    I just ordered an M4400 from the outlet, and in the Accessories page during the order there was no option to buy a DisplayPort to XXX Adapter for $15 like there is when you are buying a new one... I figured it wouldn't be a big deal to find one after the fact, but now that I'm looking the only DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Dell has to order is $59.99 !! Any ideas one where to get one closer to $15?

    did you ask your sales rep about it? mine threw in all the adapters for free. he told me to contact customer services after i received the unit, and ask them about it.

    i did, they checked with him, and then sent it out

    I don't have a rep, I went through the outlet online and never bothered to call them.. $13 from monoprice sounds like a sweet deal- thanks paper_wastage!

    Cables and adapters are some of the most marked up items at large retail outlets, always, always buy them online.
