After seeing his I really wanted to get one. Being a film major I'm all about the wide screen aspect but it was $150 more. After seeing this article I linked off of James url and I found the 20.1" wide screen lcd for $549. I immediately bought it. Thanks guys for the info.

However, if you go to this link: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=320-1578&category_id=4058 then they have it for 549 w/o tax. No coupon needed.

Last month Dell had it for $479. My buddy just picked up the widescreen version a few weeks back for $529 w/o a coupon code by simply CALLING Dell and asking a sales guy for a deal, LOL. But regardless... $529 is still a great price for this excellent monitor :) This is at the upper end of the “deals” for this monitor that have been around recently. Last month Dell had it for $479.
