Robin Majumdar 2.0

Just finished lunch (dessert was , umm, 3 yogurts…)

$499 - the regular price for this UltraSharp 2408FPW 24″ LCD monitor is $699. This is a “days of Dell deals” event and as such is valid today only - I suspect it may sell out before the end of the day.

The 2408FPW is an excellent 3rd generation 24″ LCD monitor with “full” HD WUXGA resolution of 1920×1080 pixels.

Some other features of note:

• 6ms G2G pixel response time, not staggering for gaming but good enough with the right graphics card.
• 3000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio
• 1080P support with HDMI, composite, componentDisplay Port, DVI-D with HDCP and HDMI 2.1 Audio Out connectors. I recommend that anyone buying a new computer monitor not even consider a monitor with less than 1920×1080 support, and Display Port will most likely be the successor to HDMI in the next few months.
• height,swivel and tilt adjustment
• 9 in 2 memory card reader
• 4 USB 2.0 ports
• 3 year advance exchange support

… and free shipping.

’nuff said.

OK, a quick trip home and thought I would share this excellent deal over at Dell Canada today…

If you’re in the market for a very good midrange GPS that includes bluetooth technology, street name pronunciation, 2D & 3D views, maps of both the US & Canada as well as an integrated MP3 player and the perfect sized 3.5″ then you should really check out todays deal at Dell for the Garmin NUVI 360 for $259.99 - as always, it even includes free shipping from Dell.

As a reference, it is $399 at Best Buy - but we never buy anything at Future Shop or Best Buy at their regular retail prices, right ?

Over at TigerDirect Canada it is on sale for $299.
