I recieved a fax today with specials from dell. But what caught my eye was the 24' Ultra sharp monitor for 599. After confirming with dell that it is the 2407wft-hc ultra sharp 24 i placed an order. The e-code for the fax is Q142407WHC. Just call up dell and say i recieved a fax with that quote for a 24' :). The fax clearly states that it is only valid till the 1st of November. :)

I repeat CALL DELL NOW QUOTE Q142407WHC FOR A DELL 24' FOR 599 DELIVERED!!!!!!!!!!

nice, ill see if i can order tomorro... im about $250 short =(

ill ask parents if i can borrow some cash... hopefully they gimme some :P

thanks for that,

DENIS

For general interests sake this doesn't seem to work online?

hmm very tempting, might get 2...

i just received the order confirmation from Dell. The monitor comes with a "3 years advanced exchanged (next Business Day)", I would assume this means 3 years warranty?

I tried online by going to www.dell.com.au/fax but the offer wasn't on there. So i called them up and placed the order :)

Why?? If you really want one just try. If not why you need him to prove it because no matter what you will not order it?

Sorry if I was a little bit blunt .... but I just want to know if there is any mistake or not ...

whats dell's dead pixel policy?

anyone with this monitor shed any light on how she performs?

Last time I checked it was 6-10. Which is crap, worst dead pixel policy of any manufacturer.

Also I dunno what happens if u have 12 dad pixels... ;)

Thankyou !!! : )

If only it lasted a few days into November, I might of been able to get it..

dam im prolly 2 late 2 get this deal lol :(

How come u got a fax from Dell anyway?

Seems an odd way of adverstising...

The Wiz writes...

Yes, but you can return the monitor under the Dell Total Satisfaction return policy, so you basically return it if it has one stuck/dead pixel. =)

+1, Dell rep is away at the moment, gets back on Nov 1.

I'm goin to get a refund on current one. And save myself 200 :-)

Oh, Raffe, btw. Last I talked to my rep, she said as long as you get a quote. It is valid for 48 (or 72) hours, even past the date of the offer. So if you get a quote on the 1st, you should still be able to use that quote on the 3rd/4th max.

Whim me for the reps details.

_Edit

Whats the number to ring to order it ?? Is it just the normal number on their website or is it some special business number ??

The Wiz writes...

Fax spam.

So what guys? still possible to get?

Yea I'd like to know also, at this price its very tempting....

Looks good
Is there any real problem with ghosting?

shamrock. writes...

Yeah of course. That is just like any other manufacturer.

I dunno why Dell don't do a 0 dead pixel policy anyway ay. Thaey are such a big company I am sure they could cover it easily. Spose they don't really need to seeing their monitors already sell heaps. But I mean I'd buy one if they had a 0 dead pixel policy, that's why I only buy Samsung monitors.

s3n writes...

Not really, all cases of ghosting are virtually eliminated with proper calibration.

The Dell 24" is an excellent all rounder monitor. :)

s3n writes...

Yes and no, its personal preferance.

I'm getting a quote for another one tomorrow. Yay! :-)

Then getting a refund on my current one.. YAY. Then i'll have a spare $200. NEW GPU HERE I COME WOOPP

Ugh... too bad I just got a 22" a few months ago. Such a good deal!!! My girlfriend would kill me.

Someone get a deal on an XPS please. :) I could defend that purchase.

Yeah, i got the fax as well...

they must be trying to get rid of the monitors for new models or something cos this is officially $400 off the normal price...

thechung

thechung writes...

get rid

Yes I suspect that.

Either there are issues (eg. ghosting) or a new model coming out.

There are rumours of a new model coming out right?

Still even with issues or a new model coming it, it's a damn good deal.

so what number do you actually can dell on? and can you actually can them at this time now? thanks.

I get faxes from them on a regular basis. My office bought a few items from them and I allowed them to send me future promotional offers, etc etc.

Yes what time are their sales hours? - cant find anything on the website.

Ok, initial excitement warn off now, I have come to my senses, and think I will pass on this great deal. ;)

should be around 8am or something, not sure

?G1??FFE?™ writes...

and think I will pass on this great deal. ;)

any particular reason ??

Sorry guys, I rang about this yesterday, it was a mistake and they won't honour it.

I assume you wouldn't be able to get additional discounts on this? I'm able to get a 10% discount from Dell through my employer. They honour the additional discount on their reguarly monthly specials that appear on their site.

