Wow, this looks nice. I haven't been spoiled by flat monitors yet, so this may be a good thing for me. Bumpage for a nice looking deal.

Don't forget that you need to add $30 for shipping. But even that is a great price. I may have to order this.

Actually after figuring tax I think I will look for a different deal. 7% tax here really hurts. Would be $27 just in tax + $30 for shipping.

bump for someone not looking for a free T but a monitor. Also to get some more views from other members about this monitor or deal itself. Wik is that ok ? Do not let my Golden Member status fool you. I have been on only a couple of months and still learning the ropes.

Sorry to say this but the rebate is only good if the monitor is bought from Micro Center.

Why not bump your own hotdeal? If you think it's good (in this case it is), then what's wrong with bumping it so more people see it?

VERY nice find, as usual, Keroseen :).

geez, I meant it to put a ;) on that, sorry to come off like an @ss.
Actually I would like to see more input on this deal. After tax and shipping this deal is not that great for me so any other ideas on a 21 inch monitor? I need to get another one.

Ok.. I need a lesson on how to price match online with Staples. I know how to use a $40 off coupon and I know how to price match over the phone, but how do you select an item online then price match it and then add the $40 off coupon? Do you do all of this over the phone or in the store or do you do it online? I'm wondering because I don't have a Staples nearby and would have to have it shipped after going through Staples.com.

TIA,

Sal

When ever I have price matched I just tell them on the phone what I want to order and who I want to price match with. Then give them the URL to the site. The will usually charge you the price for next day delivery though.

I also have this monitor, and have had great luck with it. Got it 2 years ago, and at them time, it was by far the cheapest 21 that could do 1600x1200@85. I haven't looked around lately, but this still sounds like a good price. It's not flat, but I've never owned a flat, so I am not spoiled yet either.

Plus the 5 year warranty is just right.

Oh yeah. It's heavy as sin, but so might all 21s be. It's the only one I've lugged around a lot.
