A little while back, I mentioned that OptionsHouse was offering a free Dell computer monitor to new customers who deposit $5,000 or more. (See: Whats the Best Gift Received from a Bank or Brokerage?) I had considered taking them up on the deal. So a few weeks ago, I applied for a new OptionsHouse account and deposited $5k. In less than two weeks, I received my new 24 inch Dell monitor.
The monitor itself is a widescreen flat panel display with a maximum resolution of 1920 X 1080. It is a nice replacement for the 17-inch Dell CRT that I've had for over 10 years. Although the screen is much larger than my CRT, it is weighs about one fourth as much and doesn't get quite as hot as the old monitor.
Anyway, if you are interested in taking advantage of the deal, this is really your last chance. The OptionsHouse offer will expire on July 31, 2011. The offer is available from this link to the OptionsHouse.com website. According to their website, you have to keep the account open for at least 180 days. I did some checking, and found that the 24 inch Dell monitor (ST2420L) they are giving away retails for about $220, so it is a pretty generous gift. For a deposit of $100k, they are offering a 27 inch Dell U2711 which is worth $1100. Lastly, if you have $250k to reach the highest tier, they will give you a 30 inch Dell U3011, which costs $1500.
These last two tiers are pretty steep, but I think most readers could afford to deposit $5k if they want a new monitor. Also note that you have to enter promo codes DELL24, DELL27, or DELL30 as appropriate when applying.

I read your post. it was amazing.Your thought process is wonderful.
I bought the Dell U2410 monitor for his birthday and it has a pink tinge on the right hand side compared to the left hand side. It's quite frustrating because it affects his photography work. I wonder if this is a common dell problem with widescreeen LCD monitors?
I have not noticed any sort of pink tinge on my monitor. I also have two Dell P2311H monitors at my office, and haven't noticed any problems with them either. Whose birthday was this for?
i had used a dell monitor before and it was really good. for 4 years I didn't seem to have a single problem with it.
I really like your content it is really very inspiring for me. Thanks for such a nice post. Keep sharing more with us vividtopreviewer
