Hoping to buy in the above computer in the next few days ...just wanted to ask if price is the only thing to worry about between the 24 " or 27 " monitor ...thanks Brain

The 2415 is the current Dell Monitor that seems to replace the 2412m that I usually recommend. I know they have a 27" model, but I would need a link to see WHAT 27" you are talking about. Dell has so many models, and if you aren't careful, you could buy the wrong thing.

Will get the link ...the above computer is not on special anymore grrr can you recommend a similar 1 at similar price sorry

Inspiron Desktop
$1,599.00¹

was looking at this computer yes/no ??? or choose something else thats not dell ???? have max $3000

[Brian]

I like the Dell XPS models. The Inspirons are more of the consumer-grade line. They are "Okay," but aren't the fastest and don't have the best components under the hood. You'll get 3-4 years out of one. 

As far as not Dell, take a look at the technical specs and also take a look at various threads in this forum. I've repeated myself many times on what to look for.

Thanks Brain .... Did you get a chance to look at the bigger Dell monitor ? 

[Brian]

Yes. It's fine.
