What is this "VISA Rebate"?

Well I posted this deal 3 months ago when I purchased this monitor from Onvia. I used that 25 of 100 coupon and came out to $237.00 shipped. Anyway, the monitor is great for the price. Don't expect sony quality but excellent for the price. The picture (.026) is good and it looks nice. The rear of the monitor is thin and short. It will not take too much space. The only thing I do not like is the botton for the controls. It's a sigle botton mechanism that makes it unconfortable to use but then again you only have to play with that once. Overall I give it a 7 in a scale of 10.

tinhrdep - It's usually helpful to include URLs, which I have done for you.

Getting this 19-inch monitor for the lowest possible price won't be easy, this is assuming the lowest tier is reached which means another 25 purchases must be made.

bluemax - The $25 VISA rebate is a mail-in offer I'm guessing, pay with your VISA credit card and receive a $25 off $100 VISA mail-in rebate

Here are three threads I found in the General Hardware Forum which discuss the KDS VS-195E monitor:

Here's a http://computers.cnet.com/ review of the KDS VS-195 monitor (notice there is no E in the model number).
Not sure if this is a different older/newer/lower/higher model than the VS-195E. 84% of people recommend this monitor, not bad.

Hope these links help you prospective monitor buyers. I'm personally very happy with my $159 ViewSonic E771 17-inch flat CRT.
