***COLD*** Staples: Samsung 940BW 19" Wide Screen LCD $219.95

[Tazmania]

Staples jacked up the regular price to $269 which makes this deal DEAD Cold. Great for those who got one.


I've been looking for a 19" WS LCD for a while and this is a very good price...even better if you bundle it with a PC or Laptop purchase, there is an additional $30 MIR.

Buford is asking if there is a $30 off coupon instead of $20 off floating around, not about the rebate.
I think he's right, doing a search but can not find it.
***EDIT***
Found this from HOT!!! Mio C310 GPS with touch screen $249.92 after coupon @ Staples (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=370214)
It's not $30 off but you could use the $10 off $100 and $20 off $150 buy adding fillers.


just to let you know you can stack both coupons to bring the price down to $239.92

-$20 off $150 code 78111
-$20 off $150 code 82414
-$10 off $100 code 82435

[hardywang]

Sorry for misunderstanding you. I could be wrong, but remember that one was already expired

add something for $10 to bring total price to $250 then u can use $10 off 100 and $20 off 150 (get a freebie $10)

This one? Find it from http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=335814

But doesn't work because the 58381 is $30 off $150 and expires in Oct...>:(

Thanks for the help guys. I went ahead and ordered it anyways. Was considering the 20" Dell last night but $90 extra is a lot to pay for just one inch.

Thanks OP!

Does anyone know if they have to be on the same receipt?

[rockyj9999]

The latest flyer has it on sale for $239.95 after a $40 Instant Rebate. No mention of a bundle MIR?? But the website is still showing the old bundle. Does anyone know when they update their site? I'd like to order it on line and take advantage of the coupons.

Thx

[shopper-X]

Does anyone know if they have to be on the same receipt?

I think so. The rebate mentions COMBINED PURCHASE

thanks OP! There's another christmas present taken care of.

any personal reviews on this LCD? My friend has it and it seems pretty nice.

[ppl4golf]

I got the 940BW from CC a couple of months ago and it was $239 then and has not been lower than that on their site.

I also have an Acer 19" widescreen (without DVI) as well. Be honest, I like the Acer a little better for some reason...but really both are very sweet and you really can't go wrong with this price. These 19" 1440x900 displays are the best bang for the buck IMHO.

darn it......didn't know about the $30 off coupon until the order was already processed.

Can I call up the Customer Service line and get them to take off the $20 off and apply the $30 off? Even though the order has already been processed and credit card charged?

Maybe it isn't worth the hassle for the extra $10+.......argg......

I wouldnt do that considering, they were in stock this morning in our area and 1 hour later they are OOS. If you cancel you may never get the chance to reorder.

worst they can do is reject your request.

I placed an order last night at like 4:00 A.M and the order actually got processed and had gone through.

This morning I received this email.

"I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, but all of the

a backorder system, please try again in 1-2 weeks.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if we can be of further assistance.

Is there anything that I can do?? Like wtf? I freaking hate staples now because last time when I went to PM with FS for the ML-2510 printer, the manager was stalling so much freaking time and then said they didn't have any stock. Clearly F-ing BS. Make sure you guys don't ask for a PM right away, go pick up the actual item and PM at the cashwrap.

[prod]

Yep, I got it in my cart around 4am also, but a few minutes later it dissapeared.
Looks like some phantom stock.

[JiNuWiNe]

I would like to know if these $30 off $200 coupons can be used instore??? I called to ask and they said I must bring a hard copy of the coupon. Where can I find myself one of those baby?

[aubergine]

I bought a laptop 3 weeks ago, if I buy this lcd now, can I apply for the mir?

Anyone know if I return the filler item, will they take the coupon amount away?
I used two coupons but the invoice only shows one.

Depends on how much the filler is but most of the time they will take out the coupon unless the CSR is a newbie, but then if she is too new, she will call her supervisor and ask too.

[prod]

It would be great if this could be combined with the clearance computers that many of us got a couple weeks ago. The only way to find out for sure is to apply for it and wait. I dont need the monitor that bad, but I advise anyone else to try for the combo rebate, the worst that can happen is it gets denied.