Might have to give them a call tomorrow and try my luck! :)

elmar01 writes...

I would be happier with another 22" + $300 :)

Ghosting?

Has anyone been actually able to order one [or more]??? Because if you use the e value code it goes straight to the current price of $798.

Please whim me if you want.

This was a mistake AFAIK.
They rejected the ad on the fax saying that its a misprint.
Although I did manage to get it at $580 online, they immediately took the page down.
BTW, my order is on the way.

Read from this thread.

Then how come the OP managed to get it for that price ?? ... maybe the OP should tell us when it was ordered ??

He probably ordered it on Thursday, when the online price was $599

Does anyone remember that Dell Coupon for the 22" which made it $324? That was insane!

Yep, best $~330 I ever spent!, should have gotten 2 at the time though. ;)

Have been a few of the 22" going on Dell Outlet for $306 the last week or so.

Ordered one today - only 1 year warranty and apparently you have to supply your own power cable - not a problem got heaps of them floating around at home.

For that price, though, I'm not going to complain, unless this 24" deal pans out to be real at $600.

inquiring mind writes...

Its currently $799 which includes $200 discount. Quite possible a new employee set up the checkout for it and applied 2x $200 discounts ;)

Can anyone apart from the OP confirm this?

I'm going to ring Dell tomorrow and try. Hell I'll take two for $599. Wonder if I can apply EPP on top of the fax special code?

I reckon it's a bit inconsistent, would it depend who you get to take your call? The OP got his on 30th Oct (Tues) as can be seen on his pdf invoice, but then again we have ppl saying that they called on Monday and have been outright told that it's a misprint (on the other $799 dell 24" thread).

No harm in calling (maybe a few times to get to someone who is iffy and gives u the price).

Yeah, I want to know if people who called Dell and referred to the Fax advertising the Dell 24" for $599, were able to purchase the monitor?

Lucky you.

I have been checking the Dell outlet several times over the past few weeks, never seen any 22" LCD's.

If anyone sees one there, let me know. ;)

Thats what I did, they then called me and ask for my email add from uni.

There were some yesterday or the other day but they go like hot pancakes. I have been check it everyday for the last week til I got one.

No worries.

Lol hopfully it will still be available in the morning. :D

Damn it... Looks like I've missed another great deal.

So did the Fax code work for you?

I ordered it yesturday, tuesday the 30th of October. The fax came in at about 2:40pm ordered it at 3pm.

the number on the fax to call is 1300 884 308

So this is for the $599 price or the $798 price?

Also, can someone give the bl**dy URL for the factory outlet - I can never find it and even the site map at dell.com.au doesn't list it.

TIA...

599 price

Here's the way to find it on Dell's website:

1. Go to www.dell.com.au.
2. Select either 'Home & Home Office' or 'Small Business' from either 'Solutions for:' on the right hand side of the screen or the popup menu of any product type.
3. I wonder what does the 'Dell Outlet' link under the sub-menu 'Dell Deals' on the left hand side screen will lead us to...

www1.ap.dell.com/content...?c=au&l=en&s=dfo

just letting the helpfull WP people know that today is the last day for this deal :) i cannot wait till i get this beast!!!

So, how are people still getting the $599 price if the OP and others have said Dell are not honouring the promotion - have I missed a crucial post in this thread?

I just tried to ring them but no-one from sales is available (surprise, surprise) - I told them I wanted to purchase an item today so I really hope someone from sales rings back soon... if not, will keep ringing every hour I guess.

If I can one of these babies for $599 I'll be in like the proverbial Flynn!!

took me 3 tries to get me a sales rep :)

All i know is that the fax came yesturday with the deal, and i bought it 20 mins later :) Not sure about any other offers.

hmm... IT DOESNT WORK

i rang up, and the sales rep told me i need to send him the fax or else i need to pay $799 !!!!!

this sux =(

I just hit up my rep. Hopefully he comes to the party, although I don't really want to buy yet another monitor.

Still, even at $799 this a pretty good price.... have wanted one of these for ages so maybe I will do it anyway as it doesn't sound like those of us without the fax will get it for $599.

Someone here at work just told me there is also an Acer 24" which Harris Technology have for about $569... anyone know much about that model or whether it's worth getting? (I've not had time to visit HT or research it yet so no flames about not googling please!!)

