DELL uses pricing based on some unknowable calculus based on competitor products. So they show their monitor as a "sale" relative to competitor XYZ's monitor.

DELL uses pricing based on some unknowable calculus based on competitor products. So they show their monitor as a "sale" relative to competitor XYZ's monitor. Reality is that the product is just cheaper and worse than the competitor. This computer was purchased based on one of these "sales". In terms of raw performance, it seemed like a decent deal. It was not. The issue isn't just their monitors, so I am a bit confused as to why this fine singles out monitors.
