Shipping is about $30. How did you find this deal? How is this better than the pixel perfect Shimian 27" 1440p IPS I bought for $200 that looks awesome?

The free shipping code listed in the OP worked for me, so total price was $144.20. These don't come with much of a warranty, though. I think it is 90 days. So if mine lasts a year, I'll be happy. But I might get lucky and it will last longer. At this price, if it flakes out, I'll just throw it away.

As I mentioned, I found it on [H] forums.

As far as the comparison to the Shimian 27, this is $144.

Personally, I would take a NEC over a Korean manufacturer any day, but that's my preference. This monitor is pretty highly reviewed.

Woah. Didn't even hesitate, jumped on this ASAP. Wish I had a reason for a second one, but I've already got a 1ms gaming monitor and this one can be used for photography.

It's really difficult to compare NEC to many other companies that make monitors. This is a steal.

I am really tempted by this...grrrr. It looks like a nice monitor that would be a nice upgrade over what I'm using now. Damn you hotdeals forum.

I'll be surprised if it actually ships. Now that I've looked they do have great prices on refurb/closeout products.

When I tried to buy two, it said quantity not available, but it let me place 2 orders for one display each, so I'll bet they're oversold and cancellation emails will be sent out on Monday...

Worst case, they'll say sorry and you might get a discount on one of these as courtesy. :D

They also have this MODEL: PA272W-BK-R for photography/colour accuracy with 99.3% AdobeRGB coverage. Used to be $1300 US new:

My goodness ... they've also got a 27" (IPS) 1080p for like $87.50 bucks.

And look at those deals on the large format displays.

Welp, I know exactly where I'm going in the future if I ever need another monitor and/or television. ;)

I've always been a HUGE fan of NEC since the 90's so this is all gravy. =)

Yeah all these hot deals forums have bankrupted me over the past week, but I went ahead a gave this one a shot. If it ships I'll have a nice larger screen to look at, if not Ill be saving some cash. lol

Excellent find! Where did you get the free shipping code? I would like to bookmark this site.

It's from either registering an account on their site or you make the order, you get the free shipping code eMailed to you.

Is anyone else having problems with getting the site to work? It's not allowing me to choose a shipping method . . .

Guys, just noticed through a search that there were 15,000 page views and 143 posts in a Slick deals thread for the NEC 1080P and 1440P IPS refurb monitors. The SD thread went up some time after the deal was posted on [H] and Anandtech. Still have my fingers crossed, but really doubt that any new orders will be shipped. Had been trying to talk myself out of ordering a second one...

Man, I was trying to order this all weekend. Gave it one last try and I was finally able to place an order.

EDIT: I was kinda expecting this to not go through, but NEC charged my CC right away.
