Dell.ca 72 Hour Sale: 24" Full HD Monitor w/LED $160, 32GB SDHC Class 10 $28, Wireless N Router $15
This deal has expired!
If you have some left over money after doing your taxes and need some home office equipment, or maybe you just like purchasing new electronics, Dell.ca has put on a 72-Hour Sale that ends on April 12. There are some pretty decent deals available and you can even use the coupon code L07TXSDW2NRR0H to take $15 off $100 on select non-customizable electronics. Here's a look at some of the items on sale:
- Dell Ultra-Slim S2330MX 23" Widescreen Monitor - $149.99
- Dell ST2420L 24" Full HD Widescreen Monitor with LED - $159.99
- TomTom VIA 1505 5" Portable GPS Navigator - $99.99
- Belkin Inc F5D8236-4 N Wireless Router - $14.99
- TRENDnet TEW-647GA Wireless N Gaming Adapter - $39.99
- Patriot Memory 32GB SDHC Class 10 - $27.99
- Sony Slim Adjustable Headphones with Neodymium Driver - $12.99
One of the better deals of this sale would have to be the Dell 24" ST2420L HD Monitor. With full HD capability, a decent 5ms response time and HDMI, DVI and VGA connectivity options, this is a versatile monitor at an affordable price. If you have a laptop, gaming console, or both, and would like an external monitor to pair with them, this would be an option to look into. Normally, you'd have to invest in some external speakers but, with the built in 3.5mm audio jack, all you'll need is a pair of headphones.
Free shipping is available on all items.
The sale ends on April 12.

i dont know if the IPS at 185 is still valid, but i think i prefer the 1 extra inch vs IPS.. am i crazy? I dont see the point for large viewing angle
Factor in the Ultrasharp will height adjust, pivot, rotate & has usb ports, the extra $35 + giving up 1ââ¬Â of real estate is not even a question (imo).
I noticed huge color difference playing a 10 year old game vs my old TN. You may not notice a diff in colours or at the moment need viewing angles or better stand/wallmount etc, but for $25 more the ips is much more futureproof against becoming obsolete.
IPS goes on sale once a month. As another poster said, once you go IPS you won't go back to TN.
Two reviews with customized settings (what to set everything at for optimal if you don't know anything about that stuff). First thing to do is turn brightness down or you'll go blind.

false, good TN screen has equal or better contrast ratio in some cases
TN has the best responsiveness, highly recommended for games
TN is also cheaper
IPS has better viewing angle, color reproduction
a-MVA, c-PVA have the best contrast ratio panels(3 times TN and IPS), but has the worst responsiveness
depends what you do most with your monitor
It probably doesn't work for everything, but it does discount a couple of items in this sale that I tested just now.
***EDIT Oh I see they do list the U2711 in this sale, a big Ultrasharp. ***
The U2412M monitor is interesting to me because it's IPS, gets good reviews, plus 1920x1200 or 16x10 aspect ratio gives more vertical size and pixels, better for most computer work than 1920x1080 or 16x9.
Can this be used as an access point on a G network?
Edit: Nevermind. Googled it and apparently you cannot use as a bridge.
I see the 24 inch has 8 M to 1 dynamic contrast ratio vs 2 M .. it seems huge, but again i dont know know much about this.
I see one ultrasharp has better brightness (300 vs 250), but lots of people seem to say the ultrasharp is too bright anyways, is that accurate?
Also, there are more ports on the ultrasharp, but what could i possibly plug from usb into the monitor (I am actually asking)? Any external drive, keyboard/mice would have lag from not being plugged into computer directly no?
And finally, the response time is faster for the 24 inch, but from what i hear i would not see any ghosting from the ultrasharp anyways, and apparently response time is not accurate.
The wall mount, pivot i dont care about. Height adjustable is nice, but what i ultimately want is best looking image. If its not clear that IPS has a better image (and im guessing its more subjective than specs only) for 25 $ extra (best case scenario) and 1 inch smaller, is it still worth it?
Btw, the IPS is not available anymore for 185 $, if some people are wondering. I am just comparing for next time the IPS goes on sale.
Thanks
argh, just now realized that at some point my monitor settings got reset to factory default. Probably a long time ago and I havn't noticed.
Thx.
