IT'S BACK 24" Soyo LCD for $299. @ Office Max is back

"The more I hear, the more I'm starting to think this is a "cheap build" monitor"

The only things Soyo "cheaped" out on with this monitor is adding more inputs and hiring a good bezel designer. The panel is gorgeous and for the sub $300 price, I'm willing to forgive them for it ;-).

Agreed! Just got mine today.

The colors are more vibrant than my old Dell 2001FP 20.1" LCD.

i went and checked out the monitor and I thought it looked good, but I think I'm going to wait until black friday and see what pops up. While this is a great deal, it doesn't seem like one of those "gone forever" type deals. I sure as hell hope this is still around as a backup plan...

Allright in for one, 320 w/nj tax.. just couldnt resist.

Quick question; I have a 6600GT.. obviously don't plan on playing games with it at this resolution, but what about general video performance?
If I downloaded HD video would it play well? How about with that 1900gt from newegg?

thanks!

It's back this Sunday

 

[fleshconsumed]

Holy crap, is this deal ever going to end? I already bought one, so now I have dell 2405 and Soyo side by side, tempted to buy another Soyo and put dell in portrait mode for documents...

 

[richd111]

Yep, also tempted to get another one for dueling 24s.

Only had mine for four days, but it has been perfect so far. None of the issues others are reporting.

Already have two, if I had another coupon I'd really consider one more. Could be good for a bedroom HTPC setup.

 

[brianmanahan]

me want... anyone found a decent coupon code?

 

[PowerRanger]

Wow AGAIN???

I was wondering if anyone on here could comment about color ACCURACY on these things. I don't care if colors are "more vibrant" if they aren't true to color. I had a Samsung 40" 1080p lcd very briefly last year and the color were very vibrant but they were also very innacurate, especially on darks and skin tones. Call me a skeptic, but usually when one person says a cheap display (or even fancy displays sometimes) is "vibrant" it really means that the colors are oversaturated and will look good for cartoons and thing where color doesn't matter but terrible for darker parts of movies or for accurate colors. So can anybody who has this and really knows anything about color accuracy beyond "this looks cool my old display was smaller" comment? I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but most of the glowing comments on the various forums seem to just be from people who aren't sticklers for color and/or don't have experience or knowledge to compare it to other displays for color accuracy. I would be interested for anyone who does graphics to comment on this verse say a nice S-IPS panel like the 20" Dell 2007FPW. TIA, and not the Blood Diamond kind... lol

 

[A Casual Fitz]

Anyone that has a coupon code PM me I want to get this as hot as possible!

 

[manimal]

Ive flip flopped so many times on this monitor I fear for the attack ads from the pundits....


If anyone has a coupon code that could help sway me as well ^^ A PM would be greatly appreciated as well.

 

[brianmanahan]

This thing is so awesome. It's incredible compared to the Acer 22" that I had.

 

[Crucial]

I bought my wife one of these when they first went up for sale. Every time I see the deal back on I am tempted to pick one up for my office.

I think this is where "color calibration" comes in

 

[Spurst]
