Another Week, Another Monitor Post

Great deals abound this week!

  • 19″ Acer (1440×900 — not great), $89.98 at Staples. If you go through FatWallet and another site I’ve never heard of, you can get a little more taken off, but it looks to involve buying a coupon.
  • 22″ Acer (X223Wbd, 1680×1050), $139.99 at Staples, online-only. Don’t think I’ve seen a deal that good in a while. It’s online-only, but with free shipping.
  • 21.5″ Acer (H213H, 1920×1080: full 1080p!), $169.99 with free shipping at NewEgg.
  • 22″ Hanns-G (HI-221DPB, 1680×1050), $139.99 with free shipping at NewEgg. Same price as the Acer at Staples, but maybe not as reputable a brand.

EasyNews Reviewed

Even though some would argue that I enjoy complaining, I find that I’m often reluctant to give bad reviews to companies.

But my review of Easynews? In a word, horrendous. I think I signed up for their $9/month plan in January, or maybe sooner. They were doing upgrades or something at the time, so I was only mildly annoyed that their site was practically useless and had few postings.

I meant to cancel my account, but couldn’t find any easy way so I forgot all about it. I just got my latest credit card statement and remembered, and it seems that they’re still working to get back to fully-operational status.

For any other members looking, it’s https://www.easynews.com/cancel/ and you can choose to cancel immediately or at the end of your billing period. Done.
