So i've been browsing black friday ads, and I've narrowed it basically down to these two.
Bestbuy has the 931bw for $129.99 out the door.
Staples has the 940bw for $129.99 after $80 easy rebate.
I'm not a fan of the weird chrome-looking things on the 931bw, but if that's the only difference, I'd go for it because theres no rebate to mess with. However, it seems thats not the only difference. It doesn't make sense to me why the smaller model number has a better response time (2ms on the 931bw vs 4ms on the 940bw) and a better contrast ratio (2000:1 on the 931 and 500:1 on the 940). It seems fishy to me, and I was just wondering if maybe they changed how they rate their monitors drastically between these two models.
Does anyone have any personal experience with both/either? I really don't know which to go for. Bestbuy doesnt seem to have the 931bw in store, it's only a black friday exclusive item it seems.
