$222.97 (110% PM guarantee)
-$40.00 (Coupon $40 off $200 Coupon)
$198.07 (8.25 tax included)
- $50.00 (Rebate)
------------
$ 148.07


I already placed the order. Through the phone.
I pricematched it with TechonWeb Price including shipping and tax (CA) for me was $247.75 from tech on web.

110% PM with Staples to that amount came to 222.97.
Then I applied the $40 Coup and $50 rebate.

The order was placed with nice staples sales representative lady named (PM me for her name)
It should be at my house by no later than June 11.

?? I thought they charged for "overnight" shipping when they match. That way it always works out to be a terrible deal on monitors. Overnight from techonweb is $220!

Be aware, though this is a good deal, the 955DF is not a very good monitor. Quality issues (focus, distortion) come up all the time, as well as total duds reported in anandtech and other forums. Plus the specs aren't so hot either (low refresh).
Still, it's cheap. Personally, I'd rather have a good 17".
(The 900NF is an excellent monitor, but somehow rarely on sale...)

well I just got a call from staples saying they cant send the 19" invision thats on sale for $109 after MIR & coupon. So I did this deal which they are billing me $188 after the $50 off $200 coupon. On top of that they are giving me $70 staples coupon because the original deal had the $70 rebate. So Im getting this moniter deal for about the same as the invision moniter deal. I think I can use the $50 MIR, so I might get this moniter for $60-$70! ! ! Counting the 2 rebates & coupon & 110% PM.

my 955df is great! The first one I got from dell was defective though.

my 955df purchased about 1 year ago works great. Haven't found a single flaw with this monitor

My 955DF was purchased around X-Mas time and looks great. This is an excellent monitor for the money, and I'd probably recommend it even if you had to put down ~$240 for it

I've had my 955DF for about 3 months now and I absolutely love it. No problems whatsoever. The refresh rate (of 60Hz) at 1600x1200 kind of suck but I haven't noticed any difference (and i've been running my 17" shamrock at 1204x768x85Hz for awhile).

Got it for about $189 after $30 rebate.

Here's the AnandTech Review of the 955DF.

Image Quality
To test out the Samsung 955DF we used the trusted standard of the monitor evaluation community: DisplayMate. Fitting on a 3.5" floppy, DisplayMate has set the standard for monitors as a result of its thorough tests. We decided to test the 955DF in the resolution we feel it should be run at: 1280x1024, the recommended resolution of the monitor. The refresh rate was set to 75Hz, Samsung's recommended refresh rate when at 1280x1024. Color depth was set to 32-bit.

I've got one, nice monitor.

Bought one for the girlfriend and one for a cousin a year ago, both of them are still just as gorgeous today.

From the Anandtech review:

As a budget monitor, the 955DF is about as good as they come...

Overall, the 955DF is an excellent monitor at an excellent price. If you are in the market for a 19" monitor that will run well at 1280x1024 and look great, do not hesitate to go with the Samsung SyncMaster 955DF.

I have one and it's a great monitor for the price. When I first upgraded from my old CTX 19" monitor, the difference was amazing. It felt like I had just gotten glasses, everything was that much clearer on screen.

to add to the comotion, this is an amazing monitor for the money...paid 155 a few weeks ago and am impressed. its no lcd, but for gaming its perfect.

I'd agree that this is one nice monitor. This was my top pick for a CRT when i was monitor shopping last year. Ended up going for an lcd tho
