Dell U2410 $419 this Wednesday

[Aznsilvrboy]

Was pretty much set on buying this monitor as I've been waiting a long time to replace my aging PF790 and then I came across this thread And yes I read previous posts from forums like hardocp etc. detailing the tint issue. I thought it would be something that could be corrected with icc profiles/calibration but Dell's stance on this issue is pretty much what steered me well away from this shipwreck. Especially this post on page 5 from a Dell rep

Yea same here, I was planning to buy this to use as my new monitor for PC and future PS3...but I'll just wait until the new HP ZR24W comes out...

If any of you DO decide to order this, do yourself a favour and get it through the Small Business division:

Same price, much better service.

better service as in we would be able to return or exchange if issues arose?

As in your call wouldn't be routed to India where you'll be hung up on, or so I'm told (over and over again).

Well, I bit the bullet and ordered one this morning, so I'll report back once I get it (expected delivery date 3/31/10 ).

Bought one U2410. At this price, it's too tempting to resist. Hopefully it'll be shipped before the estimated date 03/31 !!

The website is kind of ****ed up. If I try to order 2 U2410s from the website, it'll list the unit price at $750, but gives a subtotal of $1019! That's before tax and that enviro fee is factored in! What's going on?

Discount is only applied to one unit. If you want the discount on three units, you need to make three separate orders.

You should be ordering through the RedFlagDeals link and supporting the website. There is no difference between ordering from that to SMB as both calls get routed to India.

Ah I see what's happening. The Days of Deals discount ($330) only applies to one unit (per order). You're only seeing $1019 right now for two monitors because the monitor is also on sale this week for their weekly "Hot Deals" sale which has a discount of $151. The weekly sale price stacks so you can buy multiple units and it'll stack the $151 discounts.

So, you buy two units at $750 each. That's $1500. You get the DoD $330 discount on one unit and the other unit has the Hot Deals $151 discount giving you a subtotal of $1019.

As I said in my previous post though, if you want the $330 DoD discount on each monitor you buy, you're going to have to make multiple orders.

Ok, so basically I need to make separate orders if I want to save money then. You could have just kept it simple man. lol!

That's not what I've heard. Oh...and they've already linked it through RFDs so you're supporting the site either way.

I just got the "your order has shipped email", so hopefully it doesn't take 20 days to make the trip.

The monitor arrived last Tue, but I had houseguests and just set it up over the weekend. I see no tint issues out of the box, but I'm renting a monitor calibration tool (the i1 Display2) this weekend to get it tuned in, so we'll see what happens then.

So far, it's spectacular.
