Samsung has just announced a pair of LCD monitors with built-in TV features that promise to “eliminate the line between work productivity and HD entertainment,” according to the press release.

If you’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting for an LCD monitor that’s only 0.65 inches thin, your wait may soon be over. Otherwise, a standard monitor ought to do just fine.

Top o’ the morning, deal hunters. Here’s a 24-inch monitor for $164 after $10 mail-in rebate. The rebate’s good until the end of the month, but even if you don’t send it in you’re only out ten bucks. It happens.

Costco is selling a 28-inch HannsG monitor for $299.99 after a $50 instant discount, good until the end of the month. That’s a lot of monitor for less than 11 bucks per inch! Nobody measures monitor prices in dollars per inch, but maybe it’s time to change all that.
