Looks like you can pricematch and then use multiple coupons at Staples according to the thread above. If you end up getting a csr who lets you use all the coupons, you can end up getting the Viewsonic PF790 for the rock bottom price of: $215. If they limit you to three coupons, you can still get it for $260.

Pricematch Egghead $400 (Egghead offers free shipping on the item as well)
25 off 75 X3 coupons $325
40 off 150 $285

- $50 rebate (gotta go through the rebate for the A90 instead of the PF790)
Details on rebate here - http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=40&threadid=281199

= $215 or $260 if you can only use three coupons

Unfortunately I bought the PF790 through Mercata a two weeks ago so I can't use the rebate. Otherwise I'd be jumping all over this deal.

Ummm......Staples coupons are stackable???

 

[kolyo]

you are using too many codes
3x75 + 150 + 40 + 30 > 400

 

[mikee]

Yeah, you're right. I updated my original post. $235 for the monitor is still a steal. So is $260.

Thanks.

Yo cjhrph

Don't post codes....

 

[cjhrph]

Sorry

 

[mikee]

Yes, I like the monitor very much. It compares very well with the KDS 195TF.

I saw these the kds av195tf and pf790 side by side in best buy, and I ended up getting the kds from mercata. The kds has richer, more vibrant color, whereas the pf790's colors look a little washed out and dull. However, it's still a great monitor. Both the kds and pf790 have perfectly flat screens and nice resolutions (though the kds has .24mm dot pitch vs. pf790 .26), and since I paid $330 for my kds, $250 is great for the pf790. I still think the kds was worth the extra $80 though.

[MickySoft]

damn, I just got a GS790 from amazon.....

 

[DDamage]

so it's better to get it at Staples?? Then I should use my $150 MCI on something else at Amazon yah?

 

[virtuamike]

Was only able to use 3 coupons. Got it for 399.99 - 30 - 40 - 25 + 22.11 = 327.10. After the $50 rebate comes out to $277. Still a good deal.

you guys better check your credit card statements... staples always shows that the dollars off coupons worked, then they just charge you the full amount.

 

[madmacks]

hehe, got me the executive leather chair w/ pneumatic head adjustment for a whopping total of 62$

thanks anandtech! i love you guys (tear)

 

[FatDragonn]

the orders are checked by someone else other than the csr. they'll charge you the full price. when that happens call up your credit card company and dispute it. staples is sucks

 

[madmacks]

fatdragonn...

did this happen to you? oh dang, i hope this isnt the case. thatd be wrong of staples not to at least tell you that your order has changed and ask if you still wanted to buy it. the dude told me a price and thats the price i was willing to buy for. its not right for them to tell you one thing and change it afterwards...

i will keep an eye out, thanks

 

[hydrobum]

Anyone seen a 21" ViewSonic or Sony on sale??

 

[Losty]

just got one for $309, but i was kept on hold for every coupon to check validity...uggh...took so long!
they let me use 4 coupons...

THANKs MIKEE!

 

[pbrain]

well, i was able to get mine for 308 shipped, will be 258 after mir. the first csr i got said they didn't price match with egghead though(!?). so just called again and had no problem pricematching to $400 and stacking a $40 and 3x$25 coupons to get 308 after tax and free shipping. supposed to arrive the 14th.

 

[Jonnses]

This has happened to me twice that I know of--check your cc statement!
