| Details: | cheap 22" LCD Monitor for $140 after rebates (expired: sold out)
It has DVI input, and includes a VGA cable. Note, this deal is very risky for 2 reasons: the quality of the monitor, and the chance of not getting the $50 rebate on the monitor. This really is a cheap LCD monitor, so be aware that if you dislike it and already submitted the rebate, you may be stuck paying over a hundred dollars for a poor quality item that no one wants. Even some recently completed Ebay auctions had trouble selling this monitor. The few reviews of this monitor gave it about 3 stars out of 5, and there are a couple reports of broken LCDs and the manufacturer failed to provide adequate support. Our recommendation is to avoid a deal like this unless you really do want a cheap LCD monitor and do not care about quality. The mail-in rebate for the monitor appears to be a Fry's rebate, not a manufacturer's rebate. Fry's has a poor history of not fulfilling their own rebates, and chances of not getting your $50 is greater than a manufacturer's rebate. The $50 printer rebate is a manufacturer rebate. |

| Advisory: | This deal requires the customer to mail in at least one rebate. Make sure that you save a copy of the rebate form immediately, just in case they take the rebate form offline. It is also recommended that you mail in the rebate immediately after receipt of the item, otherwise you might forget to do so. And you should mark the maximum date that your check is expected to arrive, so that you follow up with the company if you do not receive the check in time. Rebates can be annoying, time consuming, and require a responsible person to follow the tedious rebate instructions. And, this involves the possible risk of the customer fulfilling the rebate requirements but the company choosing not to send the customer a rebate check for any reason. The more well-known or reputable the company is (the company itself, not the company's products), the more likely it is that you will get your rebate. If the rebate is from a company that you've never heard of, of if you question the company's business practices, chances are high that you will never see a rebate check. Understand that dealing with rebates are risky, so ask yourself if the product is worth full price in case you never receive a rebate check. |
