Planar PX191 Question

Hello everybody,
I've been looking for a 19" LCD screen and I've read some posts regarding the Planar PX191. Most all the posts are positive and the stats of the monitor look impressive. My question is where is the best place to buy one of these monitors? A lot of the posters show they bought theirs for around $600.00 but I can't even come close to that price on the Dell website. About $700.00 is the best I can do using the 10% off special and $50.00 off coupon. Any ideas on how to get the monitor down to $600.00?
 
Make sure whatever LCD you get doesnt have ghosting cause you cant play games like that it gives u a head spin
 
Those Dell deals are a "hit and miss" kind of thing. So if you're patient, you can get it for that price down the road with certain percents off and coupons... but really, $700 isn't all that bad. I got mine for $726 shipped and in a "you get what you pay for" kind of world, I still feel like I got my monies worth.

It is a sweet display. After a couple of months of owning it, you'd think the "newness" phase/feeling would've worn off by now, but I'm still enjoying it as much as the first day I took it out of the box. It's my first LCD so maybe that's the difference...I don't know. But there's no going back to a CRT for me.
 
I have had to PX191 for about 6 weeks and it is a good monitor, but I would take a look at the new Dell 1901FP. It has most of the same features as the Px191(pivot, swivel) plus 4 port usb 2.0 hub. It was(is?)
on sale at 20% off which made it about $560 plus tax.
