I think you're referring to "XF-9Bi" compared to "XF-9B".
OD has had this deal a few times now and every store near me in western WA has the "XF-9Bi" -- which has different (worse) specs than the "XF-9B" -- however, they have the SAME office-depot SKU#.
So, buyer beware. If you can actually get a "XF-9B" (like I did!

) then this deal is HOT!
If you get stuck with the "9Bi", don't expect the refresh rates quoted on the website -- which is probably fine for non-gamers that don't stare at their monitor for too many hours per day. (Still seems hot, though, at ~$70)
To sum it up: I have the XF-9B and am very pleased -- and if I could get my hands on another for under $100, I'd jump on it. However, most OD's in my experience have the "XF-9Bi" -- which they treat as the same monitor -- but it's inferior specs-wise to the XF-9B.
btw: the same model# mix-up occured when I bought mine -- where one rebate showed "XF-9Bi" and I actually received the "XF-9B". All rebates came through without any problem.
Good luck
