    Their terms do specify it. Although I'm not sure how you define a 3rd party since it seems like everything on Amazon is via 3rd party? ANYWHO... it looks like Samsung does control that price at $549 nearly everywhere, so I'm not sure how Deals4Less can list it for $341 or whatever. Anyway, hope you have an amazing day ahead!

    I wonder if they buy "stolen" merchandise? I have read that there are companies like that. They dont admit they are buying stolen merchandise, but they also dont ask where their sellers got it from.

    "Hey, I have 20 monitors from a store that went out of business."

    "Oh okay. We will give you $200 for each!"

    "Sounds good to me!!"

    Then they resell for $341

        I don't want to get involved with any stolen merchandise, or otherwise unethically sourced merchandise. My values are too important to sacrifice them for a hundred dollars.

          Here’s my new monitor with arm stand, installed in my office that may or may not have been recently devastated by a tornado. Also I have canceled the Amazon order because principles.

            That's a BMFM.

            Why did you go with the mounting arm rather than the (presumably) included stand?

              The included stand didn’t change height or angles. The previous version that broke had a nice stand. The stand on this one is an afterthought. The VESA mount makes it easy to use a good one.

                I've been considering something like that, but my desk doesn't have a handy spot to mount the arm. The desktop has only about 1 inch of clearance from the side of the desk.

                  There’s a grommet attachment too. Probably not useful for you either though.

                        I'm actually putting off reading your posts until I get an even better monitor, maybe in several years or more. The riches that await me are untold!

                        The way I see it, good conservative Trump voters like you and me are givens. I try to keep tabs on the "other side", as it were.
