Bought one at Best Buy today, $340. So far seems to be ok, within expectations.

The receipt says 5 years warranty by Ban Leong. Means go to BL and not Dell?

Incidentally, shop is actually very close to Tradepac.

You'll have to connect the supplied USB cable to the PC in order for the 2 USB connectors to work...

Heard something about the anti glare coating causing the screen to be more blur? Any experiences to share?

Thinking if hooting one

So i just got this particular monitor and additional Displayport to Displayport cables. Happy as a lark , i set everything up with the Displayport cables, powered on my PC and what do you know, just a tiny window which says no connection detected and going into power-saving mode in 5mins.

So, i switched to DVI and voila, everything works like a charm! So thinking it might have needed DVI as an initial connection, i plugged in the Displayport cable again and this time via control panel by the side of the monitor i changed inputs. It detected the connection but displayed only the default Windows 7 wallpaper. Tried pressing random keys on keyboard and mouse but to no effect. Switched back to DVI and its back to normal again.

Question : Anyone experiencing this issue? Is the monitor's Displayport connection faulty or the cable? On a side note, if the monitor's port is faulty, i was thinking that i could just live with it and save the hassle of exchanging it for another set since DVI is working . Is Displayport a better connection than DVI?

Cheers guys

Dell online shop price $439 sia. Chop carrot price. I checked with their direct store only $319. Don't know 5-year warranty how much more.

edit: 5-year warranty quoted $490. so much more not worth it already.
