Anybody have a Dell E248WFP Monitor?

I was wondering if anybody has a Dell E248WFP 24" lcd monitor? I see it at Costco for $379 delievered, and I was thinking for that price it would be neat to try having 2 24" lcd's side by side!

Costco - Dell E248WFP 24" Wide DVI LCD 5ms 1000:1 400 cd/m²

Re: Anybody have a Dell E248WFP Monitor?

I guess no one has any experence with this monitor, I've read a couple of reviews seems fine for the price, I all ready have a Dell 2405 and I thought it would work fine for what I want!

True, I think I'll go for it, If I don't like it I can take it back to my local Costco, you can't beat the price, and a 3 year warrenty to boot! I'm just trying to talk myself into getting it!

Oh cool, I have a question? Do you have any problems playing games on 1 monitor and a website or other program on the other?

Thats Great, just what I wanted to know, I've been over on a arcade site playing a lot of flash games and I get caught up doing that and it would be great to have that on one screen and be able to play Stalker on the other. Thanks for all the info!!!!!!!!
