Samsung 205BW 20-inch LCD Monitor $269.99 AR with Free Shipping
CompUSA.com has the Samsung 20" SyncMaster 205BW Wide-Format Analog/Digital LCD Monitor for $349.99 - $30 CompUSA eRebate (Exp 8/19) - $50 Mfr. Mail-in Rebate (Exp 8/19) = $269.99 after rebate, free ground shipping. (Free ground shipping not available to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or on International Orders. I believe that CompUSA charges sales tax at least on orders to be delivered to states where they have a retail store location, if not all states.)
Wide-format 20" display, 1680 x 1050 resolution, 700:1 contrast ratio, 6ms response time, MagicRotation (Auto Pivot to vertical format), digital/analog inputs, 3-year parts and labor warranty.
Kind of a "poor-man's" version of the Samsung 215TW (see the description in the separate 215TW post below), this display may actually be better suited to a lot of traders than the more expensive 215TW. You lose only one inch of diagonal space, the built-in speaker, and the picture-in-picture and portrait/landscape pivot features of the 215TW, and the contrast ratio drops from 1000:1 to 700:1 (still respectable), but you gain a bit of response time advantage (6ms vs. 8ms for the 215TW). Possibly as important in a multi-display configuration, the elimination of a built-in speaker creates a thin-bezel border on all sides. A great price for a high-quality monitor.
