I had not considered that option. However, I was at Costco last night and there happened to be a Dell 27 monitor there. I may have jumped the gun in buying it. The price was reasonable at $139, but when I got it home I realized that I could not see if it was an LED model. Which is what I read in Damien's recommendations that I needed. So...long story. I kept it in the box, unopened in my car last night. I had happened to transport some ice back there as well yesterday for food.....Well, as I was looking at one of the bottom corners of the box, there is a water line! Of course the water did not reach the inner packaging or monitor, but still doesn't look so good if I needed to return. I cannot for the life of me, find out if this is an led model?? I entered the serial number onto the dell site and it is not coming up! lol Do you think I will have to take it out of the box to find out if it is an led model? All the outside of the box says is ~ Dell 27 Monitor 1920x1080 Display, HKMI 101. My desk is not the biggest to put 2 monitors on it. Another problem is on the right of my current monitor, on a shelf behind it, is my printer.
