I paid $599 for mine through mail order but I DON'T recommend that route: I've
ordered over $10,000 worth of merchandise through the mail that I couldn't get
locally since 1985.  Out of 7 monitors sent to me, only 4 were functional upon
arrival.  A 1080, and a 1084 arrived fine.  My first 1950 was screwed out of
the box and with the run around C= gave me on the phone I swapped it for a
Mitsubishi.  The first one had interference on the screen and completely died
in a day.  The second worked, but then I got the Flicker-Fixer and didn't want
the boarders so I risked going back to the 1950.  The 1950 arrived D.O.A.  I
took it the the then a week old local authorized repair center and they first
told me that since I had mail ordered it, it was not under warranty.  C=
straightened this out (the first positive response from them) but the shop
nor C= had the part needed so C= sent me another one.  This one works fine and
_almost_ has overscan licked.  I'd suggest you go to a local dealer.  Amazing
computers in Dallas had a sale a couple of weeks ago for $589 (yeah I know
cheaper that my mail order but I originally ordered it 3 MONTHS ago).  That's
about what it should be going for down there in College Station.  Good luck!
