Hi guys,
I just purchased this monitor [dell.com] directly from Dell's website for $399.99

I spoke to Dell's customer support chat and asked them if they can price match this monitor to the price that was showing up on this Microcenter webpage. [microcenter.com] Thank you to a user named Americus for finding that Microcenter page.

I was expecting them to say no since Microcenter's website says "In-Store Only", but to my surprise they said yes, and they price-matched the item.
I have attached my chat conversation with the Dell support agent in case you would like to view it. I really hope you guys are able to duplicate this deal as well.
P.S. This is my first time posting a deal, so I apologize if there are any errors with my post!



Here is the chat log with the Dell customer support agent. I removed my personal information (address, phone number, etc) from the log. I apologize if the formatting isn't great.

I had to pay my local sales tax which is 6%, so the taxes were $23.99 (total was $423.99)

Didn't have to pay for any shipping. Apparently I got free expedited shipping because it's arriving in 2 days from now.

If only it wasn't a TN panel. I looked at this particular model at Best Buy but couldn't get past the dull, washed out color of the TN tech. I ended up going with an Asus ROG IPS monitor (albeit at double the price). It's still a good deal for a G-Sync monitor.

Yeah I researched this monitor quite a bit and throughout my research I found that most people said that this monitor looks really good for a TN monitor. Supposedly this is one of the only TN monitors that looks almost like an IPS monitor.

I haven't seen the monitor in person yet, only in YouTube videos, so I don't know how it'll look in person. I hope it looks as good as people say it does.

Sadly it's a NO for me.
They said they dont price match "In-Store Only"

In their website it does say that also.

Same, can't deal with TN after having IPS for so long. Having said that, G-sync prices are ridiculous. Have a PNY 1070 but will probably flip for a comparable Vega and pick up the Nixeus 1440P 144Hz IPS for ~450. The G-sync premium you paid is nearly another 1070 in itself!

Damn, I'm really sorry man
All I can think of is to try again to speak with a different representative. I'm not sure if it'll work but it's worth a try.
