Dell 3007WFP 2560x1600 LCD $2199 Finally Available
 

linky

$2199 plus of course the cost of a dual link DVI video card..

Maybe not such the hot deal that everyone was predicting.

of course, Dell full retail price is hardly the price that any educated/shrewd consumer will end up paying.

full retail for the 2405 is about $1,100, and can easily be had for $800.

I still think you'll be able to get the 30 inch w/ coupons/discounts/etc for close to $1,500 at some point in the near future

This is perfectly normal for Dell. All their list prices are way too high, but you can get a good deal if you wait for promotions and coupons. For example, the 2001FP is currently listed in Home and Home Office for $678. This is more than $200 more than the alert buyer can pay. Unfortunately, it usually takes a while for them to start discounting a new product like this.

Well this is a first, Dell Canada has it listed for less: $1999

I know some people are predicting the Canadian Dollar to pass the American Dollar by the end of the year, but this seems a little odd.

Is it possible to 9(?) table without overlap on this?

Re: Dell 3007WFP 2560x1600 LCD $2199 Finally Available
 

not quite. 3 tables vertical would need 1800 pixels.

Re: Dell 3007WFP 2560x1600 LCD $2199 Finally Available
 

FWIW I bought the 2405 for 890 or so straight from Dell the first day it was offered. They didn't even have a retail price up yet on the internet when I bought it.

I just purchased a 2405fpw. I will probably pick up another. IMHO, 2x24" monitors would be better than this one for about the same price.

Re: Dell 3007WFP 2560x1600 LCD $2199 Finally Available
 

What are the physical dimensions and how does it compare to the 2001FP?

Damn, and I just bought 2 24inch screens about 2 months ago...now I'm already behind the times, lol. I'm sitting here fantasizing about how nice 2 of these would look...but its awful pricey right now at around $4600 or so with tax and shipping.

I've seen splitters for this so shouldn't be a prob.

Re: Dell 3007WFP 2560x1600 LCD $2199 Finally Available
 

You can probably do this with an SLi setup, costly, but if you want that many pixels it is not going to be cheap.

Re: Dell 3007WFP 2560x1600 LCD $2199 Finally Available
 

Of course I bought a coupon and they raised the price of 2001FPs back up. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

You can't do this with a splitter. A splitter gives you the same signal on both paths. This monitor uses one DVI to control half the screen, and the other DVI to do the other half of the screen. You need a card that will handle two discreet outputs at once, both with very high resolution.

does this mean like a component and dvi card just needs a component-dvi converter is needed?

do you think the 2405 will be available in few months for ~600?

very, very unlikely.

Re: Dell 3007WFP 2560x1600 LCD $2199 Finally Available
 

curious, do you have the 2 2405s in portrait or regular landscape mode???

They must be awesome together, esp. if you have a good Dual-DVI graphics card...

Does anyone know when (and if) Dell will come out with a 30 inch (or similar sized) monitor
that CAN GET 1800 pixels vertical???
Seems like you need the 7800 GT or GTX as a min. if you are going to pony the dough for this monitor...

Re: Dell 3007WFP 2560x1600 LCD $2199 Finally Available
 

If you can afford 2200 for this, I'm sure a couple hundred for a new video card should be no big deal.

prices aren't falling that fast. the "bottom" price for the 2001 has been $400-$450 for about a year now.
