What a beautiful little monitor

Quote from nitro:

One of my old LCDs died and I had to do something quick. I just picked up one of these

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...t&productCategoryId=cat01010&id=1142295055252

I am astonished at the clarity and brightness of this little monitor. The text and colors are vivid and clear. The whites are nearly paper white. $179 on sale for a DVI connection with native 1280 x 1024 resolution and VESA compliant. The simpliticy of the design is also very appealing. Taking off the base and mouting one of these on an ergotron would take 60 seconds.

I am going to get three more and mount them on an ergotron quad arm.

Don't buy them all and leave me some.

P.S. The link makes the monitor look like a grayish case - it is not, it is black.

This thread lists many 19" LCD's for even less than the ones you bought. Samsung does make good monitors though, no doubt. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=70113&highlight=LCD
 
$179 on the spot. No mail in rebates.

Quote from volatilitypimp:

just curious nitro, did you pay $179 or did you pay something more and have to send in a factory rebate to get that price.

I recently bought a dual monitor video card at Circuit City for $40, but I had to pay $80 and send in two different rebates, 1 to the manufacturer and 1 to c.c home office. Geez, the hoops you have to go through to pay the listed price is silly, almost false pricing if you ask me. :mad:

Well, it is because they don't count the 8 week lag time for the rebate, or cost of carry either. This is a huge money maker for them because most people don't even bother sending in these rebates(due to the hassle or whatever).

I feel much better after getting that off my chest, thanks for listening. :p

Too little. Monitors are 20" and up these days. 17" monitors are old news.

Actually prefer smaller ones if I am going to mount four of them on an ergotron.

You wasted your money. The 20" screens are $200 more each, but you get about a 50% increase in usable space because of better resolution.

I don't like widescreen for trading, especially if mounted on arms.

BestBuy has the 19" version on sale for $219.00. Not bad.

I considered the 19", but I am going to get 3 more of these and mount them on arms.
