Here in So Calif, Best buy has had this monitor on sale for a long time now. Either with a $50.00 rebate, or with a reduced price. Seems like one week, BB will offer the rebate, then the next week, they will price it at $139.99 out the door (this was the price just 2 weeks ago). I think BB uses this model as a weekly local ad price matcher. A couple months back, I wandered in to a local BB, and they had it priced at $147.88, PLUS a $50.00 mail in rebate. I picked one up, and received the rebate check in about four weeks. It's been a good monitor for $97.88 AR, +tax!
So, keep a eye on these, and a better deal may be had in the future.
