Best Buy is currently offering only $175 for this monitor. Apparently the price as advertised in their Memorial Day Sale (May 25th – 26th) was around $219 ~ $229, but at the register it was tendered at $175. This has only been confirmed true for the Northgate branch, but I am sure it applies to all the Best Buy stores around the country. Here are the specs below:

Edit: After fishing around seattle.craigslist.org for anyone already trying to make a buck or two off this deal, it seems to be a valid claim. The same monitor as the one I’ve mentioned, for $199. It’s still a good deal, but why not save more money and just buy it for $175 right?
