Damn, I was really considering picking one of these up too.
Officemax stock is area-based, so call anyway and find out .

I don't think the 6800GT nor 7800GT will draw blackbars for you. I think you have to have a monitor that does that.
If I'm wrong - PLEASE tell me where the option is to change that? I'm tired of stretched 1024x768 on my 1680x1050 22' widescreen.
In the ATI control panel, it's called "Use Centered Timings", vs "Scale image to full panel size". I'm pretty sure there's a similar option in the nvidia controls. Oh yeah, and supposedly it actually works, cause the ati one doesn't, grr.
I ordered the monitor 9-8, I was told I'd get an e-mail when it shipped. It was supposed to come from the OM distribution center in Orlando. I heard nothing by 9-12 so I called. I was told it would be delivered 9-17. Ok fine, so I waited. 9-17 got here and no monitor, so I called again. They said I should have it. I wanted the tracking number, but they said they wouldn't give it out over the phone. "Send it to my e-mail address"! They wouldn't do that either. I looked online at my CC statement and the monitor had been charged on 9-11!!!! I was pissed! I demanded the tracking and finally got it. UPS had never received the package! I called OM and canceled the order. What a mess..
I'll wait. Acer has a 24" for $299.99, even if it has a $100.00 rebate, 24" prices look like they are falling.
Is this monitor HDCP compliant? If I purchased one it would be mainly for grabbing an X-Box HD-DVD drive and watching HD-DVD movies on my PC.
Just ordered one over the phone hoping to use a coupon code also, but because of the instant savings they wouldn't let me. Oh well, still $100 cheaper and free next day delivery.
Depending on the code, you could have tried ordering online. I did that the last time these were at $299 with no problems. Ended up being around $280 with tax, free shipping.
Tried two different codes, both were invalid online. The guy actually even said over the phone that you might be able to use codes online on top of the instant savings, but that they weren't able to enter any through their computer. I'm still happy with the outcome though.
Weird, I actually just ordered a second LCD with a $30 off coupon online and it worked fine. Of course, these came from fliers sent to my work, so maybe that's the difference?
The website says the deal has expired... is it still going strong in stores, or is this one kaput?
I was sooo tempted to purchase one of these, but wanted to wait until payday to not cut myself short on money between now and Friday. I had to work and exhaustively long day yesterday, (16 hours of constant presentations), and when I got home, I found one of these new beasties on my desk hooked to my gaming rig. My wife and son went out and purchased, came home, cleaned my desk and hooked it up for me. Although I only played with it for like 10 mins, I found no bad/dead pixels and the colors looked pretty decent to me out of the box, (I am probably color blind). This monitor looks and plays much better than my 22" Acer I had. Woot for having a nice wife and son!!
Now I just need to figure out how to use two LCD monitors in my gaming setup...
