So, the new LG ones are LED-backlit, interesting....but if you look closer you'll see they are the same size as the Ultrasharps from Dell 
As for the mark-ups...I couldn't order from the US for a variety of reasons... |
Yeah, the 24" Dells are 1920x1200, so using a different kind of screen.
Interesting about the new LG/Dell similarities, you could well be right about their being the same basic screens.
Dell states in their fine-print something about sales restrictions between countries, so like a lot of companies, you can only buy them where they want you to. I don't really want to get into that whole subject, sufficed to say they've got it covered, as in the end it wouldn't be worth it to get around their restrictions.
I got a good price for my monitor just by chance, as they were being cleared out as end-of-line stock for several hundred dollars off their normal price. I couldn't resist that, even though it was still expensive, and I don't regret it at all. Don't know what I'd do now if I were looking for monitors, but I'd definitely be considering the Samsung B2440L.
Anyway, I've said my bit, enjoy whatever you've got, or get.
