Well, I got to Best Buy at about 3:30AM and waited in line for an hour and 1/2; Had I been 3 people in front of me I could proudly say that I am the owner of a 22 inch Wide screen LCD monitor, however that’s not the case.

I was actually surprised at Best Buy’s management, they were very organized and prepared. They even handed out store maps with all the hot deals while people were waiting in line!

Anyways, after discovering that they were freshly sold out of the 22 inch wide screen I decided to head to Staples because some of my friends were waiting in line there and I knew they had some good deals on screens. I got there right as they were opening the doors, grabbed a 19 inch wide screen Samsung and to the registers I went.

I now have my wide screen setup dual heading with my other LCD monitor and am quite pleased with it’s performance for the price (about $120) There’s just enough space to be more productive, yet not so much that you have to move your head while you use the computer. I am really excited to get my TV Tuner card for Christmas and get it working with Windows XP Media Center.

Cheers,
Chris

After spending a nice long day with family, I’ve decided that I’m going to take Best Buy up on their 22″ Widescreen LCD Monitor for $200 offer. Last year, I went to CompUSA to get a Netgear MP101 for $50. I’m fully expecting to be in line with about 1,000 other people, and I’m not really excited about that.

Every year people flock to these big box stores so that they can wait in line, run to the same product with everyone else, fight over the product, and then wait some more in line. Is it really worth it? I have really mixed feelings on this.
