Dell 24" Monitor - Brand spanker...Selling

[Hazelb]

Guys

I have just ordered a new system, direct from Dell. It came with a 24" monitor which my better half thinks "to big" for the living area as that is where my puter sits.

Was wondering if I can ot get the deal reversed that my next best option would be to sell it.

Its obviously brand new and retails for $499 on the dell site. Its a E228WFP ,by all accounts a reasonable monitor.

At this point happy to accept around $400 for it or best offer, I am happy to pay freight costs to a point!

Is their anyone out there that is looking for an upgrade?

Obviously its all Dependant on what DELL say re my request to replace it with a 22" as my order has been shipped.

PM me if you are interested!

Wait for it to arrive before replacing it, you and the better half will soon realise how you couldn't have lived without widescreen before

24" too big for the living room I've got a 50" plasma in my bedroom and I think its too small!

wait until you get it and try it, then make up your mind

A perfect example of not reading the thread.

I think he read it. I agree it's an enigma how can it be too big. I love my 24" all the way

Haze is being told what the go is by she who must be obeyed. I went through something similar a while back. I was going to throw a little 7" screen adapter from a mini DVD player in the kitchen/dining to run a media player. Would have been awesome for the bride to play music on, but nope, no go. So I know what Haze is going through. Oh the pain!

I think you're all misunderstanding the most important part of his post:

Theres not going to be any discussion entered into a decision like this, the decision has already been made! No point in waiting and seeing, cause she already knows that she thinks it's too big!

Edit: Great minds think alike.

I think you guys need to learn the finer points of "getting big screens and other gadgets into the house"
I can always (well, almost always) get my better half to understand the need for all these stuff

I'll hold seminars, for a friendly fee

ehhh, i did read it, my bedroom where me and my girlfriend sleep currently house 1 x 50" Pioneer kuro and 2 x 24" Dell LCD's, each time she complained that it was too big when we got it, but give it 2 weeks and she started to love it and now she complains that the TV is too small guess im waiting for the 9th gen Kuro to come out to grab a 60" screen

what I mean get your wife to use it for a couple of weeks and then if its still too big sell it then, but Im willing to bet she will get use to it and wouldn't want to use a smaller screen again!

Typo from me...

Its an E248WFP, or somefin like that!

[ysu]

the 228 if you order with a system costs $200 only, otherwise something near $400, so yeah the price gives it away as the lower specced 24" model

[Montey]

Just accept the fact that your going to get bollocked-out no matter what you do. Once you accept this, you can easily justify just doing what you want and at least getting told off for a real reason, rather than some figment of her imagination.

Scenario:
Him: "Hey honey, look at this kick arse huge TV I just go us. It's 60" of Full HD lurve!"
Her: "What the hell are you wasting money on that, you didn't ask me whether you could spend that, how much did it cost, you never ask me first, your completely inconsiderate and don't value me and my opinion! I'm going to my mothers, don't talk to me you bastard!"

two days later...
Her: "Hey honey, Barbera at work just loaned me this HD blueray disk, can we watch it on the new TV cos it'll look great?"
Him: "Of course you can dear, but we don't have a blue-ray player. Do you have a copy on standard DVD?"
Her: "Why the hell didn't you get a blue ray player, now I can't watch my movie. If you'd asked me in the first place youd have got the player as well, you never consult with me, your completely inconsiderate and don't value me and my opinion! I'm going to my mothers, don't talk to me you bastard!"
Him: *ring-ring* "Hey Frank, you wanna go the pub and shoot some pool?"

Think the 22" is $399, with the 24" retailing at $499.

From the reviews I have read, both appear to be reasonable monitors...

yup and the 22" model is on sale if you buy a system. it's using one generation older panel (5ms one) and so it cost me a whopping $200 now. Got one for gf, while I bought a lappy for myself

[pixelboy]
