Here's a link.

There's a $30 rebate linked directly from that page, but where are you finding the second rebate? Anyway, nice find. I didn't know that Samtron and Samsung were related.

cremefilled this is the link that has both rebates.

ewwww, ... TEMPTING !!!!! must .... soon .... use .... credit .... card !!! Buying .... Powers .... fading ....fast !

I browsed the local Staples monitor inventory last night, and other than Envision, they had no 19"s at ALL ! The floor monkey said it had been months since a Samsung graced their shelves
I swear there are bombed out Al Qaeda bunkers that have more stock than they do :disgust:

Those two rebates are horrible visual quality, they print out even worse.

That link does have two rebates, the $20 one is above the $30 one. Nice found, but I like my 955D for $180!

looks really tempting - does anyone have this monitor - is it worth getting??

I have a 17 inch Samtron and it is OK...colors are a little faded but otherwise generally ok...not great but for the money I would absolutely have to have it for no more than 150

The rebate is from samsung and for the samtron monitor. It seems like it must be one of their lines unless they are giving rebates for another company.

 

[Lizardman]

samsung makes samtron monitors

looks like you guys are right, my bad. Did anyone else notice that in the description it states a .22 dot pitch but then down below in the specs it lists a .26 dot pitch. I'm sure its a .26 but if it was .22 i'd probably get it.

 

[kenja]

The 0.22 is horizontal dot pitch, which equates to 0.26mm honest dot pitch.

The Samtron home page is dead, but here's some specs.

 

[Forgiven]

I have never been a thread crapper but I would pop for another 50 and get a good 19 inch OR catch an Envision deal and pay less from staples and get a better monitor except it doesn't have an on and off button lol. Two cents from one that has a 17 inch...and by the way if this is a samsung which I have now investigated and it is...quality is not what I would expect from a samsung.

 

[propellerhead]

I have this monitor. The Samtron 96B. I think it rocks. I have no complaints. I don't even have the brightness maxed out like my other monitors here.

 

[kenja]

The OD truck will be at my house tomorrow. I hope my unit is as good as yours, propellerhead. I'm not expecting Trinitron quality, but something decent as a #2 monitor running off a PCI board. (A pair of 19s, or a 19 with a 17, is more useful to me than a single 21".)

Samsung took many months to send me my $80 for a 570v LCD, but it eventually came.

 

[kenja]

Grrrr... Just because you tape a signed release form (from OD's site) to your door, it doesn't mean the driver will drop off your order. Supposedly, it's still the driver's responsibility. (My roomate was home, but in the bathroom.)

Anyway, I noticed a $50 Office Depot rebate on a 19" KDS (for twenty bucks more than this deal), starting on the 24th.
