QQQ...not sure ifyou saw my post....Bestbuy has those 17" Samsungs right now asking $499 b4 a $100 rebate....total cost is $399.99

Hands down the best store to return stuff to is Circuit City. They will not even ask why & NO Restocking fees whatsoever....I know Comp USA charges restocking for just about anything not totally sealed being returned.

thanks for the info on Circuit City - is it just me or is their selection really kinda limited. i bought the kogi monitors and i have no complaints, but id pay $100 more for a samsung... they could actually be identical monitors with different names, but if they they start flickering or something a year from now i dont want to have to start worrying about warranty issues.... honestly too, they were almost too cheap - i wonder if like 1/2 the folks dont process the rebates correctly and they make the dough back there.

hey gnome....come to think of it...you have some valid points.....the $100 difference is a huge deal....if you were to buy three of these Kogi's...the fourth would be free.....and if in a few years something happened to one...who cares....you got your moneys worth......its better than some of these other high priced monitors that will run you close to a grand.......I think one of the biggest keys to any LCD screen & its pic quality is the video card that your machine is running in the first place. If your running singles, or doubles, or quads.....they must all be the same vendor with at least a juice level of 64MB each........Anyone running 128MB or the 900 series or the new Asylum stuff???? Please fill me in...................

Valid points! Hey, thanks.
1. I believe the rebate on the KOGi LCD is limited to one per houshold per promotion, not one per each.
2. As for "64MB each"... probably not necessary. In my W98 trader, I had 4 ATI 4mg cards. In my 1 year old W2K trader, I have 4 ATI 16mg cards. I opted for lower end cards because (a) higher power not utilized in a trader, (b) less heat, so no video card fans (c) less noise and (d) lower cost. Because of heat and noise, I'd actually recommend low end cards. I've heard of those who get 3 manufacturer's cards to work together, but that's not always the case. I like mine to be not only from the same mfr, but to run on the same ATU universal driver... BTW, ATI Rage Pro, in my case.
