Normally $400
umm, they've sold for $279 since May according to the ebay purchase history (except for one fool who bought it for $399 lol)
even as low as $226 http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/74628
Yeah it should be Normally $279. Earliest record here at that price — more than a year ago.
Is this grounds enough for me to neg this deal yet? the last sale was only 2 weeks ago, and im sure the next "sale" is only 2 weeks away.
if this hits $250 or something, then that's a good deal. But as it stands, you're basically playing rrp.
Got it! Love it! Can't fault it!
so what about this monitor makes it worth $280? i mean i can get the better spec 27" for $225 from MSY
am i missing something?

There's a few things you missed!
well thats why i asked lol, so this is better then? im a lil worried about the 8ms response & 1000:1 contrast ratio.. is there anything better on the market?
'Better' is very subjective. The IPS display has better colour reproduction, so if you're a heavy photoshop user, then it would be more suitable than the unnamed $225 monitor.
However, IPS displays aren't that great if you plan on playing FPS's heavily (though I doubt the input lag would make a giant world of difference), so you would then be better off with the unnamed $225 monitor. The IPS monitor won't display deep blacks as well as other monitors do, either, but it is 16:10, so you'll get a higher resolution for the same screen size and PPI.
So whatever suits you. I'd recommend not cutting corners on the monitor.
This is probably the best middle-of-the-road monitor for sale currently. Excellent colour reproduction for the price.
And not to overlook vertical viewing angle - the seemingly small 18 degree difference being misleading due to the extreme exagerration applied to this spec for TN panels.
Did they remove the height adjustable stand?
I swear the two of these I have at home are height adjustable.
More importantly, can they still be rotated vertically?
The pictures in the overview section would indicate no and yes to your questions.
1920 x 1080 not good enuf, 1200 makes all the difference, no hassle full replacement Warranty, even with one dead pixel, matt screen, 4 USB port onboard, ahhhhhh just love IPS DELL monitors.
I have one of these. Completely forgot about the USB hub. Thanks for reminding me.
a very GOOD monitor, i m using mine for a few months and fully satisfied.
throw away those BenQ, Samsung and doggy brands. Get a real stuff.
$279 is a frequent sale price, good stuff can't be discounted much.
It is a poor man AppleDisplay.
High level Samsung monitors are actually quite good. But I don't suppose you've ever used one. No, you're above that, aren't you? ;-)
And I'm not sure that last part deserves addressing.

…or you can get a new U2312HM for $165 from DFO (currently 8 left)…smaller but much cheaper…
http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/product…
what does it mean "Pre-configured New"?
Keep in mind the U2312HM is also 1920x1080 instead of 1920x1200 like the U2412M.
From googling it seems the U2312HM is NOT the same as the U2312H, which is inthe DFO for $165.
It looked a bit weird for me missing the M in the model number so I had to go investigate (since I'm looking at picking up a U2312HM when I next see it on sale)
May as well shoot for Starthere / Buckscoop cashback direct from Dell imo
