    Seems like a great price, hard to believe I spent almost $2000 all those years ago on my 2x24" :)

      Sigh, things like this are always like that. Exactly 14 months ago, I bought my 20" for $137. LOL.

      • timmye on 29/06/2011 - 12:23

        Yeah I got that same deal as well. Still top notch.

      • kingpage on 29/06/2011 - 12:48

        14 months from now, either 24" Full HD monitors will cost $79 or 27" ones will cost less than $200

        • kimmik on 29/06/2011 - 19:10

          more like 41mth from now.

        • flipstardirect on 29/06/2011 - 19:17

          Nah, they'll still be 24" full HD at around the same price (or moar), but the technology behind the panels will change.

          Think LED -> OLED -> Bioluminescent goo -> Virtuascreens?

          Of course the old LED monitors will plummet as do all things…

    • abc on 29/06/2011 - 11:52

      They would have been the ultrasharp monitors which are infinitely better than these ones.

      Those types are still 600-700

        Yeah, I'd probably take a six year old 2405FPW over one of these. It's great that you can now buy a 24" monitor for a little over $150, but it's a tragedy that TN is what brought us there rather than more cost-efficient VA/IPS or some other advancement.

        If you told me years ago that TN would be the entrenched panel tech in 2011, I would have cried. Back then was the promise we'd now be using SED panels with CRT-like colours and blacks…

  • GreatWhiteHunter on 29/06/2011 - 11:22

    Awesome deal - even better that you can get Moneybackco on it unlike the P2411H…

  • superforever on 29/06/2011 - 11:34

    I think it is not a IPS monitor, right? Is it OK for gaming with 5ms?

    • wfdTamar on 29/06/2011 - 11:37

      It's Twisted Nematic (there is a tech section on the page). It'd be ok for gaming, just not the best available.

      • anthony on 29/06/2011 - 11:50
        +2

        TN is fine for gaming.
        You only need to move away from TN when you need colour accuracy and a greater viewing angle.

        • zeomega on 29/06/2011 - 12:20
          +1

          TN is ok-ish for gaming. Best for gaming is PVA. Fastest response time.. better colour accuracy. Only reason why samsung monitors push PVA (and that they don't make IPS).

          LoL

    Can this be use as a TV with a set top box?

    • wfdTamar on 29/06/2011 - 11:38
      +2

      Yes I did that with a 23" Dell one. No speakers though.

    • anthony on 29/06/2011 - 11:58
      +2

      Any monitor can be but you need speakers if you want to hear the TV.

      You also need to consider that there is no remote to turn the monitor on and off so you need to use the power button on the monitor.

  • w0lf on 29/06/2011 - 11:42

    How does this compare to the Dell P2411H, picture quality wise?

    • anthony on 29/06/2011 - 11:48
      +9

      Both are a TN panel
      Both have a Color Gamut (typical) of 81%
      Both have the same brightness
      Both are LED
      Both have the same resolution.

      The one here has a Tilt adjustable stand and no VESA Mounting

      The P2411H has a Height adjustable stand with tilt, pivot and swivel, On Screen Display and built-in cable management and VESA Mounting Support.
      The P2411H also has built in USB ports

      I think you will find that both are the same screen so they will both look the same when you are using them.

      The difference is that the P2411H is a business monitor with extra features on the stand, VESA mounting capabilities and USB.

  • Domingo on 29/06/2011 - 11:43

    I would read reviews on this before pulling the trigger - apparently the colour reproduction isn't great and the sharpness leaves a bit to be desired.

    Good for an office monitor, but not much good if you want to play games, watch movies etc.

    • brenwildman on 04/07/2011 - 19:35

      Yes I have found this to be true (compared to BenQ G2420HD). It's still fine for what I want it for though.

  • g12345567 on 29/06/2011 - 11:44

    Check out the review here of the monitor. Doesn't give this a very good rating.

    • CJL1314 on 29/06/2011 - 14:28

      A GOOD is good enough =D

  • Mazley on 29/06/2011 - 11:50

    I got one of these a little while back (when they are around $200 delivered) - use it for gaming and watching the odd movie - I reckon it's a pretty good picture (going from a 22inch Samsung) - the big letdown is no mounting holes on the back - may not be a deal breaker for most, but had I known at the time, I would have chosen differently, just FYI :D

  • frickendevil on 29/06/2011 - 12:05

    I bought this model a while ago, for about $200 from JB:

    -Viewing angles are terrible, from my normal sitting position the top and bottom of the screen are very washed out.
    -5ms is fine for gaming.
    -Colour reproduction isn't great.
    -The touch sensitive buttons are a pain to use. I frequently switch between a PS3 and my computer, and they are unresponsive and very easy to press the wrong section. Thankfully the menu layout on dells are fantastic, which makes up for it a little bit.

    I switched to this monitor after my 22" Chimei screen died (if anyone remembers these screens, they are effectively what made large LCD's reasonably priced). Even though it was not a great screen, I would swap back if I could. I wouldn't say I regret my purchase (because I needed a monitor then and there and it was about as cheap as I could get in Townsville), however if you can afford a little bit more there are much better screens about.

    • zeomega on 29/06/2011 - 12:38

      The thing about buying a cheap monitor is, your expectations should be low. Really low.

      • frickendevil on 29/06/2011 - 19:46

        I couldn't agree more, but a little part of me still expected it to be better than my monitor I bought 4 years ago for $250.

  • brenwildman on 29/06/2011 - 13:05

    Just bought it, hope its good simple office use (web browsing and document editing).

