitaljames Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Got one to take to work last week. They provide me with a 20" FP but I'm so used to widescreen...flawless monitor, no dead pixels or backlighting problems. :punk: to Dell.....

Mokano Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Is this a new product from dell?? I was wondering why on their site its only $640 now compared to $800 reg. and not even in their booklet of joy? do yo think it will go back to 800 soon or something?

Frank Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 They currently are selling them, and a few other LCD's for 20% off. I think they go back to $799.00 tomorrow.

QuarterSwede Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 The only problem I have with this monitor (besides it not being 1920x1200) is that it is a Dell. I have friends that have had insane amount of trouble from them, enough to get them to seriously look at Apple computers. Since they are outsourcing just about everything, Dell service and products have gone down the crapper, in my opinion.

Cyrana Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I'll agree for the most parts. I'm a big apple ######. lol. That being said, Dell does have a great return policy, and the 2005fpw has the same panel as the 20" Apple at a -much- lower price, so I made an exception this time....

g8crash3r Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 hello, those who have gotten multiple replacements, does the 21 day return/exchange period renew itself? do you get an additional 21 days from the date of the second invoice and so on if you get more replacements, or do you only get 21 days total no matter how many monitors you exchange. i ask because the first 3 reps i talked to, they said that you will receive a new replacement each time you return as long as it is within 21 days from the ship date. BUT last night a rep told me that the 21 day period does not renew itself and that after the initial 21 days you will only be eligible for a "like-new" monitor. :ermm: if that was true it would really suck, you keep getting defective monitors and then you end up getting second-hand ones when in reality you paid for a BRAND NEW one. can everyone help clear this up? thanks alot 585085924[/snapback] sad but true, yes the 21 day return/exchange period does not renew itself and yes again, you will probably get a "like-new" monitor after 21 days. what you could do, just return the monitor, get your money back and a buy a new one again.

Cyrana Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Do you mean to ask if they'll let you send back replacements for the same reason as the original faulty unit?
