Advice on monitors

AdilH · 01-06-2008, 10:47 AM

Hi, i have been looking to buy a dell xps 420 system and while customising it on the monitors section i noticed that there was a £130 difference between two monitors of the same size. So i just wanted to know what is the difference between the 22" Wide Monitor (£130 cheaper) and the
22in E228WFP WIDESCREEN UK/Irish (1680 x 1050) TCO99 DVI-D?
Also could you let me know if the difference is a substantial one and whether it is worth buying the more expensive one?

by the way the system i was looking at was the xps 420 D06X411.
Thanks

Hi AdiLH,

The only options I can see for D06X411 are:

22in E228WFP WIDESCREEN UK/Irish (1680 x 1050) TCO99 DVI-D [Included in Price]

or the option for base unit only:

No 22" Wide Monitor [subtract £129.99]

yes those were the two options i was talking about, i wanted to know what the main difference is between the two of them and if it is worth buying the

22in E228WFP WIDESCREEN UK/Irish (1680 x 1050) TCO99 DVI-D [Included in Price]

or if i should just save £130 and buy the

No 22" Wide Monitor [subtract £129.99]

Thanks

The second option ( No 22" Wide Monitor [subtract £129.99] ) is for the base unit only........i.e the XPS 420 tower without a monitor.

The E228WFP is a really nice monitor and I have read some great reviews for it, I am sure you will be impressed.

oh right, i thought that the No 22" Wide Monitor [subtract £129.99] was a different type of monitor, i didn't think it actually meant NO monitor included.
Thanks for clearing that up for me!
