I was going to buy the NEC 20WMGX2 on newegg with the MIB and i just checked and they don't seem to carry it anymore......

that sucks major
 
Wow, I must have gotten one of the last ones. I ordered last friday and will recieve it this wednsday. Got the $60 printer for free too, not that I rubbing it in. I though about it, and figured it would be one of the last great IPS panels, I just had to pull the trigger. They may get it back in stock though, and other retailer might drop the price soon.
 
No, they probably won't get it back in stock since it was discontinued and production ceased months ago. Your best bet is checking back at the Egg periodically for "open box" or "factory recertified" models if you don't mind taking a chance. I got mine back in September when I could see the end was near for affordable IPS panels..

Same here, man. I keep getting screwed. I was about to buy a Dell 2007wfp and BAM! no more 2007wfps. Then I was going to buy this NEC and BAM! deactivated item. Feckin A man. IPS LCDs are literally running out unless you're in the 6 or $700+ market.
 
MrWizard - just because shit happens doesn't mean you can't talk about it.

Vick - No rubbing, you got lucky and i waited too long. it's my fault but it still sucks :) (you may want to check though cause yesterday when i look the spec said it's WXVGA+ so I'm not sure what it means...)

joemama - I thouhgt about open box but i'm not going to risk it on an item that expensive.

nsfx - yeah it sucks . I really don't know what to do now if i can't get it. maybe get the Samsung 21.6 or something like that....
 
I read another thread where a person was on with a Newegg sales rep yesterday and they looked up 20WMGX2 stock and said there was plenty. Then the rep said it was suddenly discontinued. Maybe it got caught up with that PayPal 20 deal fiasco that was supposed to last a few days and didnt even last one. Newegg was weird yesterday.

i called them this morning to make sur and the rep said they were out of stock.
I'm still going to check daily just in case but i need to look for alternatives now.
 
All I can say is...TRY REALLY HARD to find one. It's the closest thing to a CRT I have ever seen.....WOW!!!!
 
I had written to them after the October rebate expired asking if it would return for November, turned out they did extend it. A day after I posted on this forum I had ordered a Sam 215TW they dropped the 20WMGX2, maybe they were waiting for me :D or they don't want to give out any more rebates considering that monitor is so much higher priced everywhere else. If it returns in December without a rebate then that might be so. Just noticed Newegg also has taken down the 215TW and TigerDirect says "while supplies last". I would guess the next progression would be one with a digital TV tuner, but at what price is the risk.

The GX replacements are already announced and may be for sale already...the closest 20" WS that replaces the 20WMGX2 has a TN panel and no tuner whatsoever. The price should be lower however..
 
I really couldn't care about a TV tuner.
I would have liked to have it removed and the price lowered actually :)

now since it's discontinued i'm looking at either Samsung 206BW or 2032BW (i'm not even sure the latter is out though)
