LG L246WP 24" LCD $278 at CC B&M

[gtg465x]

This is probably the hottest LCD deal this year! This monitor is not a budget monitor like the 24" Acer, Westinghouse, and Soyo. This is a high end monitor with a P-MVA panel and a lot of features from one of the best names in the business.

It's currently selling for $619 at Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005099&Tpk=l246wp), so this is a downright STEAL! I suggest you hurry and get one before they're gone. It was recently discontinued and I assume they put it on clearance to make way for a new model sometime soon.

Mine came to $294.64 after tax.

[Kuyt]

Link????

[Ogilvy]

I'm a noob at this forum stuff so.... B&M means what? CC = Circuit City?


No link??!!??

[Kuyt]

Any links to the product itself? Like, specs even.

[RussianHAXOR]

B&M= Brick and Mortar
CC=Circuit City
BB=bestbuy

I want a link or receipt... ^_^

[Term-X]

B&M = Brick & Mortar. Which more than likely means YMMV = "your mileage may vary".

[silent-circuit]

B&M = Brick & Mortar.
CC = Circuit City

He probably can't link it as it's an in-store clearance type deal. Would've been nice to scan and post the receipt so those who go for it could try to price match if necessary, though.

[mnewxcv]

brick and mortar circuit city. I'll look for a link..

[Ogilvy]

It's not listed on their website...

[anthongy817]

what city did you purchase it in?

[Ogilvy]

He must've gotten a floor model or something.

[gtg465x]

There's a link to the specs at Newegg in my original post, but no link to Circuit City because they only have it in store, not online.

This is NOT YMMV. As confirmed in the displays forum, this deal is EVERYWHERE (unless they're already out of stock).

This is NOT a floor model.

Lol this deal is so good none of you believe me. I'll try to upload the receipt here soon.

[Gazoo]

I would buy a second for that price in a HEART BEAT. This is an amazing display (I own one) got one at a steal for $450 from BB when they discontinued them.

Will maybe check it out.

[mnewxcv]

component, hdmi, and vga...not to mention 24" 1920 x 1200. under $300 is unbelievable. wish I had cash.

[Ogilvy]

Well, CC is closed where I am. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to investigate this.

[anthongy817]

Sold out in all of Houston area.

=[

[RussianHAXOR]

I will go to CC right after work(now and check it out) :P

CC does not even show to sell a LG computer monitor at all.

ONLY B&M...it's not going to show up on their website.

[mnewxcv]

its discontinued. They are probably getting rid of the old stock. they did it with mx518's a couple months ago i remember.

[dj_2004]

Suppose I'll go check my CC out, only a minute away.

[palabared]

Just called mine and talked to the computer section guy, he was confused and said they didn't carry LG, then i had him transfer me to the tv guy and he said they didnt carry them anymore ;(

[BF-2]

I just called CC @ 800-843-2489 and they said they do not carry a LG lcd in 24" at all.

[SmokeRngs]

If I had an extra $300 in cash I might run a half hour tomorrow to check it out but unfortunately I don't. Had to buy a new mobo for one of my folding boxen and a heatsink/fan for my main system. Too bad a good chunk of the $150 I got for my old Koolance went for the Ultra 120 extreme. Otherwise, I'd be halfway to another 24" screen. Dual 24"s would look nice on my desk and I could retire another one of the 17" CRTs.

[dj_2004]

No LG LCDs in my store.

[gtg465x]

The only reason your local store might not have them is because they already sold out. I have confirmed the deal with two stores in my area and a couple other people in this thread have confirmed the deal as well.

By the way, I put up a receipt on the OP for proof.

Most of the smaller Best Buys never carried this monitor at all. It was usually only carried in the large metro area stores only. They are a clearance item to make way for the new model. Here's the new one: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8739378&type=product&id=1201913868031

Great monitor. I bought one for my son for Christmas and it is very nice.

