Samsung 17" WS TFT Monitor £299

Not sure but I think this is a good price, it was already reduced to £319.00 but in the Plymouth PCWorld they are reduced again to £299.00.

Bought one myself and the picture was amazing when I played Star Wars Episode 1 and with the Logitech 560 Speakers as well its quite a setup.

Only thing was I had to download the latest driver for the graphics card as I was only getting a blank screen.

Model no is SyncMaster 172W and comes with a wall mounting bracket and built in speakers.

Darren,

It was in the store, I have not looked at the web site. It might be worth a call to your local store.

They have a 172w in the Newport Rd Cardiff store. But they insist it is £349 in the sale (they claim to have checked against some list). Doesn't have built in speakers though (?)

The one with speakers should come up @ £299 (SyncMaster 172W). It was ticketed as £349 but went throught the checkout @ £299. Not sure if they'll be many left now but am extemely please with mine. Also they're doing a promo at the mo so I got a logitech cordless (black one) for £35 down from £69.99 when you buy a display!
