I got it for a good deal when I still worked at Best Buy for around $1300 (including service plan), which at that time was about $300 less for comparable products. The brand threw me for a loop -- I always thought of Westinghouse as a light bulb and toaster maker, but since the name was bought out and tacked onto LCD's, they seem to have done the name proud. Bottom-line: It's been a great monitor to have, and my friends are still jealous of this monster sitting in front of my keyboard."</p></div> Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:51:15 -0400 Ex-Geeksquad http://www.productwiki.com/ex-geeksquad/#item-376902 http://www.productwiki.com/ex-geeksquad/#item-376885 <div><p><em>June 30, 2009 at 9:24 pm</em></p></div> Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:24:35 -0400 Ex-Geeksquad http://www.productwiki.com/ex-geeksquad/#item-376885
