Re: OT - heads-up: good deal on a budget IPS monitor
Sorry for being noisy: At Walmart, new users can save extra $10 by entering the discount code: ELLEN10.

Presumably that "special" batch might be of a lower quality. Actually, Best Buy also has the same sale price ($119): https://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-se2717hr-27-ips-led-fhd-freesync-monitor-piano-black/5996200.p?skuId=5996200 I see that this model is discontinued at B, so, I suspect it might be at the end of its life-cycle, and that's the reason for such a deep sale. BTW, if you are curious, from what I've read SE2717HR comes with HDMI cable, while SE2717H comes with a VGA cable, but the rest is the same.
