CONSPIRACY?
As many of you have already noticed that I am pushing LG hard to import the W2420P / W2220P e-IPS models. We might have an uphill battle with some other new information.
One can speculate why the W2420P / W2220P e-IPS models were canceled for the EU market only a little more than a month after being announced that included lot of detailed information and marketing materials at the time of announcement. Not something you would do, if this were a paper launch.
Not look carefully at the TÜV Rheinland URL in my last message (that I will repost below), and note the certificate date of issuance, 28-April-2009. Also, it is almost the same date that LG DE (Germany) announced cancellation for the EU market for the W2420P / W2220P e-IPS models.

It is extremely possible that Dell is trying to get an exclusive on the 22 and 24 LG Display e-IPS panels (for now, or at least a few months head start). And Dell is working with some very senior LG directors in Korea to effect such, and this was one reason that the W2420P / W2220P was pulled from the EU market on a very sudden basis. Dell has been known to try and to do this before with other manufacturers.
That would mean Dell would not have to be as aggressive with pricing with the Dell UltraSharp 2410W, as there is only one competitor, the HP LP2475w. The big question, since a lot of people were not happy with the UltraSharp 2408WFP, will the UltraSharp 2410W replace it? Or will Dell try to squeeze it into a crowded mix?
Also there was a second hint about another new model UltraSharp 2710W, is this the refresh for the UltraSharp 2709W?
I think August 2009 is going to be real fun . . .
