Sony StylePro SDM-S81B 18in LCD for $380 shipped (updated)

[viewlike]

Staples.com offers the Sony StylePro SDM-S81B 18-inch LCD monitor for $499.98 with free shipping. A $20 off coupon and a $100 mail-in rebate knock the net price to $379.98. That's $60 less than the next best price that could find and among the least expensive 18-inch flat-panel displays we've seen. Rebate ends June 30, 2003. Update: This has sold out in many locations

you could at lease use a $30 off $150, or even a $40/$50 off $200. They might have some even higher.

BTW: that's not the "shipped price" As it doesn't include tax yet, and you might want to mention AFTER REBATE

Thanks

NICE DEAL

Anyone know ther response time for this model?

On the Sony website

SDM-S91/B
Response Time
Rise Time: 15ms
Fall Time: 10ms

SDM-X82/B
Response Time:
Rise Time: 20ms
Fall Time: 30ms

 

[optimistic]

So would 15ms + 10ms make this a 25ms response time monitor?

 

[Uclagamer_99]

Yup, bad for games. I've tried a couple lcds with 16ms response times but they're still not as great as CRTs for gaming. The fact that you have to run all your games at the lcd's native resolution is a really big minus for me, since I don't have the lastest and greatest vid cards. However, If you don't play games often then the lcds look amazing with a DVI connection.

Per Sony's website total response time is 30ms, they only list refurbs. This must be a closeout at Staples. No DVI
