I may pick up one of these to use as a spare secondary system. For a 17" monitor it has some pretty good
specs , it does 1600x1200 @75Hz ,.25 dot pitch, I believe it uses a Mitsubishi/NEC tube don't quote me on that...all I know is
its a damn good looking monitor and I spent about 10 min playing around with one several months ago, IMO its
a diamond in the dirt.

$299 - $100 instant rebate - $50 mail in rebate -$50 mail in rebate = $99 and tax.

Available online as well as in the store,

VPR Matrix 17"

Can anyone confirm who OEMs this monitor?? It does look like a decent monitor w/ the specs.

"Nice price, but I need a smaller monitor - no room on the desk"

BB is also selling the Samsung 151v LCD monitor for 369.99 - 90 MIR = 279.99 + tax

Rebate is good through April if you can find one in the store. Though I just talked with a BB CSR and they said that if you order it online and the rebate does not print out with the order, you can bring it in and return it to the store and then buy it back 30 seconds later and get the rebate. He did not know why the B&M stores have the rebate running through April and the website doesn't have it at all.

I'm gonna go ahead and order one and if they won't give me the rebate when I bring it back to the store, then I'll just return it and get my cash back. It's going on my intrest free card with free shipping anyway, so it's not a big loss if it doesn't pan out. If it does, then I'll have a nice matching monitor to go with my new VPR 17" LCD :)

IT is a Samsung monitor made for Best Buy. Probably similar to another of the regualr Samsung monitors, just rebagged in a different shell. I work for Georgia Pacific and we do the same thing with our paper products. If costco comes to us and asks us to make them their own toilet paper to sell in house but want's it to be like this other brand, then we simply make the same grade of product and seal it in a different package.
