Is that plus VAT? Not too bad compared to the website price. I think the 2007's we have at work are warranty til ~mid 2009 and about £225 + vat. Don't know if it's the latest revision though (unlikely).

Rumour has it Dell will be using viewsonic parts for their screens soon?

Yes, plus VAT but you're missing the point that the first prices are in Europs and the second ones are in Sterling.

440€ is about £280 so a bit more expensive than the £230 I was quoted by my UK supplier.
But
660€ is about £440 which is a heck of a lot cheaper than the £630 I was quoted by our UK bod.

So someone's made a mistake.

Sorry

Was more seeing how we compared!

Arse, Mr. Dell hasn't sorted my order or given me monitor prices yet. I've just left him a voicemail and told him to stop pissing about and get it sorted.

I checked, and my 2407 came in at £450, the 2007 at £230.

Mr. Dell has given me a quote and I ain't terribly impressed with it.

2007 - £230
2407 - £405
3007 - £815

Prices are ex VAT. Add a tenner on to get a 3 year warranty.

Thanks Burbs. They're higher than I expected I think.

I was quoted some more figures today but I'm not sure until tomorrow whether they include VAT or not so I can't comment on how they compare

Feek · 22-01-2007, 13:32

Best prices I've had so far are £225 for the 2007 and your £405 for the 2407.

So it's cheaper to buy a 2007 from a little computer place in Maldon than it is to buy it through a Dell account manager by a customer who spends multiple hundreds of thousands of pounds!

Stupid.

The situation has changed slightly, I'm probably about a month to five weeks away from buying so it's a good bet I'll have enough cash to go for the 2407, unless there's a new model out then. Knowing my luck there will be and it'll be a case of starting all over again *sigh*

I doubt the 2407 will disappear for a while yet. There is talk of a 2707 but I'm not sure how far that's progressed (and it'll cost more, obviously).

Did you try the trick of laughing when he gave you the prices?
