- 20" Computer Monitor for $200 (expired)
Acer AL2016WBbd 20" LCD Computer monitor for $200 with free shipping.
It usually sells for around $215 after shipping fee.
It's a decent deal on a good quality LCD monitor.
Includes a VGA and a DVI cable.
Occasionally a similar 22" monitor deal comes up at $200, but this is still a good deal if you don't want to wait around for that.
Newegg.com
- 22" LCD Widescreen Monitor for $200 (expired)
Hanns-G Hi-221DPB 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor for $200 today with free shipping.
It has DVI & VGA inputs, good specs, and 3 year warranty.
Most other deals for 22" monitors run around $220 to $300.
BestBuy.com
- 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor for $120 or $135 (expired)
Acer X193Wbd 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor with DVI for $120 at BestBuy stores and BestBuy.com.
Add about $15 for delivery, or use in-store pickup.
This is a hot deal, since 19" monitors with DVI input usually go for around $160 to $180. Update (5/30):
No longer available through their website, but some stores may still have them in stock.
Frys.com
- 19" LCD Monitor for $108 after rebate (expired)
Tyris T902WDT Widescreen 19" LCD Monitor for $139 plus about $9 shipping, and a $40 mail-in rebate is available.
Also a Canon Printer for $50 with free shipping, and a $50 mail-in rebate is available when purchased with the monitor.
A similar non-widescreen Tyris monitor had good reviews.
Final cost after 2 rebates is $140, assuming both rebate checks come.
It has DVI input, and includes a VGA cable.
Note, this deal is very risky for 2 reasons: the quality of the monitor, and the chance of not getting the $50 rebate on the monitor.
This really is a cheap LCD monitor, so be aware that if you dislike it and already submitted the rebate, you may be stuck paying over a hundred dollars for a poor quality item that no one wants.
Even some recently completed Ebay auctions had trouble selling this monitor.
The few reviews of this monitor gave it about 3 stars out of 5, and there are a couple reports of broken LCDs and the manufacturer failed to provide adequate support.
Our recommendation is to avoid a deal like this unless you really do want a cheap LCD monitor and do not care about quality.
The mail-in rebate for the monitor appears to be a Fry's rebate, not a manufacturer's rebate.
Fry's has a poor history of not fulfilling their own rebates, and chances of not getting your $50 is greater than a manufacturer's rebate.
The $50 printer rebate is a manufacturer rebate.
Newegg.com
- 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor for $160 (expired: 4/28, shipping no longer free)
Acer AL1916WAbd 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor for $160 with free shipping.
