Hmmm.  Does Dell read this news group?

This is obviously very recent.  Dell was showing it as being marked
down from $669 to $569 on their US web site just a few days ago.

There are 2 other competing monitors:

BenQ FP241WZ

http://www.atic.ca/index.php?page=LongDesc&sku=36800

BenQ FP241W
http://www.anitec.ca/product/7582/

The "Z" version of the Benq monitor has some features that claim
better image quality for video playback.

Basically, the Benq's are now $50 more than the Dell 2407WFP.

Tiger Direct's prices are way out of whack.

A very detailed review of the Benq's:
