My Thursday circular has the very nice KDS Avitron (trinitron/true flat screen)monitor listed for $279 minus $80 mail in rebate for a final price of $199. If this is true this could be a potential scorcher!

Anyone elses fliers say this?

I checked their website, but didn't find any 19" Avitron. There is one 17" avitron. Maybe it's a misprint.

Well, upon further review the title says 17" inch Flat Screen model or 19" Monitor
meaning that the 19" is not a flat screen I guess.

But is it a 'flat-screen' as in lcd or just a regular monitor with a flat screen (very misleading in the ads btw :p Still a 19" would be pretty nice at that price ;)

When i read the ad it looks to me that the 17" is an Avitron(Triniton) and the 19" is one of their standard Visual Sensations models.

I believe I have seen this monitor or similar in OD. I went to the store, anxious to check it out and it was simply a "flat screen" (as opposed to rounded on the edges) monitor. From what I remember, it wasn't as deep as some of the other monitors of the same size. $200 looks like a pretty good deal for it, if you don't mind the quality. Its hard to beat a Trinitron.

Edit:
Whoa if that is really a Trinitron and of that quality, then it is a truly a hot deal.

Even if the 19" version is the Vistual Sensations version, it is very nice. I'm typing this in front of one right now. Very nice monitor. Served me much better than my 17" Decaview. Very sharp. And if the 19" version is also an Avitron model, there's no stopping me from getting one, even if I have no room on my desk.

Yes, there is a 19" flat screen model.
model AV-195TF. It has an Avitron tube (made by Sony Trinitron) and it has a perfectly flat screen. I should know, I'm using it right now. I wouldn't say that this deal is totally out of the question either. Excellent monitor, everyone who is looking for a good 19" screen should definitely get in on this.

Anybody have a link to a review on the 19"? I've been looking for a replacement to may aging 15"...

Are you sure this isn't the 19&quot;? It seems a lot more likely to be on sale for <$200...

HOLY CRAP!!!


If this is true.. I'm soo getting this rite now!!!



CHECKED THEIR WEBSITE: Only the 17&quot; is true flat, the 19&quot; is the VS190, not that great, .27 dot pitch and 1600x1200 max.
