Dell 20″ LCD Review Friday, April 28th, 2006

The Verdict

Dell continues to set the standard in affordable monitors, and at the $529 list price, this one is a good value. The UltraSharp 2007WFP is not only suitable for multimedia playback, but it also works well for gaming and home and office applications. It is one of the first LCD monitors with DVI-HDCP support, making it ready for high-definition playback.

Dabs.com Consumer Review Thursday, April 27th, 2006

 

Dabs.com are one of the Internet Retailers I use most (now I am wondering why?).

I ordered a Large Panel Monitor with Next Business Day Delivery.

Now my understanding of “Next Business Day Delivery” is the Next Business Day.

Dabs.com did not manage to deliver Next Business Day.

I think Next Business Day Delivery should be renamed to, We will Deliver…Eventually.

The cost of the Next Business Day Delivery was £16.

___________

Yes I can Complain (I’m British)

Yes I can Get them to Refund the delivery costs.

Instead I weild my ever so tiny bit of consumer power to highlight readers of my blog to Ebuyer.
