Hi Suresh.

I went to DELL's gigabuys and killerapp sites and compared prices for three SONY monitors that I was interested in. See for yourself.


=================DELL=================Killerapp(buycomp.com)
CPD-520GS=======$1009.95=============$872.95
GDM-500PS=======$1089.95=============$998.95
GDM-F500========$1869.95=============$1614.95



DELL is about 10% higher and since I have to pay state tax, it is ~18% higher.

Why should I buy from DELL?

I was also thinking about how they are going to handle inventory. Managing inventory and keeping 7-day turns for their current biz focus which is selling PCs with a limited number of components is much different than offering 1000s of h/w & s/w products with high cost and unpredictable demand. When you buy a PC from them, they have some of the pieces like surge protector drop-shipped. They may try to do the same as much as they can and act as a middle man with a hot web site.

I don't know. Maybe I should go over the DELL thread and ask.

Clint
