Got a quote from Dell at $1800 CDN shipped with 3 yr warranty (~$1600 US). It was on sale not too long ago for $1600 CDN which makes me think they can go lower still. It's a lot of money either way so I'm quite uneasy (no, it's not my life savings but still). These guys liked it less than the 2405 (???). Does anyone have *any* complaints against the monitor?
Last but not the least I need a video card to pair to it and I don't think my trusty GF4 4200 will do (I have only been playing UT and UT2K4 lately and even that is sporadic). I have an AGP based system that's not too old (Athlon64 socket 754) so I'm thinking of just getting the 7800GS although I am leaning towards something even cheaper. I don't mind gaming @1600x1050 for now. Or should I get the socket 939 chip, board and the proper PCIE video? I don't feel like paying a penny more for the video than I have to because they obsolete so quickly (especially with the upcoming DX10 and HDMI from MS). So what you guys think?
