This is a really nice monitor and its cheap.

T0mmy Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 A TV, by definition, has a tuner. This is a monitor since it has no tuner. It can easily be used as a TV if you connect your cable box, sattelite box, or get a tuner card for your PC.
dubb Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 ok well I think I'm going to go purchase this one today. And shoot for other monitors on Black Friday as if I won't be keeping it. Lining up for 10 hours by myself sounds too painful. I'd totally do it if I had buddies hanging out with me otherwise.
bigjimslade Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Will these monitors be one per customer?Welcome to the community. Yes they will be. I would get into line between 6pm and 9pm local time. Good luck!
Ajshope Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 All 3 of the monitors that we have on sale will be big items, we're not expecting them to last longer than 15-30 minutes. However, we are doing crowd control, we are actually handing them out and making people stand in line and ask for them, so keep an eye out for that also.

msufroggy Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I got the 22" monitor early this morning from online. I guess I hit a little window where it didn't keep saying "sold out" but I just got an email saying it's on back order, and it will arrive in one-two weeks. I can wait! :) I had to pay shipping, which sux, but i guess $12 shipping is better than standing in the cold for 8 hours and HOPING u get one! :)
dissident Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 agreed froggy! Where I live it costs $9 in gas just to get to best buy and back anyways, so $14 shipping isn't so bad. I also snagged it when it came in stock for 5 minutes this morning. I can wait for it too! :) I've got my hdtv, and my lcd monitor, no reason to camp out anymore. I'll be watching a couple movies and a few x-file episodes on my brand new olevia tonight in my warm bed. :) I'll be thinking of you all though!
djjohnyoung Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Well.. my shopping team hit BB early, but they found out that the local BB handed out 100 tickets yesterday for the first 100 in line already at 6 pm.. so those folks got in first and cheaned out the monitors.. ouch.. Any truth to the "restocking a few on Saturday" thing??
Mennovh Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 got two of these monitors. There were a free for all when i went in. Only had to wait out in the cold for two hours too. Not a bad deal in my opinion.
Darroll Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 At the store I went to they didn't last 5 min. They were the first thing I hit when I got there.
jasonaltima Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I went to my Best buy at 7:00 am and got one.It was the last one i guess i got lucky
Guest CS.Dean Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 We got one of the 19 in one..The 22's were gone in like 10 minutes
The Big Wood Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I got one (using to surf the net right now!), but I was lucky. These things were gone quick, but I found one laying on the floor in the computer department with noone standing beside it. I watched and circled the area for a a couple of minutes...noone got it or showed interest in it...several people in the area walked away. I saw someone else approach the area from the main floor and noticed their eyes went directly to the monitor as they started making their way to it. I casually walked up to it and stood beside it. They went elsewhere and paid no more attention to it. A minute or two went by...noone showed interest to it so I picked it up and looked at it to make sure it wasn't damaged or missing from the box...wondering if anyone would say anything to me. Noone said anything...so I then walked away with it. I hope I didn't get someone's monitor, but if I did....I apologize. A word of advice, don't leave it sitting so long by its lonesome! Oh well, its a great monitor...but the speakers aren't worth much. I will be unhooking them and use my original speakers.
vee3 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 my friend was inline at my local bestbuy (princeton, nj) from 10pm and he had to fight a old lady to get me the 19inch samsung! this thing is amazing! what quality!
Schreibs21 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 At the store I went to they didn't last 5 min. They were the first thing I hit when I got there.got two of these monitors. There were a free for all when i went in. Only had to wait out in the cold for two hours too. Not a bad deal in my opinion.it was the same thing here, pretty crazy, and then i had to wait another hour just to check out
bigjimslade Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 The BB I was at had 100 of them and they went within 10 minutes.
angel-too Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 My 17 yr old daughter joined friends at 11 pm. I left her with money at 4am. they were about 70 in line. Havent gotten the details yet, but she got the 22 in!!!! She said the 19 in. went first.
lydiaandmatt Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Got one and am using it right now-Love it!
nbrendal Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Our store was stocked to the max on both the 19" and the 22" monitors. Probably 75 each at least. I saw a 22" still sitting on the floor at 9 oclock.
lovebears65 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I got my 22 inch monior . We had a huge pallet I could have gotton a few of them but only needed one ...Not home so its not hooked up yet
shotgun99 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I got up at 10am, walked in my local BB at 3pm, and price matched my 22'' Westy in just 1 minute. LOL

You are too nice! :) I apply the same rule I use when food is on the floor, 5 seconds and It's mine!
dubb Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 ok well I think I'm going to go purchase this one today. And shoot for other monitors on Black Friday as if I won't be keeping it. Lining up for 10 hours by myself sounds too painful. I'd totally do it if I had buddies hanging out with me otherwise.you guys are going to hate me for this... but buying it beforehand and pricematching it worked like a charm! I went to the best buy in Mesa, AZ around 3:30am and there were easilly over a thousand people in line!!! I drove to another one that had like half that. For some reason that Best Buy is always completely out of control!!! This was the one thing I really really wanted! It's a nice monitor too! There's a lot of bleed through around the edges but everything else is more than I could ever ask for! Good color representation. No dead pixels out of box. Good response time, no noticeable ghosting. I love this damn thing!! :)
