Sams B&M has the KDS Xtreme 17" Monitor for $149 prior to a $20 MIR. $129 for a flat 17" is the best I have seen.

Where's the rebate? I checked the KDS site and they don't list any for the XF-7p or Sam's.

The rebate is handled internally by Sams. You buy the product, fill and send in the rebate form (with the receipt and maybe the Proof of Purchase), and they mail you a check. The only catch is you have to be a member of Sam's Club.

The membership is worth it to me but that's 'cos I buy a lot of everyday stuff from there for the household. I generally recoup the membership price (~$30) within two months at the most. YMMV.

Is this a new deal for November, it is not showing up on the Sam's site yet. Thanks for the heads up though, I will check it out.

Be careful Bancrupt?
Was thinking of getting one of those KDS monitors but heard of people having problems with them so buyer beware!

My question referred to the rebate. The site still is showing the rebate offers for October.

Does anyone know the true source of where this bankruptcy news actually came from?

kds makes good monitors, i had a kds vs-195 19", it failed after about 4 years, i replaced it with a newer but not as good vs-190i, and it's still working.. not the best monitor of course but still a great value

 

[BlackNinja]

JohnMellencamp , i think that's the different monitor you're talking about there.. they have different model number..

My apologies for linking to the wrong monitor on KDS's website.
The correct one
They also have a KDS lcd at a reasonable price (15" for ~$260). Sam's website shows this for $339. I was at the Sam's Club in Gurnee, IL and saw if for $258 I think. (just didn't have the extra hundred bones)

ripped from Hardocp

KDS, or Korea Data System, once a prospering IT company, is now facing bankruptcy. It was only last year the Korean firm experienced rapid progress, as its affiliates in the United States and Japan became listed on the US Nasdaq and Nasdaq Japan each. The company, however, has followed a rapid slippage since late last year, as demand for personal computers froze. The company's rapid surge and speedy downfall in only one and a half years of existence have become the talk of the town.

if ur planning to buy this monitor, i dont know how much support ur gona get in the future
but $129 isnt really that bad of a price to pay and it isnt really that much for a great product

I saw this "Extreme" monitor from KDS at Wally-Mart a few months back. The glass on the front was flat, but it appeared like there was a curved tube mounted behind it. Could someone confirm if this is the case with the monitor at Sam's?
