A good competitor to this monitor is the Sharp LL-M17W1, which is about the same price after the manufacturer's $80 rebate (sources available from Pricegrabber.com). It looks like neither is intended for use as a HDTV monitor, but they can display 720p through the VGA input. The Sharp does not...

Notice that the pictures are of a Microtek - think they are the same company. Looks like the same monitor Wal-Mart was selling last year - got generally good reviews. Newegg's defective pixel policy is very poor compared to most places.

Why bother with this refurb when Best Buy (on-line and B&M) has a Seagate 80Gb hard drive brand-new with 8Mb buffer for only $10 more this week ($99.99 - $50 MIR)?

Great for off-site backup of important stuff (e-mail it to yourself).

What a great way to backup data - just send e-mail to yourself with attached files.

Great for stand-alone DVD recorders, which don't benefit from higher-speed DVD media.

It's in the Houston ad, too. Also a no-name 17" LCD (not wide-screen) TV with VGA (no DVI) input for $399. Looks like this one at Outpost

Worked yesterday in Houston. Placed order for in-store pickup, got them at noon for $75.42 including tax. They have the 4X sticker! Thanks, OP! Also went by OM, got the HP 25-pack of DVD+R (2.4X) for $9.99 AR. Should be enough for a while.

Here's another wide-screen LCD monitor/TV at eCost: Sceptre DVI, VGA, component, composite, S-video, antenna inputs 25ms response, 160 degree viewing angles, 400 nit, 500:1 contrast $489.95 after $50 rebate. Free shipping, no tax for most. Personally, I'm holding out for one with a HDTV...

Great price compared to this Tatung at Best Buy, which seems to have similar features. Dunno if the Costco monitor has an internal scaler for HDTV. One thing to remember about the widescreen 17" is that its horizontal dimension will be more like a 19" LCD having a 4:3 ratio. The speakers seem...

Up to $665.95 now. Hope they don't cancel on you.

Mosey on over to DVSystems.com before you jump on this. They barely mention that they make monitors - their prime focus is DVD products. There's no product list, specifications, support, or warranty information. There's just a sales office listed in the U.S. Could this be an orphan?

Note the strangeness with the rebate form: Item 3 requires you to include the serial number from the box, and also to write it on the rebate form, although no line is provided. The last sentence states that this rebate form may not be reproduced. Does printing it constitute reproduction? Is...

Black & color ink ~$20 each - color is OOS. Printer does NOT ship with a black cartridge. You might want to check pric and availability of cartridges elsewhere before ordering.

Price has dropped back to $11 including shipping. Just ordered one. Thanks, all.
