For those that hate the tyranny of those damn lines, the New hitachi is a fine alternative. Ummm... do a search for hitachi....$639, you'll find it

 

[carlc]

Well, I don't know if they're refurbs or not.
But if you look at their site and do a search for the p260 they also have the black model for ~$1000. That one definitely says
3 yr warranty. The one for 649 says something else, if I remember
something to the effect of "3yr base"?

I saw this sometime last week but didn't jump on it because the warranty was somewhat suspicious.

I just called MicroWarehouse.com sales at 1-800-397-8508 and spoke with Jenny who confirmed these monitors are BRAND NEW, ground shipping is around $73.

 

[Boogak]

Aaaaargh, stop teasing me!!!!
First the Micron 21" monitor for $349.
Then the Compaq Trinitron 21" for $699.
Now this??
Must... resist...
19"... is... good... enough...

 

[The_Dude8]

when was the micro 21" for 349 and where??

 

[Sitinh]

I have been using this for a week now. Got it from Ubid for $459 + 93 shipping. Pretty good monitor. It's HUGE!!!!..but I have a problem with 1600x1200. The portions of the words would not be focus. It's not that bad, but I just want my monitor to be "perfect", so I am trying to get an exchange from Ubid...god help me ..

 

[RossMAN]

when was the micro 21" for 349 and where??

Here's the Micron 21-inch Monitor for $380 thread but the deal is DEAD.

 

[Cheese78CA]

For those that asked, this baby is BRAND NEW; as pointed out in the original post and reiterated by RossMAN.

Under warranty it states:
Manufacturer's warranty

Which should mean it's from IBM. If so, IBM's warranty policy is:
http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/accessories/monitors/p_series_tour/index.html
"Choose with confidence: IBM is at your service with a comprehensive 3-year limited warranty plus our exclusive 48-hour "Advance Exchange" replacement policy."

Staples carries this guy for $1,205.99. Can you pricematch with this place or CompuAmerica who has it for $649? Some free shipping and additional coupon usage would also be excellent. I really need another monitor and this sounds like a goody.

 

[akiraxtc]

Holy S***!! Flat Screen Trinitron!! Twin video inputs... Drool.. $ 649!!! The 1920x1440 Res @ 75 Hz res already hooks me in...
I'm going to get one today... anyone wants to buy my IBM P202 Trinitron 21"?? If not i could use a 2 21" Monitor hehehe

 

[GetInMyFatBelly]

What do you mean by dual input? BNC?

 

[namlook]

Good luck getting staples to pricematch. They will do anything and everything to not pricematch and take a $600 loss.

 

[akiraxtc]

Look at the micro warehouse description ... "...and spreasheets. Plus, its twin video inputs enable you to connect two PCs at the same time!". I don't know if it really is.. but if it's not we can sue them for product misrepresentation
Anyway, had really good experience with IBM monitors... got my P202 last year, it has discoloration in the screen (Switching colors in screen), called them and a new one arrived in my doorstep in 2 Days, and they picked up my old one!
