OfficeMax is advertising a Soyo 20" LCD for $170. See last page of the 1/13/08 circular. I just bought it with a $30 off $150 coupon for a net of $140+tax. Pretty cheap, but the LCD is admittedly not fancy. 8ms response time and 800:1 contrast ratio,
1650x1050 native res, DVI input

I'm not sure if Soyo is a good brand or not. I opened the boxes at OfficeMax and the first one had the wrong product manual in it! Not a sign of good QC . . . Here are the Soyo DYLM2086 specs

(Yes, this deal is B&M only because the LCD isn't available on OM's website. The SKU# is 2160-0484 )

This is not a bad price if it uses the same panel as the 24" Soyo Topaz OM had on sale for $299! My question is where do you get that $30 discount off $150! That is the only thing that makes it worthwhile, otherwise a 22" Acer for $199 will be a better choice.

The only Offce Max coupons I can find are online only. This has no online SKU.

OfficeMax mailed coupons last week. The coupon has a long alphanumeric string on the front, so it's probably one-time use only. I wish I had remembered to scan it--Sorry . . .

I get them in email all the time, but never find a use for them.
