OK, so I realize I’m a bit late with this, but Dell Canada is having one of their “Days of Deals” events and today is day 5. I used to highlight one hot deal (IMHO, of course) for each day.. but let’s face it, they aren’t as hot as they used to be – nothing new if you follow Canadian deal sites such as RFD and Canucks.

But… today, they once again have the Dell UltraSharp 2709W 27” LCD monitor supporting 1920×1200 pixel resolution, all the input connections (HDMI, DVI, and yes – displayport) as well as 5 USB connections, an S-PVA panel, and so much more.

I wrote previously about reviews of the Dell 2709W so if you use the search feature on the top to look for my previous articles and reviews of the Dell 2709W, you’ll see that it’s been $549 and $599 so far this year.

It’s at $599 today only (until 6:00 a.m. EDT Saturday morning)… as I’ve mentioned before, I have actually used this monitor for over a year. OK, not this exact one, the 2707WFP… summary ? I love it.

BTW, Dell is experimenting with lightbox display of their promos (mistake, Mike Dell) and it’s causing so many XML errors that they have a “click here if this page isn’t displaying” option. The above link should work ok.

Wait ‘til you run it with Windows 7 :)

11 Jun 09 Kingston SNV125-S2BN/64GB 64GB SSDNow solid state drive for $126.99 at Newegg Canada

kingston_ssdnow_v-series-64gb-ssdA pretty hot deal over at Newegg Canada for the Kingston SNV125-S2BN 64GB SSD drive… it shows $136.99, but if you apply the coupon code CEMCLTML39 it takes it down to CA$126.99. A good deal for a SATA II, 2.5″ notebook drive…

Your call if the benefits of an SSD drive outweigh the price difference compared to regular mechanical drives. The specs claim 100MBps sequential read with 80MBps writing speed.

That’s a pretty good deal considering the same drive is US $134.99 on Amazon.com US $134.99 on Amazon.com

24 Jan 09 Is the Logitech Harmony 890 better than the Harmony 880 ? Yes – but… a review shortly

Harmony® 890 Advanced Universal Remote

So I have spent a year with my Logitech Harmony 880 Universal Remote Control… and of course, now Logitech has unleashed the Harmony® 890 Advanced Universal Remote.

Is the Harmony 890 worth the $349.99 (US dollars) price? Of course not.

16 Jan 09 Dell 3007WFP-HC 30” 2560×1600 LCD $899 shipped – January 2009 Dell Days of Deals in Canada ROCKS ! Wow… awesome reviews.

As much as people in the online communities have been bitching (excuse my language) over the previous few Dell Days of Deals being lame and not worth the effort of waking up at 6:00am to be first to see the daily bargains.. they certainly have outdone themselves in this January 2009 edition of the Small Business DOD event.

I wrote previously about the 2709W at $599 down from 999, and the 2309W at $169 (!) and today they pulled out their flagship 3007WFP-HC for $899 today only – down from $1599.

Yowsa. Obviously, that will cost you over $1000 with taxes for a monitor, but this isn’t just any monitor. 2560×1600 pixels of native resolution. 92% colour gamut. Wide cold-cathode fluorescent lighting (W-CCFL) backlight. 178 degree viewing angle. 8ms gtg and 12ms btb pixel response time. 300 cd/m2 of brightness.

For $899, this is a steal. Please, if you think that this is expensive because you can get a 42” or 50” HDTV display for around the same money – this is a computer monitor with far higher resolution (and quality, not mention input options)…

You will also need a pretty serious graphics card to drive this 2500x1600px monitor hard enough to make it work well.

That said… I would gladly have one… (OK, I’m spoiled by my 2707…)

OK you want more reviews:
