I'm looking at getting a Dell monitor, and comparing the price between
Dell direct and Overclockers UK, I can see there's about a £5 premium
for going with Dell (including Delivery etc). OCUK claim 4 years
warranty, whilst Dell claim 3 - I phoned OCUK and they said it might be
that Dell reduced the warranty since they put in on their website - so
I'll assume that wherever I buy it, it'll be 3 years warranty.

Anyway - where would people suggest I buy it from? Dell or Overclockers UK?

OCUK claim to have it in stock, whilst Dell claim 5-7 days delivery
time, but I'm not in a big hurry. What I'm more concerned about is
customer service and Distance Selling Regulations problems.

I'm leaning towards OCUK simply because they have it in stock, and are
slightly cheaper. If I need to send it back for whatever reason, it'll
be cheaper to send to Bolton than Dell's Ireland base (assuming monitors
come from the same location as their desktop/laptop assembly plant in
Ireland).

Any suggestions?

Thanks

If you can wait, for the last few years Dell have had their best
prices around October. October last year 2405's were £500 compared to
£800 now.
