I do the same deal like you and i expect to receive a new version of the 2408wfp, i talk to the Dell spokeman and he can't confirm but i tell him i would ship the monitor back if it's not an revA01... 30 days buyers remorse...

Hey, does the monitor come with a 3 year warranty when you buy it as part of a new computer systems? I know it comes with 3 years if you buy just the monitor. Foots

No. it comes with whatever warranty you purchased with the system.

Hello Jimmy, Thinks for getting back to me. Let me as you this, can I buy an extended warranty for my monitor then?

If it is still under warranty you probably can, if the warranty has expired I'm not sure, you would have to get in touch with sales to find out for sure.

Well actually Jimmy, I'm waiting for the system to be shipped to me from Dell sometime next week. So it's brand new. I'll check into buying an extended warranty for the monitor. Thanks

Please excuse me butting in here Foots, but I honestly can't believe what I just read!

So if you just accepted the standard one year warranty on the system, the monitor is only covered for one year as well - despite the fact the monitor when purchased on it's own, carries a (minimum) three year warranty (my own 2408WFP A01 actually came with four years)!?

That's both astonishing, and absolutely appalling :emotion-3:

It's the very same monitor after all, so what's the reason for it only having a one year warranty if it's purchased as part of a system?

 I honestly don't know the reason, it's been that way for 3 years. The policy is the first thing in the monitor FAQ.

What is the warranty period on a Dell monitor

"Monitors purchased stand alone on or after Nov. 1, 2005 carry a minimum 3-year warranty with an optional extended warranty for 4 or 5 years from the invoice date.
Monitors purchased with a Dell system after Dec. 12, 2005 carry the length of the system's limited warranty."

Sorry but here in Canada If you have a dispute (for example, with a merchant) that you are unable to resolve, a quick, economical solution is available in the form of a legal action in the Small Claims1 Division of the Court of Québec, commonly referred to as “small claims court”.

And believe me the judge will meet the customer claim with or without your selective warranty, just because an 700$ monitor in normal use, must not broken in 2 years maybe 5 dependent on the judge...

I'm not Canadian or a lawyer so I'm not qualified to debate you on that ;) All I can do is tell you what the warranty is.
