So I'm in the market for a new PC monitor. Something relatively large, and high quality. 27" widescreen minimum, and preferably with resolution of at least 1920*1280
Now Dell has an awesome deal on their website for just such a monitor:

And I was about to purchase this fine device. Through my employer, I can get an additional discount, but only if I place an order by phone.
Well, I was terribly upset -- though not surprised -- to find my phone call handled by Indians. At first it was an Indian operator whose purpose was only to transfer my call to the correct department. She got the department right, and I was hoping -- dare I say, praying -- that I'd speak with a Canadian or American rep.
Nope, another Indian.
I hung up. Dell just lost a sale.
Any ideas on where else I could purchase such a monitor?
Addendum: Had a bright idea and tried calling the sales number again, but connecting to a French speaking rep instead. Now my French is horrible, but I know enough to navigate the menus and explain to the rep on the other end that I do not speak French and asked if she spoke english.
Unfortunately, she did not.
