Comments on: Return of the $179 24-inch LCD--for $169

1080p? Check. HDMI input? Check. Rebate? Well, yes, but even if you don't bother to send it in, you're getting a steal on a big (and new, not refurbished) monitor.

Somebody needs to make a "bridge" for using two monitors. So that you don't have to look at two black borders between them.

Think about it, it's usually only gamers (which is a niche market) and business class users doing work with spreadsheets or other productivity suites (and I doubt they have control over what the IT department gives them) that use multi-screens. There isn't much demand for what you are asking for.; Like this

Looks like newegg has it for $159.99 (after $20 rebate).

by bsvols July 1, 2009 12:29 PM PDT: The NewEgg deal you posted is for a 23 inch monitor. (Same price before rebate, $10 cheaper after rebate - SMALLER monitor) These are both very good deals.; Like this
