      I brought this last Christmas shopping season for $500-$50(rebate). At $330, this is a great deal! It has two HDMI, one component, one SVGA and one DVI. Both the TV and monitor function satisfactory. No major issues or problems. The speaker is weak. I am unable to determine how to use the attached speakers with the DVI connection.

      Excellent deal, ESPECIALLY if you live in California (free shipping, no sales tax, no monitor disposal fee)

      No VESA mounting holes and "some" ghosting. All in all, much better reviews than the Westinghouse 25.5".

      I just got the 23 inch version from SamsClub for $300. It is pretty decent, but you have to tilt it a bit to compensate for the darkness angle. Left/right angle is excellent, but these were meant as monitors first, which causes a relatively high sweet spot for viewing.

      This model may differ a bit from mine, but it looks exactly the same as my 2333HD set.

      BTW my 2333HD model claimed the same specs Ben has above, but in the manual and on the box...The specs are really:

      10,000:1 contrast ratio
      3 year warranty
      ATSC/Qam tuner (unscrambeled 23 comcast channels I don't Pay for)

      So if this model has the same specs...VERY worth the MONEY!!

      Bought a 26" AOC from OfficeMax a couple of weeks ago for $225 with free delivery (next day). Was 250 but they deducted 25 when I noticed a bad pixel. Could have had a next day replacement, if I chose. The variations in advertised prices are amazing.

      No longer available - Perhaps Amazon probably has filed a complaint with Samsung about this low price due its recent sale for $450 + $100 rebate!

      Amazon deal is also dead. They're currently offering it at $369.99 through TigerDirect only.

      I got one almost immediately after Ben posted the deal, and it's already shipped. It would sure be nice if they double boxed it, but I have my doubts...hope it travels well.

      Hell of a price for this monitor.

      I bought one of the Dell Samsung 2333SW monitors for $169 yesterday (also an excellent deal), but when this came up this morning, I couldn't resist. I guess my wife is getting a new monitor when the Dell shipment arrives.

      I have this monitor and the quality is not great. slow response and wont come back on from sleep. Viewing angle is poor like most tn monitors. Quality is not good when watching tv. I have it hooked up to my cable line and still getting fuzzy channels. Only the hd channels look good. Not too bad at around 300, just for the fact it has the tv tuner built in.