[djjosee]

Ordered it yesterday at 2 PM ... doorbell rang at 10 AM this morning. Damn that was fast!

Talked to a CS rep with the rebate department today and was advised that the 2 items had to be on the same receipt. Cant hurt to try thought.

[JiNuWiNe]

Anyone know if I can do exchange of payment after purchasing the monitor online. I was to use the online coupon and my staples gift cards. Do they take GCs online or can I do exchange of payment in the store with the online receipt?

[astrix]

are these available in store?
and if so... do coupons apply?

[guest3721]

Coupons are for on-line only.

I just placed an order! Used a $30 coupon, came to $209.95, nice deal on a 19" 4ms Widescreen!

enjoy !

[SPARTACVS]

Ordered, thanks.

[Furiae]

I don't get it...

It's 264.95 with $30 off $200 Coupon which brings it to 234.95.

Am i missing something here?

these online coupons are meant for online/catalogue/phone orders only.

not meant for instore use.


however, there have been cases in the past where it HAS worked instore (for some RFDers)... YMMV.

you'll be pretty damned lucky if a CSR/CSM/MOD allows it.


hard copy of coupon? i don't think that even exists :P

Ordered it yesterday at 2 PM ... doorbell rang at 10 AM this morning. Damn that was fast!

it's stooples "guarantee" that they have it at your doorstep the next day... so-called "next day delivery".

that is, of course, only if you ordered by 6pm local time. otherwise, it's 2 days.


if this FS/BB or Dell then that might be surprising... :)

[Furiae]

Waiting in anticipation for an answer this late night. So i'm guessing the price was changed?

I think it depends on your location, it shows up as $239.95 for me.

I am in the GTA.

[Furiae]

Well that sucks. I was all ready to get this too. :(

Maybe i'll call them up tomorrow see if i can change it.

[mahjongmaniac]

Waiting in anticipation for an answer this late night. So i'm guessing the price was changed?

actually, it appears that the price diff. is a result of the enviro levy charge in AB.

compared to other region's pricing, it's $240, which means they're tacking on an extra $25 for electronic items.

but this is some stupid BS at stooples b/c i believe when you checkout, they add that levy charge *again* ...



all you need to do is use the "PC trick" to change your region to another and you'll get the lower price.

[Furiae]

So is this enviro levy only for Alberta? Been sometime since i actually tried to buy something new...

It seems every region except Alberta is OOS of this LCD too...

[Daijoubu]

Just in time...my BenQ FP731 just crapped out, gonna RMA it...
Thanks ordered one for 210$, I hope the 500:1 is not that bad

[SPARTACVS]

Do you know if this model comes with a DVI cable? I think the same model (different part #) comes w/o DVI cable.

If yes, does someone know if the DVI cable will work with a ATI x850xt platinum (from a dell xps)? I just learned that there is different DVI cables (probably because of different DVI connector types). This is anoying, no wonder I put less and less money in technologies.

Thanks

[rrm]

The Alberta enviro fee for monitors is $15.
So this doesn't account for the $25 difference.
I may call the order in on Monday to see what they'll do.
The local and online flyers show this monitor at $239.
I am sure they will honour it

I used the DVI cable that comes with it to hook up my 9000 Radeon and it works. Just to test the digital input of the monitor before I got a new graphic card. :)

I'm using that monitor right now (ordered it from NCIX) and I'm just loving it. Colors are vibrant, images are crisp... never going back to CRT!

Hmm...... you must have a really old CRT. If I remember correctly, people stick to CRT because of the color differences in LCD and CRT. CRT produce way better colors and are crucial for photo editing.

THANKS for the tip, mahjongmaniac! I live in Alberta....the price was $265! Sooooo - I cleared my cookies, entered a Saskatoon postal code to start off with to get the $239 price, and then used a $30 coupon. No other fees added! Came to $222 with GST. Sweet! Thanks!

