Probably discontinued due to the text being blurry. Just got an RMA # for mine and returning it tommorow to circuit city.
Hooked up my nec 20wmgx2 next to it tonight just to be sure and you can actually see individual pixels on the nec screen. The L246 you can't see any individual pixels on screen even though the dot pitch is higher. Why? because it's blurry

Um, and exactly where did you hear that it's discontinued? I find this pretty hard to believe considering since it's been out for such a short time and seems to be pretty popular.
LG's website still lists it and Best Buy and CompUSA both carry it. Circuit City has never had this in stock by me, it's always been online only. Basically, aside from this post, there seems to be no indication anywhere that it's being discontinued. So please share your source for this.
I asked the manager of the store near me. I used to work there a few years ago. it was rated the highest volume computer sales department from manhattan to end of long island. we could get any piece that was "web only" and discount it further. they said they can get it but it is being discontinued. whenever you see a "click for a better price" or best buy giving an "instant" 50 off or whatever, that's because it is being discontinued. 1/2 year isnt a short while. it is about how long most products last before some sort of model change even if the base product is similar/same. it is possible that CC is discontinuing it because it doesnt fit well with other sub 400 dollar displays. a lot of sales people are stupid and cant upsale such a thing. or, some other unknown corporate variable. However... i think its being canned. The store by me carried it, but it is now marked "discontinued" in their computer and not to be ordered anymore.
also, consumer websites always show which models the company would best make money on if they are requested at a retailer. sony and sharp are great examples of this. they only show 1-2 models that are current, the rest are ones about to be discontinued, or are not out yet in ready stocks. they want you to want the next thing, so distributors buy it to meet the created demand, or empty the shelves of the really old crap.
