It seems to work for me. But I still need help picking out an LCD... one for about $400... that I can play games (including FPS's) on.

 

[fxsts]

It seems to be dead.

For those who say it doesn't work are you sure? You see the item where it shows the original price slashed and faded grey. Then below it there is the discounted price in red. After you add that item to the cart and the price in the cart should match the red price.

seems dead here... or at least it's not working like it was last night

for those who say it's still working, have you tried it or are you just telling ppl how to do it from before?

It seemed okay a couple hours ago... but I can't get it to work now...

 

[linux247]

Yep, not hot . The deal is dead now. 15% off still works though...

 

[larsrulz]

i confirm its deadness, and I know how to do it, as I got one yesterday

 

[chanfo]

Ditto. It's dead for sure. I did one about 6pm EST today. Just tried another one and its not working anymore.

 

[onza]

i ordered the planar 17" few days ago, had to BUY a stupid 15% coupon but it was worth it

onza

 

[pennylane]

I missed out on an LCD monitor. Oh well... I guess there will be another deal another day... right?

 

[Chevydriver]

Mine order status says Pending 6/18/2003. So I don't know if its going to go threw or not, I hope so. But then again if it don't then i'll just be about $700 richer again.

 

[AU Tiger]

Definitely dead. Shame I hesitated, then again nothing is wrong with my CRT other than space issues.

 

[craiggEMT]

Dead for me now too. Glad I got my order in earlier!! Just hope it goes through!

For those of you that are thinking about the PL191 beware:

I got one of these last week and I was not very impressed. The screen had no dead pixels, but has grown 2 dead pixels in two 2 days... Ghosting in games and DVDs is worse than I can bare. Games are still playable, but games like Battlefield 1942 blur too much to effectively play.

I'm going to return the PL191 and maybe get a PX191, but in the mean time I've already ordered a PX171 so that I can play games fine. Just a heads up!! If you don't play any games or many videos, then the PL191 would be a decent deal.

The Kingston CF card deal is good too, just buy a couple and sell them at profit if you don't need them

they might cancel all orders...from slickdeals forum

Please note that all orders placed under this 'deal' have been cancelled.

This has been an obvious abuse of a system glitch and Dell deserved the right to cancel any orders that have been placed with an incorrect price due to a system error.

We hope that you will shop with us in the future. As a gesture of goodwill everyone whose order has been cancelled will receive a 5% discount coupon.

Have a nice day.

Haven't got that email yet.. but I'll have to put my monitor (one I have now) on hold that I'm selling in the FS forum just in case this happens..

 

[Maxcat]

Ooops. Sorry for the blank post. I just checked my e-mail and so far have not received a notification that my order has been cancelled. As for the above post about Dell cancelling, the quoted portion does not look like it's from Dell. I'm hoping that it's just someone trying to rain on the parade.

I ordered both a VG900b and a Planar PL191-M. I can't decide which one to keep. Any opinions?

Did you notice that this was posted by a non-registered user named Dell? Seems like someone just trying to stir up trouble. No way we hear anything on this until sometime on Monday morning at the earliest.

i hope this deal comes through for everyone

The same "Dell" person on slickdeals has posted an update. I cut out the unimportant bits.

"As a gesture of goodwill everyone whose order has been cancelled will receive a handjob, but no kiss."

Still a contender for deal of the year. This is the closest most of the people following these boards will get to human contact.
