Too Good To Be True?

Jon Jon

I am looking around for sub $150 USD 144hz 1080P monitors, and I came across this guy:

 

http://www.microcenter.com/product/470186/KG240_24_TN_Gaming_LED_Monitor

 

It's a TN panel with display port and 144hz.

 

My friend is looking for a nice present for her partner, and since they play a lot of Warframe and Overwatch with an i7 + GTX 970, I think this is a cool buy.

 

Part of me thinks it is too good to be true though.

 

What do you guys think?

But it's only in store and the sale ends in 18min, so you got to go now!

Are you sure that's not the 18 minute store pickup in the top right?

 

I am looking around for where it says the sale ends, and I can't find it!

my guess is that they probably only have one or two and they are maybe open box i would call them right away and see if they have one available for you in your closest store if you want one.

The one in Queens, NY (which is down the block from where my friend who wants it lives) says they have 10+ new.

 

They are aware,. Now they are just mulling over if they will spend the money.
