Good LCD Monitor/TV deal at NewEgg today

Just thought I'd pass this deal along... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889160016

I just ordered one for $219 today, and I'm led to believe that the price goes back up soon (like tomorrow)... I had been looking for an LCD to replace my 17" CRT monitor, and which could also take a composite or component input so that I can use it for my PS2 and Wii when I'm away from home. Nothing else I've found could even begin to touch this price (and some were only 1440x900).

The review says that it does not have an HDTV tuner built in. Know anything else about that?

Not sure... Everything I've found on NewEgg and elsewhere says it's supposed to have an ATSC tuner (ie for Digital TV & HDTV from an antenna), but I don't need one, so it didn't affect my decision to buy it. If you have cable or satellite that you're getting HDTV through, then you don't need a tuner built into the TV... just whatever box they gave you connected to the component or HDMI input.

thanks for the tip weston; this sucker is getting ripped apart and turned into a multitouch panel =)

Mine showed up this afternoon... there's a minor scaling issue when using it as a PC monitor at some resolutions, but 1400x1050 seems to be pretty good, and it's only noticeable for smaller text anyway. It works well with my PS2... probably too well for GT4 because it's sharp enough that you can see the game dithering a little bit when in 1080i mode. The speakers seem decent enough for being integrated into a small TV, and it's definitely plenty bright (had to turn that down a bit).

I might have to bring this with me to the track next season for some late night drunken Mario Karting...

I brought one last year at CompUSA. It's pretty good monitor.