Key difference is the panel. When that first came out it was well priced and used a superior 8 bit panel. I was kicking myself I didn't jump on it. However now I dont think there's any around with that panel and they're all 6 bit.

Haven't tried it personally so couldn't tell you much more.

So is this deal still valid????

Yeong writes...

So is this deal still valid????

To summarise: it was a mistake, 80-90% of people trying it are unable to attain the discount, however for some people they are honouring it. In essence it depends who you get. As the eCode doesn't work on the website, it is up to the rep on the phone to place the discount manually as far as I know.

seems you might need to be in victoria to be valid, has anyone else gotten this monitor?

vigger writes...

however for some people they are honouring it.

hmm.... i think i mite try a few more times...

hopefully i get lucky =D

or else its ACER AL2416WD for me :)

Thanks Vigger

Been eyeing for a 22 or 24" monitor for ages. Just waiting to strike at the right time. Xmas is down the corner. Was wondering whether offers will be pouring down soon?? Keep my fingers crossed for now. Also just heard that sammie 226CW won't be coming downunder but is selling in spore for a good price.

well, we get faxes from Dell all the time. Not to mention, catalogue, emails..letters etc. This is all because we once bought a monitor from them.. :( I wish they'd stop!

Are you saying that you got the $599 offer on the fax as well?

Yeah..
i tried this morning at 7am (brisbane time), but the ops told me to ring up 1 hour later at 8am. I rang again at 8am and were lucky enough to speak to an op that was happy to honour my request. I am not able to get more discounts using corporate ee, but was able to get it at 599 dollars. I didn't have the fax, but they didn't ask for it too. And i tried at 8:00 right on the dot, when they started working this morning. At the moment i am just waiting for my confirmation email, fingers crossed.

good luck everyone.

Did you have to fax the promotion through?

Iinetchan writes...

But i was able to get it at 599 dollars.

Sweet i hope other people can get this for that price :D Its cheap as chips good luck everyone!

heya are you able to whim me the details of rep that you spoke regarding this deal..i am itching all over to get this deal

I spoke to my rep and he agreed to honour the price but did note that it was a mistake. He said he could offer it to me for today only (standard story!).

He thinks I'm insane as I bought a bunch of monitors last week.

I'm not sure if I just misunderstood him but it sounded like he was suggesting I buy them up en masse. He could of just been taking the piss out of me, "so you can have many 24 inch monitors".

I can't really justify buying one, but thought you might be interested. I'm not comfortable whimming his details before anyone asks ;)

vigger writes...

what did you say??

something like

"i got a voucher "xxxxxxxxxxx" can i purchase this" bla bla bla (more politely of course :P) ???

or is there like a special way to approach them :P

D3N1S writes...

or is there like a special way to approach them :P

Is that a mirror in your pants?

Um, no, not really. Remember I spent a fair bit only a few weeks ago. I emailed my rep and said I had received through one of my places of work a fax that quoted the code and the price of $599. I asked him to prepare me a quote and email so that I could proceed (I generally ask for PDF quotes in advance of an order so I can track everything and make sure it's all what I want). Reps generally prefer to call you back, so he called back and told me what I said above. I didn't ply him because I wasn't really interested, just said "fair enough" but he did offer to honour it.

D3N1S writes...

"i got a voucher "xxxxxxxxxxx" can i purchase this" bla bla bla (more politely of course :P) ???

I just told them i want to buy this monitor on the specials from the fax i recieved 20 mins ago. told them the e-value code and they reconfirmed it to me and i bought it :) took about 5 mins over the phone.

Does someone still have a copy of the fax they can scan and post up?

I emailed our Dell rep to see if he knew anything about the offer, he asked me for a copy of the fax.

any rough ideas on how long the confirmation email takes ??

Woot,
3 guys from work just dropped down the cash. It's good to have a "contact" in DELL :P

Now I have to sell off the old 22" I got for $335.

Everyone keeps saying "their" rep, I take it you can't just call the public sales line and get it? Do you need to actually order it from your works Dell rep?

Just got back from Uni and was going to order but I think I misunderstood.

Just put mine through
Used Dell home ie. press 1 and you get through to someone who directs your calls (Indian woman) - I said monitor and I got through to a guy called Kenny - sounds Malaysian.

Then I said I want a 2407 for $599, I have some coupon code, and he said okay he'll put it through and didn't ask for a coupon or whatever.

