If you're Canadian and you need a monitor today, this is on sale (Dell Days of Deals). Regular price of $699, it is on sale for $429.99. What a killer monitor. Definitely my #1 pick currently, and at this price it is unbeatable. Very few cons here! Sadly I only have the money to buy one. Hopefully a 2009 version will include LED backlighting and I will have enough cash to splurge on 2 in the next round of deals.
