20.1" HP LCD Monitor (£50 CashBack)...

Dabs are sh1te - I've not used them since they were taken over by BT and I see they've stuck the delivery prices up to silly amounts!!

Finally succumbed at 9:30 this morning and must have sneaked in before they sold out! Hope the OP didn't contemplate too long and miss out!

I see that Dabs have a DabsValue 20" widescreen for £149.98 but it's unlikely to be anywhere as good as the HP - link here. No DVI, no portrait-mode, etc...

for the last few days, I've been asking a few tech minded friends and they don't believe the lack of dvi will make much difference in RL given the other specs. It doesn't swivel but then one person who I know has a swivel swivelled it the first day and never again.

I intensely dislike companies like dabs, I used to buy lots of stuff from them then they put a rediculously high surcharge on deliveries to NI.

Edit: interesting, they've changed delivery to £4 extra for here, when I last looked (in October) it was £20 extra.

Your tech minded friends are clueless and talking trash.

DVI does make a big difference over VGA. You only have to put the same displays side by side on each connection and you will definately see a big difference.

The swivel is purely down to its owners preference. I use mine at work (much easier to work on a4 portrait documents in portrait mode). It certainly will just be a gimmick to some, but to others its a genuinely great and useful feature.

You intensely dislike dislike companies like Dabs? Its not them who have put the huge surcharge on deliveries to NI. They are a mainland UK based company and the courier companies charge them more to ship to NI. If thats a problem, buy from a NI based company then, its not their fault you live in a different country to them.

Currently showing None in Stock but price has come down by £30 - I've just ordered one for £169.69 + £9.85 delivery = £179.54

That makes it under £130 after cashback!!!

Here's hoping they get some more in stock.

EDIT: It now says 3-5 Days Delivery. Keeps changing every few minutes by the looks of it.

Just spoke with the LA and they said they have 25 Back Orders and havent yet placed an order with their suppliers (HP i guess). So not sure the delivery guide is too accurate. But very tempated to order.....

Could not agree more, DVI makes a HUGE difference in quality.

Cancelled earlier order and re-ordered at the new price. I really hope I get one!