Hmm... All four Best Buys in my area carried these, but like you said, I'm in a large metro area. All the Circuit Cities in my area seem to carry these too... for the moment.

The funny thing is the "new" one is TN, making it a step backwards in quality compared to this one.

[gtg465x]

I just called CC @ 800-843-2489 and they said they do not carry a LG lcd in 24" at all.

They're probably saying this because the model was just discontinued, which is why they're on clearance now, and they probably won't be stocking any more LGs in the future.

[pothb]

Well I hope I can get one... might be worth it.....

[jonjon0nline]

None around me. The lady did verify the price to be that though. Oh well.

[sonofander]

6 CCs in driving distance from me. None have this in stock :(

[ABerd]

Man . . . I JUST bought the 24" westy at BB. . . :(

[sonofander]

how is the westy?

[gtg465x]

Man . . . I JUST bought the 24" westy at BB. . . :(

Heh... me too. Hopefully you're still in the 14 day return period like me. If not don't worry though... the Westy is a very nice monitor as well and I assume you got it for only $350.

[cjm18]

Are they even in their system if you call specific stores? OR do I have to go to the store and look around.

[Gazoo]

Word of advice, stock will often show as zero, but there are often display models on the shelf. Could probably try for even more of a discount (got 10% off mine a while back).

[cjm18]

How do I tell if it's P-MVA? Hopefully the description at the store will tell.

Viewing angle is usually a very quick and easy way to tell.

[NoNRG]

Very hot deal! Jump on this fast if you're looking for a 24" monitor. I thought it was hot at ~$370 on Best Buy clearance about 6 weeks ago.

[calikool]

I have this monitor and it's great. I'll have to check the circuit city in town and see if they have anymore. Doubt it.

[EnderW]

if anyone would like to sell me one I would appreciate it
damn CC here doesn't have them

[veedubfreak]

Man, i just bought the soyo 24" last friday for 259+tax. Its the MVA panel, last one the officemax had. Guess i gotta go to CC after work today and see if this is better than the soyo.

[Mtnduey]

called every single CC store in 60 miles of here and no luck on stock

[theDreamer]

Sold out in all of Houston area.

=[

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well thank you for looking for me. :D
Is there a CC in the Woodlands area, if so did you check there?

[kadozer]

crap how did I miss this :(

[finny76]

Deals like these dont last long!

[Scar1.8T]

I just called and had them check all the locations in Atlanta and its completely sold out. Looks like I will just keep the Westy that I picked up yesterday.

[crfracer290]

My local CC has two in stock and they confirmed the price. I will go and try to snag them after work is anyone body wants to buy them for cost from me since I already have dual 24"s.

[veedubfreak]

Actually there is a CC in the woodlands. I used to have to drive from huntsville to get to any big box retailer when i lived in texas.

So this doesnt have DVI or does it. The web pages says it has DVI but then mentions hdmi > dvi. I'm confused. Guess its still worth checking if they have one at the local CC on my way home. The only thing i dislike about the soyo is that the stand doesnt adjust. Really would like it to tilt.

The monitor only has HDMI, VGA, and Component.

It comes with a VGA, HDMI, and a DVI to HDMI cable though.

I called the Tigard, OR location and the guy said they didn't have any anywhere in the Portland Metro area. He did sound kind of sleepy though.

[vladthedecker]

I grabbed the last two in Greece, NY.

As I was walking in the door a guy was walking out carrying the display. I thought I was going to be screwed but it turned out that they still had some left. I bought two and they were holding the last one for a guy who was driving in from Syracuse.

[Zetherin]

You guys are so fucking lucky. I've been drooling over this monitor - very very good for the price.

If you get this monitor at this price, know it will probably be your best buy of the year :D

[stonewalker]

i can get one for 450 maybe 400 for floor display and nothing comes with it.should i get it is it worth it for gaming and movies?

Go to the display section of the forum. There is a giant thread about the 245, which is pretty much the 246.

