    Price drop again! Princeton SENERGY 714 LCD Monitor $228.99 + 30 Amazon GC. Final Cost: 199.99. Update: 1/12

    I ordered from Amazon.com on 1/13, received my monitor on 1/20, sent in the rebate the very next day, and today (2/18), I received an email from wheresmyrebate.com notifying me that my rebate has been approved. I still have to wait another 8 weeks to actually receive my rebate, but at least it...

    I actually had a hard time finding the number for Amazon customer service as well. No matter where I go on Amazon.com, I just cannot find it. I ended up going onto Google and did a search for "Amazon phone number." First hit gave me the number! :) I guess others had problems finding the...

    That is extremely strange. I ordered mine a day after you (1/15) and it shipped in two days, even with free shipping selected. I would recommend contacting them via phone instead of email. You can get any issues resolved immediately (1-800-201-7575). Since you cancelled your order already...

    Price drop again! Princeton SENERGY 714 LCD Monitor $228.99 + 30 Amazon GC. Final Cost: 199.99. Update: 1/12

    This is way cool... I found that Amazon.com just dropped the price on the monitor to $288.79 before the $75 rebate ($213.79 AR). However, they no longer have that $30 gc any more. Well, I called Amazon to ask for a pricematch, and they gave it to me! They just refunded me $15.20 to my credit...

    You mean your initial ship date is 1/14/05, not 1/24, right? You might not get it today, since today is a national holiday (MLK). Mine is shipping out of Texas (I'm in CA), so I hope to get it by mid-week.

    Price drop again! Princeton SENERGY 714 LCD Monitor $228.99 + 30 Amazon GC. Final Cost: 199.99. Update: 1/12

    I ordered the monitor at Amazon last Thursday. When I checked the status of when the item is expected to be shipped, they gave me a date that was about 8 days later. Well, by Friday, they said the package is getting ready to be shipped. By Saturday, it has already shipped. So the estimated...

    Price drop again! Princeton SENERGY 714 LCD Monitor $228.99 + 30 Amazon GC. Final Cost: 199.99. Update: 1/12

    Wow, that's pretty amazing! I believe the monitors are being shipped directly from Princeton factory, which is in NY (at least that's where the rebate goes to). Chicago is just a skip and a hop from NY. I suspect it'll take longer to get mine, since I live in CA. I just ordered one this...

    Price drop again! Princeton SENERGY 714 LCD Monitor $228.99 + 30 Amazon GC. Final Cost: 199.99. Update: 1/12

    I guess I worry too much, but I decided to call Princeton directly to see whether they look at the order date or the shipment date to determine whether the rebate meets the "15-day of purchase" deadline. Well, luckily, they have confirmed that they have instructed their rebate fulfillment...

    Price drop again! Princeton SENERGY 714 LCD Monitor $228.99 + 30 Amazon GC. Final Cost: 199.99. Update: 1/12

    Well, I called Amazon myself this time and spoke to them about this. Apparently, they don't charge the credit card until the item ships, so THAT will be the purchase date. Since super-saver takes 5-9 business days to arrive, it will definitely make it in time for the 15-day deadline. And if...

    Price drop again! Princeton SENERGY 714 LCD Monitor $228.99 + 30 Amazon GC. Final Cost: 199.99. Update: 1/12

    REALLY??? That would be amazing! Did you select free shipping, which takes 5-9 business days to deliver? If you did, it would almost for certain be late and you would need to pick them up on that promise. Has anyone done that with Amazon and would they actually follow through? That would be...

    Price drop again! Princeton SENERGY 714 LCD Monitor $228.99 + 30 Amazon GC. Final Cost: 199.99. Update: 1/12

    Looks like Amazon is currently the cheapest place to get it, since it's $228.99 AR, shipped, AND they give you the $30 Amazon gift certificate. However, I'm a little concerned about whether it will come within 15 days, so to qualify for the rebate. The availability status as of right now...

    Does the 6-bit color thing mean that I can only set my computer to output 256 colors to the monitor? If that is so, then images will appear terrible. Or does the 6-bit color mean that I can set my computer to 16-bit or 32-bit, and the monitor will only display 6-bits?
