If you care what they think.

not bad

I don't know how Sharp's LCDs are, but 16ms Response Time and DVI for $200 seems like a good deal

This was posted on Tech bargains and later here a couple days ago. What concerns me is that Buy.com has no mention of the rebate. Its on the Sharp site, so sounds like its fine.

Where are you seeing that this is DVI?

 

[mikeford]

no dvi

Yipes, the other thread on this monitor says that Sharp won't honor rebate because buy.com isn't an authorized dealer.

If you have any problem with sharp products you have one remedy and this is to fix it your self or throw away. Been there done that, believe me they will not honor a warranty! Once you buy you better hope you got lucky. I learned the hard way with a $369.00 microwave in the trash and still under warranty!

Anyone get the rebate to work? Its a good screen. I think its the same AU Optronics LCD panel used in the other 17" 16ms LCD's you see out there. At $300 it's not a bad deal but nothing special. If they honor the rebate then its a very good deal. Persoanlly I hate rebates unless from Dell. 7 reabtes with no problems from dell. Other people have screwed me left and right.

FW has a thread about this in thier hot deals forum. Supposedly several people have talked to CSR's at sharp and have been told the rebate will not be honored unless it is purchased at a RETAIL store.

That's too bad, my dad has the same monitor and it's very nice. Very compact - you won't believe how little space it takes on the table, very nice colors, response time and unlike most of the cheap monitors it looks good on the table.

Buy.com is a retailer...I don't see how this wouldn't qualify. They are not considered a distributor.

I agree. If Sharp is denying rebates on that basis, it's BS! Deal is hot if rebate honored.

 

[mikeford]

If sharp would honor the rebate why doesn't Buy.com have a link to it or mention it?

 

[madalien]

The link to the Sharp rebate in OP's post specifically states that "online only e-tailers" are excluded from this rebate offer. I think that is very plainly stated that a buy from BuyCom will not fly.

 

[garkman]

On buy.com's site now:

No additional rebates apply to Manufacture Part #LL172AB!

So no go.

I received my $80 rebate for a Sharp 17 LCD TV I bought from Compgeeks. It came within the 8-12 weeks which amazed me. But I think Compgeeks has a B&M store somewhere.
