Dead!!!! NEXT DEAL PLEASE! Philips 19" LCD (16ms, 1280x1024, no DVI) for $342.22 + tax/shipping from Insight.com

Edit: Insight has raised the price now and has started cancelling orders. They are offering (via phonecall) the monitor to some at their price of *bleh*....$520....:roll:

This is a dead horse....on to the next

Update: Shipping was $10.07 FedEX ground to KY. Tax was $21.14
(KY 6%)

SMEG (from FW) said:

Insight has a Philips "Brilliance 190S5CB" 19" LCD monitor for $342.22. At the time of my order they had 54 in stock.

Linky

I actually called (1-800-insight) and placed the order, the CSR was a little surprised at the price too, but said it look like it right.

The good, 19" with 16ms response
The bad, No DVI and Insight charges tax for all states. However when the CSR told me they do charge tax, I asked him if could cut me a deal on shipping. He gave me 2nd day air for the same price as ground, which was $28 (YMMV).

I looked for product review, found little. but I'm sure someone will find something.

As always...... HOT, WARM or COLD you decide!

Happy trails

Thanks to SMEG at FW for sharing this deal!

Not sure. Still debating. Thread at FW growing quickly though, so hopefully, a few answers will appear there. If this had DVI, there would be one on order for my house now!!! There were 54 left when OP posted there. Insight might be a tad slow in updating quantity though.

Web sites rarely have real-time inventory.

[zixxer]

[EPSSniper]

[tryanasaurus]

Thanks OP

 

[valkyriex]

very good price...but no DVI......tough choice....

 

[EPSSniper]

From what I've heard over at slickdeals and fatwallet, most people said that the dvi doesn't make that much of a difference. I'm just wondering if this is really gonna be a nice monitor.

Yeah, me too. I'm halfway regretting hitting the purchase button to be honest! I decided to just let it ride. If it ships, I'll evaluate. If not, I'm not crying over it .

 

[sheltem]

Very nice deal op. I already have 2 17' LCDs though

I've heard that it doesn't make much difference for smaller LCDs, but when I upgraded from a 17" analog to a 20.1" with DVI, there was a world of difference.

 

[RossMAN]

Great deal but we really don't need an LCD.

If it were a super molten lava hot deal ($299 shipped) then I would bite.

 

[tsuthar]

I cant seem to find the warrenty for this. For any helpers...I dont even have a video card w/ DVI...I'm not a gamer (unless its xbox/ps2)...does it really make a difference?

 

[zixxer]

unless your going 1600x1200 imo it doesn't make a difference

 

[tsuthar]

Yea its dead. $582.89. That's what happens when I'm not decisive enough!!!

 

[zixxer]

people on fatwallet are getting calls from CSR's offering them $579 or something..


I called them this morning and verified that my order was being processed. I'm going to be pissed if they cancel on me.

 

[zixxer]

everyone on fatwallet are getting calls that their order is canceled... I called again and they told me... again... that my order is going through so I dunno
