[Best Buy] Bestbuy Alienware AW2720HF 240 Hz FHD 1ms IPS - $399 YMMV

Saw this Alienware AW2720HF monitor deal for $399.99 in the BestBuy flyer on RedFlagDeals (under Flyers Section). However, when I checked the Bestbuy.ca the price was still $799.99. Checked the flyer on Bestbuy’s website and couldn’t find this product listing (all the other item listings on the website flyer were the same except this monitor listing was missing or may have been removed by Bestbuy). Went to my local Bestbuy and showed them the flyer from the RFD and the sales rep was confused at first and didn’t know what to do. Called a manager who checked on the system and after checking for 5 minutes he couldn’t find the $399.99 price at all. But I told him that this is Bestbuy’s flyer, so he agreed to match the price at $399.99. The sales rep was stubborn and still had her doubts and wasn’t willing to sell the monitor at this price. She kept on researching and also showed me the flyer on their website that didn’t even had this monitor listing. I showed her the proof again and she discussed with another employee and finally had no choice except to sell the monitor to me for $399.99. The whole process took about 15-20 minutes but I am glad I got a good deal. Just thought will share this deal with fellow RFD’ers. Good luck hunting.

I know this is only FHD and not WQHD. The 1080p pixel quality on 27’ screen would not be as great as it would be on a 1440p monitor. Good for gaming beginners like me who do not want to spend a fortune on getting a good gaming monitor.

Regular price is $799.99 on Bestbuy - https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/al ... lsrc=aw.ds

Also currently on sale at Dell’s website for $549