  • Bullion78 on 29/06/2011 - 13:34

    Buy 2 and reduces to $125 each with Moneyback and AMEX $50 discount

    • CJL1314 on 29/06/2011 - 14:27

      But it says "Limited 1 monitor per customer"

      Is there any CODES still valid to get below $100 ?
      Be an awesome bargain.

      • ccrap on 29/06/2011 - 18:42

        ignore what is says, simply update the quantity at checkout - works fine.

    • supercheap1 on 29/06/2011 - 14:29

      I think the website states there is a limit of 1 per order.

      • ccj5124 on 29/06/2011 - 15:48

        you can still add more on the checkout.

  • lram99 on 29/06/2011 - 13:57

    Just a thought - if you need only for documents etc, there is a Dell P1911 hot offer ($156) from Harris Technology:
    http://www.ht.com.au/part/Z1634-Dell-Professional-P1911-LCD-…

    I have a Dell SP2309W - which has webcam, usb and microphone - but not comfortable as a regular use device. I think the large size is the issue .

    • brenwildman on 29/06/2011 - 15:57
      +1

      Why would that be better? Currently one 24" isn't enough! With the Ozbargain deal I pay $3 more for 24" (vs 19") and delivery (not sure if harris tech is free delivery?) But they do have the 24" for $165 (http://www.ht.com.au/part/Z1636-Dell-Professional-P2411H-LCD…). Not sure how the specs compare with this one though.

      • anthony on 29/06/2011 - 16:02
        +2

        The one lram99 linked to is a business monitor, the one in the ozbargain deal is a home monitor.

        The business monitor has a better stand with adjustents, VESA mounting and USB ports built in

      • lram99 on 29/06/2011 - 17:16

        Hi - Here is a link to Dell site reviews: http://reviews.dell.com/2341/320-9327/dell-dell-professional…

        cnet has not reviewed this but were not very upbeat about the ST2420L.

        From Dell website, it seems a lot of happy users. But 24" is a lot of space - so you really need to plan your usage.

        Also this model seems to come with more cables and has USB port

        Harris does not offer price match like officeworks; but they have good tech staff . You can check your closest store for availability

        • brenwildman on 29/06/2011 - 18:24

          Well I just found these: 19" for $30 (no stand). A bit of a bargain by itself http://www.ozstock.com.au/2807/Refurbished-19-LCD-Monitor-%2…

        • ccrap on 29/06/2011 - 18:45

          look closely in the pic, it comes with a ghost stand :) otherwise you just have to hold it up with one hand and type with the other :)

          seriously though, not bad for those that have a spare stand/arm mount floating around.

    • kingpage on 30/06/2011 - 00:20

      $156 for a 19" LCD with 1440 x 900 vs $159 shipped for a 24" LED with 1920x1080. I don't need to look into the other details, because it's not even fair to bring it up.

      lram99, are you affiliated with them by any chance?

      • anthony on 30/06/2011 - 10:07

        $156 for a 19" LCD with 1440 x 900 vs $159 shipped for a 24" LED with 1920x108

        There is more of a difference then just the screen size and resolution

        If you can read INTO my comments - what I am saying is when all you want to run is office applications there is no big deal about large monitors with high resolution and there is some chance that you may want to watch the occasional movie etc. Large monitors crowd the desk and will not suit everyone - something I learnt from having one (mentioned above ). You can buy alternatives from a range of retailers and online deals.

  • 81kezz on 29/06/2011 - 14:56

      So you got the monitor + mini Inspiron for a total of $137.39?

        I just want the monitor only. They sent me two boxes and I thought the 2nd box would be the base stand for the monitor but it was Dell Mini Inspiron laptop. I checked the purchase order and tax invoice forms from Dell as they added it at the cost of $0.00.

        Maybe I may be the person only to receive the last monitor should get a free laptop. Who know!!

    FYI if anyone would like the VESA mount adapter for this monitor, I found a $21.99US + $12US postage (to Australia) one on ebay.

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vesa-mount-Adapter-Monitor-DELL-S…

    Looks like it would work pretty well. Good to know if I ever need to mount it (I just bough one of these monitors) that I can….unfortunately at a cost :(

    Order Wednesday afternoon, both screens arrived today around lunch in regional NSW. Very impressed with the service.

  • Saturday on 01/07/2011 - 18:00

    I got the "Missed you" card from Star Track after i got back home today. I have tried to rearrange a time, but the problem is you can not say "Monday 8-9 am", it will be anytime 9 am -5 pm during a day. I can't ask for one day leave just to stay home and wait for this. So compared to this, i would prefer a post office delivery, at least they open early in the morning and Saturday mornings, so i could go and get it at my convenient time.

    Anyway, I have set it up Friday week— that is the nearest day that someone will be home whole day :-(

    • anthony on 01/07/2011 - 20:07

      If you fill in the card they left for you then they will leave it when nobody is home

      • Saturday on 01/07/2011 - 20:31

        But leave it outside the apartment? No, it probably won't be there when i got home :-) Only if they can leave it to the post office, but i don't think they are affiliated with the PO.

        • anthony on 01/07/2011 - 20:43

          but i don't think they are affiliated with the PO.

          No they are not, only AAE can deliver to the post office.

          That is why i always have valuable items sent to my work. I know someone will be there to sign for it and it stops it being left at my door where it can be stolen.

      • brenwildman on 03/07/2011 - 00:25

        I called them up and you can't do this for this order for some reason. Auspost and DHL both allow it but someone reason startrack wont, at least from dell? I am also in the same boat :( Do you know if other people can sign for it?
