If you are in the market for an IPS display this is a good deal. If you don't care or know about the difference between IPS and TN, and just want a 1080p monitor, then this deal isn't intended for you.
I apologize, I did a search before I posted it but I didn't see that post.

I'm very tempted - I had an i-inc monitor & this U2412M for a dual setup, and the i-inc just died. This is a really tempting price to replace the dead monitor with an identical clone of what I already have. Should I get this & have 2 U2412M's, or upgrade to a UltraSharp U2711 or HP Promo ZR2740w? Choices choices...
FW CashBack for Newegg says "1.5 - 3.0% back". Which number applies here? If it's 3%, that's an additional $8.67 off, making the total ~$280. That's pretty darn low for this IPS monitor.

hrm the u2412 is a mini of the u2410 which is the true ultrasharp i heard. The true 2410 has hdmi (this one doesnt) and has audio out.

That's not all. The U2410 has a much better color spectrum and has an 8-bit panel instead of the 6-bit panel in the U2412.

Essentially the U2412M is the intermediate-quality IPS monitor, and the U2412 is the high-quality IPS monitor. Both are much better than typical TN panels for color.

1.5% is the Cash Back on this, even then this is a hot deal. Was able to snag CS6 for $249 the other day will work well together.

Have had this monitor for about a year and am going to get another one. This is a great [expletive deleted] monitor. Hands down the best flat panel out there for the price. Green yesterday, green today, and green tomorrow for this monitor at a price like this. Heck, I might buy 2. This monitor IS that good.

Can anyone speak to how this monitor compares to the HP ZR2440w? I've heard the HP has a sharper picture, but I've also owned Dell monitors before and liked them.

GOod deal op. Nice to see deals on IPS monitors. Been thinking about biting.
How do these compare to the e-ips and cheapish new IPS monitors just coming out now?

Just checked and the 21.5 inch (U2212hm) and 23 inch (U2312hm) versions of this monitor are still available for $189 and $199, respectively, after coupon at Dell as detailed in this thread: U2212hm / U2312hm deals @ dell.
My understanding is the 23 inch is a 16:10 monitor, and that the 24 inch in the current deal is a 16:9 monitor. Both panels have the same number of horizontal pixels, while the 24 inch gives you slightly more vertical pixels.
Depending on your application, the 23 inch at $199 is the clear winner of price vs size ratio.