[Maelstrom]

Is it possible to add in a Saskatoon PC and then when I check out use another canadian pc? Will still deliver it or will I get charged?

Nvm, doesn't work.

That's probably old news (not very old I admit). LCDs have evolved a lot. As a example, last year they were pretty much >10ms. This year it's, <10ms. Quality have increased and prices have droped a lot. I mean 240$ for a good 19" wide screen!

[yehang0109]

It's out of stock in Toronto. So bad!:(

I use computer mainly for internet and programming and text edit. For these applications, can we feel the difference between Contrast Ratio 500:1 and 700:1?

[Furiae]

How much was it with tax and enviro fee?

Mine came out to $240 with everything included, but then my friend said he could get me $50 off when he could only get $24 off.

While i do think this is pretty nice, sucks alot of online doesn't support WS...

[firechkn]

I was also able to get the $30 coupon in store for the LCD. It took some convincing, but in the end they gave in :)

I have a question, if I could get some GC after the fact, can I go back and charge back my CC to the GC? Can I expect some hassle?

[Donor]

I'd like to get this monitor instore (Heartland likely), firechkn, you mention a coupon code - where can I find it and what sort of convincing did you have to do?

Forgive me, I'm a total noob...

[firechkn]

The coupon code was on page 2, code 81741. I just told the cashier my printer was not working and ask very nicely if they could just enter it manually. It's a hit or miss with Staples in-store.

[Donor]

-$20 off $150 code 78111
-$20 off $150 code 82414
-$10 off $100 code 82435

Is there a reason you used the $10 code as opposed to the $20? Forgive me if the reason is obvious, I'm an idiot.

[firechkn]

I used the $30 off $200 coupon code, 81741 as listed on page two of this thread.

[SPARTACVS]

Received mine, it works perfectly. It is not perfect (I can see that LCD, while having evolved a lot are still a little bit in development) but for 210$ before taxes, it's a good deal. Thanks again.

I cannot tell you for the quality but I can tell you for the sizes. I just went from a 19" crt that was in 1150x860. While it's not a big deal and a wide sceeen is cool. I consider that if you don't watch movies in your computer, you should go with the standard size (4:3).

[taile]

One question, I'm in GTA, and I can't find any stock here. Can I use a different postal code and place order then call in to change my post code? Will that work?

[Maelstrom]

@taile: It's not going to work, well it didn't for me. At the last step of the checkup when you login, it will use the postal code of your login; thus, giving you the OOS msg.

I do watch a lot of movies on my computer so that's half the reason I want a 16:10 monitor, the other half being so I can have windows open beside eachother when I'm coding stuff (I can't do that on a 1024x768 screen.) My original question was more along the lines of panel type and other related specs, if the 205bw and 940bw use the same panel type then there's no reason to drop the extra $100 on an few more pixels (1440x900 vs. 1680x1050.)

I guess this really isn't a thread to go into specific detail, alas I was just curious and looking for input from people who bought the 940bw and had any opinions on it.

[Maelstrom]

For those that got the monitor online, what time did you guys get it or do you know when they restock online?

I've been on the site for a couple of days and no luck.

no, apparently someone called Customer service and the receipt must clearly show the monitor and PC on the same bill.

[warren_s12888]

Anyway stOOpleS will put it on the same receipt??

*Edit
Read the requirements on the rebate form, and it doesn't say anything about computer and monitor has to be on the same receipt. It just states that products have to be purchased between Oct 5, 2006 - Jan 31, 2007.

They should just honour the $30 rebate even if PC and monitor are on different receipts. Less hastle for both parties.

well you could definitely try, only really thing you lose out on is the $30 from the rebate but you still get the monitor for a great price.

Its still a great price even if we don't get the extra $30 MIR, yes.

But since this is RFD, gotta try to get that extra $30 MIR.

30$ MIR > nothing :cheesygri

I am really debating on either the 205BW or 940BW. Is that $130 really worth the extra bang? Anyone got any saying in this???
Its an inch bigger and got few more pixels. Anyone else know of any difference?
Oh and its 700:1 contrast, 6ms.
