As far as this unit goes (yes, I've been following), this price is more than tepid.

[ETLA]

am I missing something or do I just don't know what you just typed??? sorry what is tepid?

 

[Mixxen]

lol, I posted the definition of tepid...since I too did not know the meaning of it.

 

[SUOrangeman]

ROFL!!!

With the $50 off coupon, this is the best upfront price that I have seen on this monitor. The $30 rebate just makes it even better.

Find this unit for $100 is extremely hot, but a final price of $250 is more than tepid.

Excellent find. I've been looking to go for a 19&quot; monitor for some time. All the better, its a Samsung. Lay down the boogie and play that funky deal till you die!

 

[JKurtz]

FYI: Some people have reported problems with Samsung and their exchange policy for defective merchandise.

Seems that Samsung's policy is to send a refurbished unit for its replacement.

Point being: If you wanted a refurb, you could have gotten a better deal buying it refurbished out-right. This doesn't mean that the one you'll get will be bad though.

A few caveats I saw when I was shopping for a monitor:

Some have found this monitor to be too grainy.
Also only does 75hz max at 1280x1024.

However, it's still a good price.

 

[ETLA]

any other good minotors out there?

 

[SUOrangeman]

ETLA,

I had been pricing this Samsung and the NEC AS95F as they are roughly the same price (pre-rebates and coupons). I think the NEC maxes out at 76Hz on 1600 X 1200. (Samsung only at 65HZ with the max res). The only knock I read on the NEC was that it didn't play nice with nVidia cards. I haven't bother to verify.

The 950p is a better monitor, at least the specs are. I just bought it for 290-25 at onvia when they had that coupon, for 265, not the best price (mercata, 250 or something) but no rebate, no shipping, etc.

 

[Mixxen]

Which monitor is better for image quality? Color, sharpness, screen flatness? I don't mind the refresh rates, since I'll probably use 12x10 @ 80 Hz.

 

[holygolf]

I had a Samsung 950P ( 289(PM w/ onvia) - 40 coupon = total $268 w/tax ) from staple for 2 weeks. It was good. But it is not a flat Screen. I gave 950P to my brother and I order the Samsung 955DF for me.
I hope 955DF is good as 950P .

 

[FrontlineWarrior]

Hey guys THIS IS HOT
it's the lowest price since the Onvia -coupon -rebate -pointclick = $257
If you're looking for a monitor, it's worth it.

[Mixxen]

I guess the cheaper price sucks.

 

[WoundedWallet]

I will not buy a 19&quot; monitor that does not do at least 75MHz at 1600x1200.

My two year old cheapo CTX does that, and I can't conceive why a newer and more expensive monitor can't do the same. Unless it is even cheaper than my cheapo.

Thanks for letting me know about this drawback.

 

[complex]

this is a quite-a-bit-more-than-tepid deal. i really like my 753df.

I picked up the 950p for $259 shipped from amazon. This looks to be a good deal on a respectable monitor. The specs are better than the 955df. Its just not a flat screen. Only 4 days left.

It's $318 now. I used Amazon GCs and 'paid' $350.

Does Amazon offer price protection for those of us that bought it there at a higher price?
Same store, same product, new lower price= scr3wed?

Anyone have experience with them on this issue?

 

[Wolverine27]

Sorry in advance, if this is a stupid question...

What is the $50 off $200 coupon??? Is this from Amazon or somewhere else? Please help.

Many Thanks!

 

[Mixxen]

Go to techbargians or fatwallet for coupons.

This is a pretty good deal, no string attached like all the floating Staples deals. It is a flat face monitor, but don't expect to run it at 1600x1200 unless you are immune to flicker. I find that resolution to be a bit useless on 19&quot; monitors.

Specs
.20 horizontal dot pitch = .24 diagonal dot pitch
Flat Invar Shadow Mask
1280x1024 @ 80Hz
1600x1200 @ 68Hz

The 950p does have better specs, but it has a larger dot pitch and it is not flat faced.

Pretty good buy if you are on a tight budget and want a decent quality 19&quot; for under 250.

Only 3 days left for free shipping! After that, expect to pay at least $30 more.

 

[Wolverine27]

This deal is now even better through Onvia with the $40 off $200 coupon. Just ordered one for $227.94 delivered.

$297.94
-$40.00 (coupon)
-$30.00 (Mail in rebate)
FREE Shipping

Total---> $227.94

I've got the Samsung 955DF on order at Amazon.com, I've waited 3 weeks now still not shipping.

Price I am supposed to get it for tho is $266.00 - $50.00 = 216.00 - 30 MIR = 186.00, this is w/ free shipping.

Problem is, when will this monitor ship?

sux.
