Everyone should have a widescreen monitor these days. Costco has some great deals on them. A few months ago, the Costco coupon book had a $30 off coupon for the Samsung 2220WM 22 inch widescreen monitor with integrated speakers. It has a fast response time of 5ms, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 1680 x 1050 maximum resolution. At my local Costco this monitor (Costco item number 292220) sells for $279.99. So, I got it for $249.99.
I just compared this to prices on Amazon, and found that Samsung has released a new model to replace this one.
The differences between the old model 2220WM and the new model 220WM seem imperceptible. The new model, 220WM, is available at Amazon for $267, they also have a $30 mail in rebate.
Conclusion. I could have saved a bit, had I waited and bought it from Amazon and sent in the rebate form. Costco, however, still has the the lifetime return policy on monitors. They changed it for computers, TVs and some other electronics to a 90 day policy, but for monitors it is still lifetime.
