Residents of Japan, after 6 week post-order delays, are finally receiving their Dell 2407 monitors. They also get to watch PRIDE and K-1 Mixed Martial Arts events live on free TV (if you don't know what MMA is, check it out).

They reside in a land of a beautiful, ancient cultural heritage. Japan also has a well deserved reputation for technological innovation, quality and design.

The downside? A friend of mine was attending a gathering in a Tokyo bar, and he payed the equivalent of 50 US dollars for one beer and a small bowl of peanuts.

Oh who am I kidding? THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE! They have real, live, brand-spankin' new Dell 2407 24'' LCD monitors. Supposedly the UK will ship these on May 3rd.

The USA? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?...Anyone??

Two more things...First, if there's noticable input lag on these monitors like the Samsung 244t, that will REALLY throw sand in my ice cream, because I was planning on purchasing this bad boy...Second, Japan has swimsuit idols like Megumi, Eiko Koike, and Eriko Sato, and look at the lady on the screen in the picture...Why?
