Okay, this is NOT in any way an Dell Flat Panel vs Cinema Display arguement, and if it turns out that way I'm going to be disappointed in this community, once again.

For those who bought them, how much did you spend on your 20" Widescreen Dell Monitor? Twenty-Four'inchers chime in if you wish....

Right now on dell.com the cheapest I'm seeing is $434. eBay isn't doing any better. I realize that is cheap, but I'm just curious where in the cheap arena I'm fitting into. THANKS!

I just ordered one from EastTrades.com for $419 -- but it's backordered, so who knows when (or if) I'll get it... I thought that price could possibly be too good to be true, and so far it is!
 
I ordered mine in July for $436, then got a refund for $30 from Dell. It retailed at the time for $695. Some people were getting them for as low as $383 with stacked coupons at the time, hence my refund.
 
My first 20-incher was $645. It was about 4 months before it first dipped below $500.

The second was $356 during the last sale. I then sold my first one to my roommate for $315 (I'm a nice guy). I should've bought two.
 
I paid $367 - $30 coupon in November '05 = $337 with tax FLAT. This was in late winter when Dell had thrown around a rare 30% off code for the 20" 2005fpw LCD.
 
Got 2

The first one I got for $450 last February

The second one I got in November for $330

Both of them I got using sale codes

are these flat panels ideal for gaming? i want it for hard core stuff like unreal tournament 2004....

I don't have any problems at all with FPS like Counter Strike and Halo. Go for it!
