hi.. i want to know how good are these deals.. i m in India.. am i too extended this offer.. price, free shipping etc.. anybody in India has benefited from this?..
 
I have to have 1920X1200 res, nothing less. That's what I am using now. This monitor goes for about what I paid for my 24" 1920X1200 used. Wouldn't trade it.
 
@ teklord
Agreed, I can't use anything else then 1920x1200, feels so primitive after you have tasted the bigger resolutions.
 
I found this website this morning by accident, saw the fantastic deal at Dell for a 24 inch display for $160.00, and missed it by a little over 6 hours, or less depending on which time zone Dell went by.
I will forever keep techspot.com alive on all 5 of my workstations. And I wont be anonomous for long.

Thanks.
 
1920x1200 isn't that much better than 1080p, and 120 extra pixels isn't worth the giant spike in price.
 
Some games like emulators run in 4:3, so it is nice having that run in 1600x1200 for example. Other programs take advantage of the 1920x1200 res too.