It definitely is worth it from what I've read.

EDIT: There is one for the 246W, too!

i've had it for about 6-8 months now... it's a great display. i had to exchange it three times before getting the perfect one, but it was well worth the effort. check out this thread http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1167222

[sonofander]

I really want one of these... If anybody finds them in stock and could grab one for me, I'd really appreciate it!

[stonewalker]

how can i tell its not a tn panel is there a date on the back i can check?

[crfracer290]

Ok well I just got like 30 PM's in response from my post above. If if I do get any of the them (heading over there right now) I will just go in order of when I received the PMs just to be fair.

[FinalAura]

wish i was rich...

[calikool]

Looks like they are all out of this product in Augusta, GA and Columbis, SC. Dang it. I will just have to enjoy the 24" monitor that I already have.

[sonofander]

somone get me one of these PLEASE????? I'll buy you a beer or six :)

[veedubfreak]

Is this really a better panel than the Soyo from officemax? Even having to use hdmi > dvi ? Just trying to figure out if its worth the effort to try to find one of these then return the soyo.

None of them are TN. They are all P-MVA.

[JCDenton]

None in my city. If someone can get me one I'd pay your cost + something extra for your trouble.

[veedubfreak]

Just called the 2 stores within driving distance, neither one of them have ever even had one in that store, and as a matter of fact the firedog guy i talked to said that he did a search for someone else yesterday and couldnt find them either. Meh, guess i'm sticking with the soyo.

Edit: called every store within 20 miles, no one has it :(

So for anyone looking in the Southeast Denver/Aurora area...no dice.

I'd suggest actually going down physically to the stores.

Some people you speak with may not even know what product you're speaking about, even if they're supposed to know, and then give you an incorrect answer. And, sometimes they do know what they're speaking about, but may not even know there are more in the back. It's happened quite a few times to me. Go down, talk to them face to face, and make them check.

Yeah, when I picked mine up they had to get one out of the back.

[cjm18]

Well they had a display model at mine... just didn't have the actual stock out there.

Huh? Why would you do that? Never do that. Always ask.

[Whoodie]

DFW is sold out of NIB. Cedar Hill has one display left.

[Blazestorm]

Might try to get one... If this is better than my Soyo, could make the Soyo the "2nd" monitor, and move the 19" widescreen to a different job...

[manini]

This is one of the best deals I've ever seen. Torrance store didn't have any. Culver City store didn't have any. However, I was very fortunate to pick up the very last one from the Hawthorne store! Thanks OP!

Never ever call, its like the first rule of fight club or something. it is seriously one of the worst things you can do on a deal like this.

[defy]

Culver and La Cienega CC both have zero (I went in store). :(

Yea my place was like "we've had atleast 10 people ask us about that monitor today" I was like >_<

This was in-store, I checked the shelves first with no luck, then asked a guy to check... he didn't even have to look it up... just knew what I was talking about =(

[Tytalus]

I checked most of northern Illinois--completely sold out or never had stock to begin with. I even checked store numbers that didn't exist, the Marion warehouse and the internet warehouse--all empty. Sorry!

(This applies to central Illinois as well!)

[vladthedecker]

When asking CC employees to check if the monitor is in stock you may have to give the model number L246WPBN. I went to two stores and they couldn't find L246WP at either. At the second store one of the guys working knew what I was looking for and he looked it up with the BN model number. Just thought that might help.

[paco16]

called the Circuit City store in Vermont and they said they did not have any LG monitors listed. Had him look up the model number as he offered to order it, and he said there aren't any LG monitors listed there either... Vermont is small potatoes, so maybe that would be why I can never get the in-store deals. Heck, the Best Buy in this area just started selling the 8800gt...

[4saken]

Checked 4 CC's here in nashville, no dice. Oh well!

[veedubfreak]

Ya, the smaller store near me said they have never carried any LG 24" monitors, and the bigger store said they havent had them in stock for a long time. Seems these monitors only got stocked in the bigger stores.

