Dell Pulls the 30-inch 3008WFP off the Market Due to Technical Issues

malware · Apr 13, 2008

It appears that Dell has ceased sales of all Dell 3008WFP 30-inch LCD monitors, due to a small technical issue. The 30-inch beast is now removed from Dell's official web site, until a new version is available.

The Dell 3008 monitor has been well received since launch and has been very popular with customers. In February we experienced a small technical issue with the product that has been long resolved. Currently the monitors are on extended lead times and in order to manage demand, the 3008 is not available on dell.com. We are managing orders on a prioritized basis and hope to have the product available to all customers in the near future.

So whats wrong with it? I know someone who got this a few months back!

It probably exploded into a giant napalm fireball, enveloping all in its path...

Im sure thats what the person ShadowFold knew who got one wanted to hear :laugh:

But on topic Dell's monitors are some of the best, im curious as to what the problem is.

Still on the Aussie site when i checked maybe the probs with other countries for a change doubt it but it would be a pleasant suprise.

How empathetic of you, Trip

Mine seems to work fine, and I haven't seen any enveloping fireballs lately.
I have one of the original ones, though, maybe the problem is with the new higher contrast one.

luckily - the Dell monitor im after isnt this one

the one i wants is http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1&sku=147262

but its gonna take a mew a few months of saving

got a few debts to pay off first

Kind of sucks really. Wish I had the money for that 30 inch beast.

Triprift · Apr 13, 2008

I got a mate who has one a samsung one apparently its awesome

Keiki · Apr 13, 2008

I've been following this monitor very religiously and I'm sure it's got something to do with the massive input lag and light bleeds among other things...

If Dell can fix the issues with this monitor it'll be the best 30 inch monitor *crosses fingers*

Happy with my 20.1" Dell 2007"WFP..
it's more than decent enough for what I want, 1680x1050 does me nicely

might get a second to compliment it

Honestly, 30" is too big. Just get a budget 24" and never lack again.

Damn it! They pulled the model off the market right when I am about to buy one.

Triprift · Apr 13, 2008

Yad rather that man than pick up a model that ull end up returning very quickly.

Sasqui · Apr 14, 2008

Was the small technical issue that they simply weren't selling? What a weird announcement.

TheGuruStud · Apr 14, 2008

Buy a dull, why (that's just more cash for them to keep screwing people over by selling shit comps)?

Those are just sonys last time I checked. I think I'd rather buy a nice 1080P TV that's larger.
