Well this is my first deal and I couldn't find any other mentions of it.
I was at staples today and they have on clearence Envision 15" lcds model 5100e for 179.99. I used a 30 off 150 coupon to make it 149.99. this is about the best deal i've seen for an lcd in a long time.

Product Link

they also had an open box one but it looked pretty beat up for 150 so if a store has a good shape open box it might be even hotter

I've been using this model for about a year, and it's been flawless! I'm presently running at 1024x768 32bit at 75Hz refresh rate on a Radeon 8500LE. (Omega 3.2 based driver)

I paid about $300 for the one I have..you got a deal!

Just picked up one of these badboys from the Staples in Lemon Grove (San Diego). If you're in the area, they told me they had 6 more in stock (this was 10am today).

Response time: 50ms
Contrast Ratio: 250:1

I made the mistake of calling my local staples first.. the guy on the phone said "it's a super deal and I'll check to make sure it's in stock".
Of course he came back and said he had none.

The first store I called said they didn't have any in stock, but I had them check other stores, and the guy told me that one of their stores had 7. I called that store, and confirmed they were there, then went to pick one up. Interestingly enough, when you get there, they have a bulletin board with all their "clearance sale prices" on it. This display had a tag price (even on the clearance board) of $250. So if they're not paying enough attention, it really doesn't look like it's a good deal until they ring it up. Then there's the extra $30 off to boot!

Looks like all the stores in TX are out. However, store #73 in Queens,FL seems to have some left. Big thanks to the manager in the Allen, TX store for searching out-of-state stores, and using every available option to try and get it to TX. :)

Unfortunately, they don't allow shipping of such an important item over such a long distance... :(

There are still a few availabe at the Staples in Benton Harbor, MI. I drove the 40 miles from South Bend to nab one. Used a $30 off $150 printable, and picked it up for around $158 after tax. If anything, I'm having to get used to how bright it is compared to my Dell CRT. Wow!

Thank You RadioActiveMan666 for a great post. I picked one up in Springfield VA on Saturday, they had 5 left. It is a great looking LCD monitor and exactly what I needed at the right price.