[Master_Pain]

Ok, so I'm not really liking my Westinghouse 24" that I got in at from the Best Buy deal and kinda want the Acer since I already have an Acer 22". Anyone interested in trading?

[apex32]

I just went there and got the last one in my area for $236. $259 out the door :)

[thelead]

None in Orlando.... I swear, I never can get any of these CC and BB deals here... oh well

[Ravynmagi]

Wow, I felt pretty good when I bought the floor model at Best Buy for $450 about 2 months ago. Until I saw this thread. :p

I might take a look at my local Circuit City. Probably a snowball's chance in hell of them having any (I don't recall seeing them having LGs in stock in the past), but I think I'd get a second one if they had it.

This monitor is HDCP compliant. The new in box ones come with a sticker that says "Windows Vista Ready", and I've seen other places that it has HDCP. Also, someone earlier in the thread has successfully played Blu Rays on it.

The combination of a few 4-midnight shifts in a row working outside, 3 straight nights out drinking with guys from work, a pancake dinner fundraiser with a house full of sorority girls, not bothering to sleep, a computer that only boots when it wants to, and needing to be up at 6AM to head back to my real job in the morning finally did me in. :(

Correct.

;1032217176']yesssssss just received mine today! screen is bigger than i expected. totally diff impression when looking at it in the store.

Yes, my impressions exactly. Once I set it on my desk, I was astounded at how large it looks. Its a very nice panel I have fallen in love with it, I was originally going to sell it for a quick couple hundred dollars profit, but I can't bring myself to take it off my desk.

The stand is GREAT, by far the best LCD stand I have ever come across, which just makes the already great LCD even better. Best $260 I've ever spent in my life.

[iseedeadpeople]

saw one @ bby more expensive than all of the 26" in there....

[AthlonXP]

yeah I really cant justify selling it. Even if I don't make it my primary monitor its well worth the money i spent on it.

[TheGardenTool]

I think I found an opened box for $216.xx but they can't find it. I'm going to call them back again today to see if they found it. The sales guy said the warehouse guy hasn't seen an "LG monitor in store for months."

He did say it would still carry the full manufacture warranty as well as CC's standard return policy.

This is true, it will still carry a warranty from CC for i believe 14 days, then you have a 3 year from LG.

These are great monitors. Too bad a spend a few more shinny pennies for mine.

Perhaps

[TheGardenTool]

I called CC back and was put on hold for 30 minutes. I hung up and called back 15 minutes later. They found their last open box. I drove a little over an hour, ~45 miles away, to go look at it. They didn't have a stand for it! So we took a look at their VESA wall mounts and universal stands but I didn't want to mount it in the wall nor would their universal stands work.

The employee tried to look on LG's website for replacements parts and I called LG. About $85 bucks for the pieces. So it still wasn't took bad of a deal, out the door for $230 plus $85 or so to order the stand.

I thought I wasn't even going to be able to use it until I get the stand but I have an older Dell 18" and its stand works as a temporary solution. I could only mount in two of the bolts but it works for now.

It is gorgeous and such a good deal. You can barely find decent 22" for under $300.

Now its time to start doing more photography work as I have a lot more pixels to view at once!

They didn't have a stand for it! So we took a look at their VESA wall mounts and universal stands but I didn't want to mount it in the wall nor would their universal stands work.

The employee tried to look on LG's website for replacements parts and I called LG. About $85 bucks for the pieces. So it still wasn't took bad of a deal, out the door for $230 plus $85 or so to order the stand.

I thought I wasn't even going to be able to use it until I get the stand but I have an older Dell 18" and its stand works as a temporary solution. I could only mount in two of the bolts but it works for now.

It is gorgeous and such a good deal. You can barely find decent 22" for under $300.

Now its time to start doing more photography work as I have a lot more pixels to view at once!
