This is the lowest I've seen it without coupons in some time (I'm not aware of any active coupons which would apply), and they are currently in stock. Was a popular deal last time at $390.60 simply for being in stock.

Also available on sale are both 30" monitors.
Amazon also has the Monoprice 27" IPS LED CrystalPro Monitor WQHD 2560x1440 for $378.49 with free shipping, which may come out to be cheaper.

This is now currently the cheapest 1440p monitor that does not ship from korea.
Great find

just fyi, the monoprice 30s are the older ccfl panels with uniformity issues (low A or B grade panels..)

I'm actually more interested in this monoprice pre-order:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=113&cp_id=11307&cs_id=1130703&p_id=10489&seq=1&format=2 (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=113&cp_id=11307&cs_id=1130703&p_id=10489&seq=1&format=2)
More expensive (although still way cheaper than dell), and you get a higher grade panel, preset calibration modes, and a much better stand (which is also removable), more input options, etc.
Looks great, just not sure I want to be an early adopter.
