I noticed at Sam's Club (bulk shopping place), they have a Samsung 245BW on display and only one boxed unit left. The boxed one looks like its already been opened. It's been sitting there for at least a week so I assume they are replacing this with the new Samsung model when the last one is sold. I'm tempted to ask the manager for a deal on the display model or maybe the open box one.

But then I wondered how weird it would be having a display model. Knowing that your personal monitor's buttons had been fiddled with by half of the town already... that the stand had been adjusted by god knows who... wondering who has looked it over and thought about buying it... and deemed it unworthy somehow... Sad

For christ sake its only a bloody monitor its not food or medication.. buy the bloody thing and ask for at least 10% discount because its a display model. you will get the exact same warranty on it that they offer on a boxed product.

Dont be a snob mate buy it and save youself some cash Smile

BW's aren't that good, use cheaper panels and have issues. CW should be the one you're after, was looking to get one myself.

I never heard of the CW. The BW is just the B with a glossy frame. I know its a TN panel but it looks pretty good at the store, and its only $399 (before any deal). I already seen the new 24" Samsung is bringing out to replace it and I beleive its the same panel just different buttons, stand and a glossy screen. I just need a pc monitor I dont care about hdmi or hdcp or any of that fancy shite and also the main thing I like is its plain look and the HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE STAND. FUCKING SHITE WHEN ARE THESE FUCKING ARSEWHORES LCD COMPANIES GOING TO PUT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT ON THEIR FUCKING STANDS?? AND I DONT MEAN 3 FUCKING CENTIMETERS I MEAN A GOOD 20+ CENTIMETERS! AND NOT SOME BENDY DOG-LEG TYPE BULLSHIT LIKE ON HP'S I WANT A PLAIN UP AND DOWN STAND. IT REALLY GETS ON MY FUCKING TITS ALL I WANT IS A SCREEN THAT GOES UP TO MY FUCKING EYE LEVEL BUT NO THAT WOULD COST $3 EXTRA TO MANUFACTURE.

Just be sure the monitor has had a constant moving issue on the thing (check to see what is on the other monitors in the store).. Also, ask if they're turned off at night and how long they've been selling that model.. at least that way you will know how long its been sitting there turned on.

My viewsonic has an adjustable stand, but it takes up about half the room so I'm guessing the reason they aren't extensive is space. A monitor high in the air needs balance which can only be provided by a sturdy stand. It's a tradeoff. Besides you can mount them on the wall if you want, it's an option I've not tried myself.
