I'm about to click the buy, then saw your email... checked the price and Dell have theirs for $718.99 due to $180 off when buying online. 20% off for 48 hours, deal ends today. (That link shows it for $799)
Both have the 3 years warranty which you can increase to 5 with Dell (I'm not going to it's another $180) Yes, the 30" is awesome. The Dell is a slightly better model than the Samsung due to it having HDMI input, Samsung monitor doesn't. I've noticed a flickering lately on my Samsung at home. Perhaps I should buy the Dell 30" instead, and then put the Samsung at work? Hmm... Nah... its almost double the price. I'll upgrade it if it dies...
