Also, the NEC 1530V on clearance at $299 #451114

The Philips was #452452, specs at Philips

Pricegrabber finds prices in the $400s.

This was at BM in Columbus, Ohio.

Good luck.

Nice find.
With the $30 off $150 coupon and the $10 off $10 it came to $259.50 before taxes.
Had 3 Nec's left in store.

 

[Bob151]

You're welcome.

10 off 10? YGPM.

These LCDs are supposed to be healthier for our eyes, easier to view? Is that the consensious in the technicall community now?

My employers HP laptop has a very nice LCD that doesn't seem to bother my eyes after a 10 hour day.

I see several Staples coupons for $40 off $200 at your favorite site. That would make the deal hotter no?

anyone have an opinion on which one, I like NEC. However the Phillips I got was a floor model so

$299 - 10% = 269 - $30 = $239 plus tax.

NEC was not a floor model. I see CNET gave NEC a 9/10 cant find review of the phillips.

if anyone can help me obtain a $40/$200 private message me please.

Watching the displays at Staples yesterday, which were running a DVD movie, the Phillips was much sharper than the NEC, which had a lot of ghosting. The Philips was still pretty bad relative to a CRT for the movie, but I'd still choose it over the NEC for text.

The Philips also has DVI, while the NEC only does analog.

My friend has the Phillips & it was very good for games, however, only comes w/ analog cable. He had to buy DVI cable, but I didn't notice any difference when he switched the two. He's had it for a few mos. now & he loves it.

Just went to Staples in Charlottesville, VA . . . picked up the last one (Display Model):

$299.95 - 10%($30 b/c display) - $30 Coupon + Tax = $250.33!!!

Thanks for the post!

klein297 - With the $30 off $150 coupon and the $10 off $10 it came to $259.50 before taxes

Are we allowed to use more than 1 coupon at once??

Also, What's a DVI cable?? I thought there's only analog and digital...

 

[klein297]

I used both. Had to get managers approval for the 30 off 150 because it's only supposed to be good online or for catalog purchases.
The 10 off 10 looked like a credit card and came in the mail.

NEC is slightly bigger (15.1" viewable) compared to the Philips 15" viewable. The Philips' specs are far better, 350:1 contrast ratio and 210 brightness. NEC's are 200:1 contrast and 200 brightness.

CNet gave the NEC a 8/10. (http://computers.cnet.com/hardware/0-2295747-404-4873705.html). I don't know why though.

I checked out the Philips 150S1C and I don't know where/how it could have DVI. I didn't see any DVI inputs at all. Am I missing something? I'll give more details once I hook it up at home. w00t!!

 

[Ejunior2]

So for those of us not quit in-the-know.... Where is a good place to look for those printable coupons?

I got one. anyone know whether or not the 15% restocking fee applies to monitors as well ? Still debating whether or not 285.67 (thats with tax) is worth it.

 

[Plester]

ended up grabbing the floor model philips 150S, the manager was a champ, marked it down to $195 but made me buy the 1 year warranty extension for $29 = $224 + tax.

has a dang nice picture coupled with a radeon 8500LE.

How did you get it??

 

[Kenji4861]

It was on clearance for $299..

I said.. how many do you have?
manager : this is it
Me : Alright, it's pretty beat up (not beat up at all), can you give me a discount?
Manager : sure... let me get the box
He goes over to get the box
Me : I still want to know how much you are giving it to me for before going any further
Manager : umm.. hold on a second
Me : So how much?
Manager : $209 with extended warranty..
Me : ??! Ok, I'll take it.
