[Warm?] Samsung 930B LCD $510 @ Staples (No PM or MIR)
Staples has the Samsung 930B on sale this week at $549. If you apply two of the $20 off $200 coupons, the price will go down to $509.95. Just wondering if anyone know of other coupons that will lower the price even further?

Alternatively, tigerdirect.ca has the Hyundai L90D+ available at $473 (regular price, not on sale now). It has similar specs as the 930B (it is rumoured that it uses the same panel as Samsung's LCDs), plus it features a height-adjustable stand, speakers, and the panel can be rotated up to 90 degrees. However, I have never seen it in action myself, and I am not sure about the quality of their support and services. Hyundai's only service centre is in Ontario (I live out on the West Coast).
Any opinions on the Staples deal or the pros and cons of each monitor is welcomed. 
An update: The L90D+ is now available at NCIX for $518.67, and it is possible to price match it down to $465.

Arrggghhhh... why couldn't the 730b go on sale, I just bought that for $389 a couple days ago. The 930b is identical to the 730b but has a slightly higher contrast ratio. The 730 / 930 monitors are absolutely amazing. I got this thing hooked up through analog and it blows anything I've ever seen out the water (save the Sony’s, but those are significantly $$$). Even my dad who is used to a Dell 1905 was pretty impressed with how it looks. The only downside is that the stand is pretty damn flimsy. I got my monitor and keyboard right near each other, and sometimes when I type the LCD shakes. The 930b will be no different.
I was seriously considering the Hyundai myself, considering it is so highly rated, but the problem is that the only place that seems to carry it is Tigerdirect, and frankly I'm too worried about dead pixels, etc, to order from them. Luckily my Samsung came with 0 dead pixels, but if not I could've just brought it back in to staples.
I highly, highly recommend this new Samsung line. Beautiful monitors. Oh and btw the only other thing is that they don’t come with a DVI cable. I’m going to set DVI up on the weekend, but I really can’t imagine it looking any better then it already does.
