*HOT* Samsung 730B 17in LCD $100 @officemax. Possible PM to Staples for less than $60 AR

[KJ]

Got it from SD

8ms, DVI and good review from amazon

Print it and take it with you

Possible PM with Staples although Staples' model is 731B
I got 731B from Placentia CA Store because they didn't have 730B.
I think I got last 2 though.

Edit: It looks like some Staples PM. There is $40 rebate on it

[imported_tkkidd]

It's really good for gaming. Don't notice any blur and the colors are nice. But I haven't tried anything else LCD wise so have nothing to compare it to.

Just a note -This is the discontinued model - 730B, not the current 731B. Pricematch to Staples wouldn't work.

Here is a review of it.

Sounds like an excellent deal!

 

[BlackG0d]

Well, just bought my screen.

I called my local Office Max and they were out. THe girl told me I can come in and order one. So when I came in I found out they had none in the warehouse as well. So she sent me to another Office Max in the neighborhood town, which supposedly had 3 or 4 in stock. Well, when I got there they had none. BUT, they gave me a 731B instead!

This screen kicks ass. I just tried Condemned - Criminal Origins (@ 1280x1024), and damn it looks sharp. No ghosting or lagging of any kind. The display is bright and crisp. And no dead pixels to boot!

it looks like almost every officemax sells 731B instead if they don't have 730B in stock. Anyone knows if Staples will PM if I show the reciept for 731B with 730B ad? Prob not, huh?

=) Welcome

I already bought mine and it's too much touble for me to return and PM. Plus I hate rebates due to my laziness. I'm glad someone did.

 

[pinktank]

Ill try, will be good second screen for macbook pro and etc

got a semi-pricematch at staples - manager was only willing to offer me price that would equate to $99.99 after easy rebate- Which means I had to pay $140 for it (before $40 rebate). Kind of annoyed now that I see someone got the "DREAM DEAL" PM ...

at least you got 731B instead of 730B like most who bought from officemax.

 

[WTT0001]

Thanks OP, was just in best buy last night thinking I should pick up an LCD, Went to staples this morning and after waiting 1/2 hour for someone to get one down for me they PM'd the $99.99 price (@ 110%) And I still get the rebate making this about $55 for me including 8% sales tax. Awesome

WTT

P.S. I ended up with the 731B, it was all staples had

 

[unfalliblekrutch]

no go at carmel, IN staples

 

[bloodthirster]

Im heading out now to try this pricematch. Will post back soon.

Update: Staples laughed at me. Officemax was out.

 

[jackschmittusa]

Store in Akron, Ohio gave me a hard time, wouldn't sell the display model (only one left), wouldn't substitute, no raincheck. Asst. mgr. acted like it was a bother to even discuss it.

Staples was very polite, but knew it was a different model, so SOL there too.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Just picked it up with 2 other buddies (1 each, 3 total) and got it OTD for $87.99 + tax, total of $93.27 plus the $40 rebate, $53.27 :shocked:

Staples didn't question it at all, very easy. For those in the area, West Lafayette's Staples is now out of them.