I have a self-imposed $500 limit on my credit card, but things a little above that have gone through in the past so I hope this one goes through.

He wouldn't accept EPP for this price :(

u guys recieved your confirmation letter yet???

i havnt =(

i ordered about 40 - 50 mins ago

yeah i recieved my confirmation :)

Tiedan writes...

yeah i recieved my confirmation :)

srs... when did u order, and how long after the order did u recieve it???

For $400 off RRP, I think I can live without getting an extra $18 EPP discount :-).

Also can confirm used the same procedure for getting an order in over the phone this morning.

Used the 1300 number, although it didn't really sound any different to the first automated operator thingy you get from the 1800 number.

Won't believe it 100% until I get the confirmation e-mail though.

Fingers crossed and let's hope the ghosting does not end up to be a major prob.

OMFG just ordered one $599. Hows this for viral marketing! TY all, hope it all goes through and arrives soon!

yesturday about 3 pm, when i got home after work i checked my email and i got the confirmation, this was about 7pm.

If it happens, it happens - if it doesn't, it doesn't - I'm not to fussed.
I was 50-50 on whether I should purchase one in the first place.

I whimmed you before =) I'll whim you again when I get my confirmation email

just ordered my 24", spoke to Elizabeth i said i want the 24" dell for 599 she said ok.. didnt ask any details, but cant do anymore on the regarding epp.

So u guys basically just called up and ask the for the 24" for 599 and no coupon required?! I wonder if I could just call up and ask for a 30" for 599...

I called up, asked about the 24" for 599 and now the lady has me on hold D:

You're doing it right...I guess Kenny was too busy with me to serve you :P

now that the initial rush is over...I realise there probably isnt enough room on my desk for both the 2407 and my current 2405!! haha

just curious can i use this monitor to play my ps2 on? and can i use this monitor to watch tele as well?

well just ordered mine

strange that i got kenny as well ^_^

i called the 1800 812 393 number...
pressed 1 a few times, told him the code and done :D

6-8 days for delivery hooray!

he said confirmation email would come by end of day he said...
hope all is good!

cant be bothered getting it now, ill get it in late november when they have their next sale :>

Got Kenny as well :)

Didn't need code, confirmed twice that it was the 2407WFP-HC model for $599 and he said email will be sent today.

Fingers crossed!

BTW called 1300 884 308, then 1 twice.

toolfanatic writes...

Do you guys think this is a viral marketing ploy or a few genuine mistakes (first was online where they took website down to fix it - second was this fax)?

Bit strange to have 2 mistakes with the same price...

Done and dusted! I called them again and got through to a different lady, she put the order through without even asking about the coupon number :o

Wooo 24" for $599!

WHOO HOO - I just ordered mine also for $599 (no EPP discount but who cares!)

I rang the 1300 number and got put through to a sales rep - said I was after the $599 fax deal on the 2407WFP-HC.

She checked the price and said OK!

It was quite painful spelling out addresses etc... (as I haven't bought anything off them before) - not great english - but hey - for an extra $200 discount - well worth it.

Fingers crossed that my email confirmation turns up soon!

s3n writes...

Possibly ... although Dell is large enough to absorb the cost if it is a mistake. And I mean the deal runs out after today (and how many orders can they really take today).

I just got off the phone with Elizabeth, and at the end she said (something along the lines of) "atm the price is going for $799, but she'll get the manager/supervisor to put the price down for your order and if all goes well, you should recieve a comfirmation email".

so, i guess i got myself one for $599. =)

This all being said how long did it take you guys to get your confirmation email and have the money taken out of your account? The lady on the phone didn't have the best English and the line was bad so I'm a bit worried she got my details down wrong.

Decided to pass this up :-P

Cheaper to get a decent 24" elsewhere and stick it on a desktop VESA mount :-D

guys is it possible to buy 2-3? a few of my mates are interested too. Will they be pissed off or something if i buy too many? lol

dell is ringing me back... hopefully with good news...

THIS IS A PRICING ERROR, BUT DELL ARE HONOURING IT FOR TODAY ONLY!!

I've just ordered 3 at the special price - you'll need to get in quick.

Call 1300 884 308, ask for James (extension 2277). Just say you're after the 24" LCD at $599, and he'll know what to do.

Delivery is ~7 working days.

-B.

Curious as to what you mean by this.

Is there a cheaper good/better quality ultrasharp 24" monitor with the full range of video input ports out there that I should be considering?
