CanadaComputers has this monitor for $350.
Anyone know of a better deal or a place with coupons for a lower price?
I am in Toronto so could pick up, or buy on-line.
Thanks!

Best buy had this on sale not too long ago for $349 (I am more comfortable purchasing from them than CC etc). So you can probably expect it to go on sale again. A month or so ago I purchased it for $369 @ best buy. pretty good monitor, but the speakers that are built in are really bad, so I hope you're not planning to use the speakers. The most useful thing I found with this monitor is the DVI/VGA inputs and the ability to seamlessly switch between two computers using the same monitor.
Good luck in your search, I may be looking for a second LCD so plz keep this thread updated :D

I see that it is $450 at BB. They claim to price-match but is there some escape clause where they won't PM with CC or the other discount sellers?

Do not pay any more than $369 for this monitor. It is this price at BB at least once every 30-40 days or so, if not even lower.
MonitorDepot has it for $345 right now: http://www.monitordepot.com/
They're at 404 & 16th in Richmond Hill.
BB should price match, according to their policy. Good deal.
$449.99 - $345.00 = $104.99 difference.
10% of difference = $10.50
Pricematched price: $ 345 - $10.50 = $334.50 + taxes

As your last post suggested it appears you are able to get this price matched at Best Buy. When I tried to price match (at the time I bought mine, directcanada had it a few bucks cheaper and they only charge the one tax) they would not budge. They went on about having to take into account shipping it and using the fastest shipping method because you have to take into consideration that you're purchasing it immediately. I thought that was a bunch of bull and just picked it up for $369.

I guess it depends who is working at the store when you show up there. The guy I talked to confirmed that they would price match and did not mention shipping etc. I got his name so if he is not there I will quote him. CanadaComputers has it in stock at $356 downtown so no shipping anyways there.
He also thought it might go on sale at BB anyways any day.
Wish me luck!

The last time it was on sale (a few weeks ago) at Best buy, this monitor was going for $349, so you may want to wait a bit...

Just went "down" to $399 today, from $450. Big deal!
I plan to buy it from BB, with PM, for around $350.

Nope, was that price for a couple days now.
It can be found a few places for around $360 though, there is a thread in the requested deals forum.
