22' HP w2207 Monitor (refurbished) - $299 @ FS in-store

[McMurphy]

I was looking to get a widescreen monitor and I went to Futureshop in downtown Toronto yesterday. They have the HP w2207 (refurb) on sale for $299. It is definately the best monitor in it's class with Brightview (glossy) screen. I thought this deal was only a web-only deal, but they have it in-store too. Crazy monitor for $299. BTW, it looked mint when I examined it and comes with all cables including DVI.

Is it still 90 days warranty for the instore?

I have this monitor and it is hands down the nicest monitor I have ever owned. Games are awesome on it too.

I'm not so sure 299 for a refurb is all that great though as it's 349 new at Bestbuy.

300 for a refurb 22" TN screen is not a good deal..

Just be careful with the refurbs.. one of them is mine since I bought a w2207 in December and it had a dead pixel - exchanged it for a new one which had a perfect LCD. The colours look very accurate out of the box without any adjustments... I was impressed! Damn happy with my purchase Plus it's got HDCP, so I just bought a DVI to HDMI adaptor and I can hook up anything HD to this baby.

This is the monitor FS was clearing out for free w/ clearance quad core desktops last week.

Concidering they were giving them away to get rid of them, I wouldn't pay full price

The Dell doesn't compare to the HP. The HP is a better monitor.

The HP does have better contrast ratio and a better stand. I am just saying, if you can accept dead/stuck pixels on a refurb, then I gues this is for you.

I bought a new Samsung 22" and got 1 stuck pixel. I returned it and took the chance with the refurb HP 22" . No dead/stuck pixel. I am very happy with it. Better built than the Samsung too.

The HP is practically the best 22" monitor out there from what I've heard but it's a glossy panel so it's not good in places where there is too much sunlight

So thats why the Online order/instore pickup free 22" refub Monitor deal was dead since they are going to reprice it at $300 and resell them!

Yes, I saw it too at Ottawa Staples store, $100 off for a brand new one.22" HP. No need to buy the refurbished from Futureshop with less waranty.
