Help Me Choose - Dell 2007WFP vs Samsung 215TW

[IronMac]

Both monitors are very similar...I'm just wondering if there are overwhelmingly compelling reasons to go with one versus the other. The Dell is at $509.15 this week and the Samsung is at $557.99.

get some nice reviews there..

the dell is not a good choice, as for me for reasons.. reading reviews.. also depends on what panel it uses..

I don't know about you, but Dell rhymes with smells and it ain't a good smell either.

I would buy that Samsung over the Dell. Unfortunately Samsung cost so much more than their Dell counterparts. Try getting a 24" Samsung for under $1,000 - nion impossible to do.

Thanks you two...makes the decision a bit easier. The Samsung is only 10% more expensive than the Dell so it would have been hard to justify.

Go Samsung!!!!!!!!

Dells days of deals are due soon, the 2007wfp should drop in price alot, maybe in the 400-430 range. I would go with that one. Keep in mind alot of the reviews were done before dell fixed the banding issues. I've been hearing mostly good things about the newer revisions. Hope that helps :)

Oh, you could also look into the viewsonic vx2025wm, very positive reviews for that one too :!:

i must say...... DELL has a much sharper image.... but the viewsonic has a brighter picture!

Thanks keross..Yeah, the Dell days should be up anytime now, especially since school is around the corner. She wants the monitor sometime soon so that is a factor. The VX2025WM is a good option but not sure if it is HDCP ready or not.

I have 3 Samsung LCDs. They are the best I have used. Forget Dell.

Now Samsung hard drives, well that is another story all together.

At least the dell allows you to display 16:9 material from sources like the xbox 360 in it's proper aspect, which is more than you can do with the samsung.

That particular model (2007WFP) is being offered on the dell days RIGHT NOW!

Selling for $399 before taxes.

Hope you see this message before it's over!

[IronMac]

Dryluck, yes, I did!! Thanks!

Unfortunately, my sis is intent on getting the Samsung. :|

Agree with CodecX, no point of buying a Samsung just because of it's name.

I have a Samsung 21.3 inch monitor I spent about $1500 ... I regret it everyday. I'm now contemplating that 24 selling for 769.

Dell is cheaper.

Samsung is better.

Just depends on how much u wanna spend.
