Great deal but I bought one from PC World last summer (was the SP2008WFP) for £79.95 when they were having their big clearance. Truth be told I think it was a misprice...heat added anyway.
Very nice monitor though.

for a 20" monitor it is pricy but if you consider it has usb hub webcam and hi resolution then i suppose its a good deal. 3 year warranty is standard for most monitors deals these days. I never head of this retauiler before but there are the reviews on google product for those who are interested in purchasing http://www.google.co.uk/products/rev...&cat=merchants strangely it went cold when posted 9 months ago at £149.25 http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/30909...widescreen-fla

I got this monitor thinking it would a good change. However, trying to get it setup properly in Windows 7 is tough. I can't seem to get the 1680x1050 resolution, only 1600x1200 which looks blurred. Even using the Windows 7 2009w driver here - http://ftp1.us.dell.com/monitors/ - Windows 7 won't let me change from the non-pnp driver (connected on VGA) to the one I listed from the Dell site above.

If I find the answer to this problem, I'll post it here to help others.

EDIT: Right! Very simple and I should've had an inkling of why things were the way they were. VGA doesn't allow for the standard 'native' resolution of 1680x1050. It took for my more techsavvy brother to encourage me to try a DVI connection instead of the VGA one. I did, and found that suddenly it went straight to the native resolution and looked much better. Hurrah! And may I just add that this monitor is gorgeous and I've stopped using my 32" tv for playing pc games on and now use this 20" Dell monitor because it's stunning. Great quality and loving the added usb and webcam features. Very useful.

EDIT2: Right, started using the built-in webcam mic for use in online games. It works well and I unhooked my normal mic because it was very similar quality AND then I had one less cable stretching across my floor! However, a real problem comes up during play. Out of the blue, the mic makes me sound like a robot randomly! And, I have no way of fixing it. I just have to hope that it fixes itself. Even exiting the game and returning does nothing. I'm at a loss. If anyone has experienced this and knows a fix, please pass it on. I'd be very appreciative! Once more, if I find the solution, I will post it here.
