Samsung 2333SW HDCP 1920 x 1080 wide screen monitor. Dell has it for $179.99 - 10% coupon (VBGH?K188CBWMC) = $161.99. Free Shipping. Additional sales tax in some states. I paid 6% tax for a total of $171.71. This monitor gets very good reviews.
As of 5/28 save $10 more! UPDATE: The extra discount didn't last long. Must have been a mistake. They took the monitor down but now it's back at the original deal price of $161.99. The coupon is set to expire today.
UPDATE: New 10% Off coupon code expires 6/3: PS41S3BF?8?XC3. Price is still $161.99 shipped.
UPDATE 6/5/09: Monitor is currently out of stock.

It is kinda funny that a lot of these forms exclude circuit city as if it were a major retailer and not just another mirror of TigerDirect. Exact opposite of the intention of the rebate.
Let me save some posts...no HDMI, but yes you can get a cheap HDMI to DVI converter. No you can't pass sound, but the monitor has no speakers so no need to pass sound to it.
I ordered this Asus last week to replace my Dell 2005fpw. Initially I thought this monitor looked washed out and then someone here on FW pointed out that my old Dell used IPS technology and that this Asus uses the cheaper TN technology. TN screens suffer from poor viewing angles, less contrast ratio and inferior color reproduction.
I must admit, I expected Asus to look much better based on the outstanding reviews I read. The monitor seems enormous compared to my 20", but it's not nearly as sharp or vibrant. Still, for less than $200 you can't help but peg this as a huge bargain. My PS3 looks great on it.
Btw- In 2000 I bought a 21" Sony Triniton monitor. Since that time I've bought three monitors and each one is less impressive than the previous. Funny trend, but I find it disappointing that 10 years have passed and we still dont have an LCD that match CRT's in terms of black levels and color reproduction.
I was going to jump in on an earlier deal but missed out and the price ballooned to 195 after tax. Already own the Samsung 2333HD, adding the 2333SW to dual screen! w00t! 161.99 + 13.57 S/H = 175.56 (NYC)

Not to be an ass, but you probably should've done more research before buying a new monitor. Newer isn't always better.
Unfortunately non-TN panels are becoming harder and harder to find these days. A lot of the great LCD screens of the past few years (like the NEC 20WMGX2, which is no longer made) were close to perfection in my opinion. Great blacks, glossy screen, colors that pop, and no input lag or ghosting. If you can find a 20WMGX2 refurb somewhere, I'd jump on that if you're looking for IPS Bliss.

That has been my complaint for years. Teh new technology has taken a step backward for the past 10 years. Nothing beats a 150 year old CRT technology. I have 25 year old CRT Tvs that work fine and still have a great picture. Everyone wanted flat TVs so they made them no matter how bad the picture is.

I think that is a stretch. CRT's continually evolved over their life too. Remember black and white was still available not 30 years ago? I am using a Samsung 2253BW and the blacks look pretty black (devoid of color) and the color reproduction seems to me excellent. And it is only 8.5 lbs and hangs from my full articulating Ergotron mount nicely. I would like to see your 22" CRT monitor weigh less than 40 lbs and hang so nicely on my wall. Your 150 year old technology is just that. It has had an uber lifetime to evolve. Look at how far LCD's have come in just a few short years. Think about how you will be drooling over them 100 years from now.
