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.

How exactly would that work in the first place? Besides, no one's going to do it because there aren't as many people with multi-screen setups. 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.

If you want a set up like that then take the cover off the screens and zing you have a seamless screen. I think this is just thinking by logic so don't quote me.

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

Slightly different model, but still a great find. Score!

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.

I finally pulled the trigger. This price was just too good to pass up, even for a poor college student.
