Dud Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 I came accross the 19" Samsung 915N deal last week (while I was at work) and was unable to get in on the deal before they sold out. Except for DVI this would have been perfect for me. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could/would refer me to a similar deal (if possible). I continue to search every day to no avail.

Guest Unregistered Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Rossman, I have no budget. I would have jumped on the Samsung if it had not sold out. I have heard that the best places to get LCDs are Dell and local retailers like Costco and Sam's (because of their return policies. The not-so-good are the internet stores like Newegg because of their "8 pixels or more" return policy. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 CostCo without a doubt has the best return policy, on computer products it's up to 6 months. If you can wait a few weeks CostCo will have a Princeton 19" LCD with analog/DVI for $279 after coupon. It's on sale June 27 - July 3, 2005.

Dud Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 Rossman, Is this the Princeton monitor you are referring to: "Buy.com has the Princeton LCD1910 19" Flat Panel Display on sale for $258.97 after $70 mail-in rebate. Free shipping is also included. New Buy.com customers can save $15 more with the coupon link below. The Princeton LCD1910 is a slim 19" TFT LCD monitor offering a sharp picture. A 19" LCD panel is about equivalent to a 21" CRT, in terms of viewable image size and recommended resolutions. 16ms Fast Video Response Time: Optimal for the playback of multimedia movie clips, spreadsheet, word processing, and playing games. This analog LCD delivers quality images, ideal for your corporate and home offices, with a 500:1 contrast ratio, a pixel pitch of 0.294mm, a 1280x1024@75MHz maximum resolution and a horizontal/vertical viewing angle of 170 degrees/170 degrees." What about the response times (16 ms) for gaming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Dud, The CostCo coupon doesn't mention a model number and it shows SKU 899899, which isn't valid on CostCo.com yet. If you don't mind a mail in rebate you can get a Princeton 19" for $279. There are two possible downsides to buying this LCD:1) Warranty is only 1 year when comparable models (Dell and Samsung) are 3 years.2) If you can wait another 2-3 months Dell might have the popular Dell UltraSharp 1905FP on sale again for around $251. It does have a slower response time but it might sell for around $251 with 3 year warranty and free shipping. If you haven't already I would recommend signing up for our Daily Deal Update and you'll be e-mailed about future Dell deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
