I had a good experience with them. Shipping was a little slow, tho.

I got my 22" flat screen Mitsubishi tube from them for $350 - next cheapest I ever saw was over $800. Even the ones on e-Bay were going for more.

For price, they really can't be beat on some items, but don't think you'll get Amazon or Ashford type customer service from them.

Yea, I got my 21" Hyundai from them as well for $299 (new, not refurb!). Shipping was slow too, but it wasn't thier fault was UPS's problem (monitor was delivered, and UPS tracking still said it was on the other side of the US still).

Anyway, they regularly sell big monitors for cheap - just be sure you want it 'cuz from what I understand they give you a big hassle if you try to return stuff.

Here's their 20-21" monitors:

This doesn't sound like a "deal" to me. You can find a new decent monitor for $150 nowadays and the geforce 2mx you can find for $100-150.

If you can find a 15" LCD Monitor for $150 please share with the rest of us...

Tiger is alright... I bought two 19" monitors from them. My main grief was that they often show things "available" but that doesn't mean "ready to ship". After about a week I called and asked where my monitors were only to learn that they were backordered for two weeks. When I complained that the site (even that day) still said they were available. They agreed to ship them overnight so that I would have them as soon as they came in. One monitor died the first night and they sent me a replacement and picked up the old one. Overall, I was pleased and would order from them again.
