I can confirm that there is exactly 1 at the Los Angeles staples on Soto and Slauson ... I saw this monitor as I bought the 15" NEC flat panel today... I decided not to buy this monitor because I have a good one as it is...

oh and just incase you guys were wondering about the specs... it said it could do 1600x1200 @76Hz with a dot pitch of .24mm which is pretty damn good.

I have this monitor in putty (also bought on clearance at Staples) and I don't have/haven't had any real problems with it. The only thing I noticed is in the lower right corner there's some slight flickering and I didn't even notice this until someone mentioned their monitor doing it. The only time I even see it is when the background color is really light. Otherwise I'm very happy with this monitor.

I also have the NEC 1760 lcd but I'm too lazy to hook it up :p

Oh ya, this deal was actually posted on B$ yesterday afternoon and it's even hotter than most realize ;)

For anyone who said it's not $95, did you do anything short of actually having a cashier ring it up?

yeah the price at my store showed 2xx as clearance, I was bummed but had a cashier check it and it rang up as 95 :D so those yelling saying its not 95 make sure to check first.
