If it's saying redeemed, I'm guessing it's been used up. I would try calling Dell. Play dumb. Say you had it working yesterday and today when you went to place the order, it won't work. I'd say there is at least a 60% chance they can make it happen.

Dammit. That means I have to buy one now.
Although I have been strongly considering getting the White Westinghouse 17" widescreen from bestbuy at $299 (on sale last week for $249). It is white.
EDIT: I guess they have been all redeemed. I guess thats good in that I am not spending the money. But now I am sad.
where is there a website where i can monitor deals on this particular monitor?
I NEED TWO OF THEM!

Could you let the board know if this worked or not? I'm debating whether to spend the time doing the same thing meself, figured I'd wait and hear from you. Thanks!
I'm going to call as soon as I get off work. I'll let everybody know if it works or not, and what to say to them if it does
Wish me luck!

Well, I called up the customer support people, told them my tale of woe, and they very politely informed me that that couldn't help me out. There is still an automatic 35 percent off the monitor for home users, and you can still do the 60 dollar discount, as well, so it's still pretty damn cheap. Five percent can make a difference, though. I'm thinking I may wait and see if they do something bigger right before school starts up again...

The $60 off does not work right now for some reason.
Dell was nice enough to give me back $50 from my order. The monitor was $434 I paid $476 with tax, they gave m $50 makes mine $426----not bad because tax was around $50 and some $8 environmental fee.
Just got my monitor today, it's soooooooo pretty. I think I'm gonna try and hook my x-box up to it later.
the 389 is without any tax
the one in euros should have the 21% included, right?
i'm an american in brussels and i have to laugh at some of the prices. i'm thankful i can get items thru the us mail system called apo. then again, your beer is cheaper and while america has some good beers, there are very few like almost all here, we won't even go with the chocolate.

I'm about to buy the same... only for a erm.... slightly (
here in Belgium: 1 Dell 2005FPW (straight from www.dell.be): EUR 724,79
or... buy 2 at the same time and get 50% discount on the second one: EUR 1087,19/2 = EUR 543.60.
Compare that to USD 389! That's ~EUR 332 !!!!!
so these are the monitors that use the same lcd as the apple ones, eh?
does dell have a 23" monitor?
does dell have a 23" monitor?
which do you think would be best for an animation workstation, two 20" monitors or one 24" monitor?

Honestly, for 2 montors, I'd probably go with 2 2001FP (non-wide) instead of the two 2005FPW. They were I think about $60 more or something.
But to answer you question, I think 1 24" is probably better. Isn't 2 20" going to be way too wide?
