thanks for the idea about craigs list i hadn't though about that one (nor have i ever used it) i will have to look into it.

i would certainly entertain the idea of lowering my price for either the monitor or the tv if you are interested please feel free to make me an offer. i am all about finding a good deal. i think i was being optimistically fair in my pricing. i do understand that you can find cheeper monitors for 150-200 price range but i didnt see a single samsung that fell under $220. same for the TV lookin at Best Buy the least expensive LCD was a 22'' insigna that doesnt even have HDMI inputs. the least expensive 26'' i saw (just a quick look) was in the $550 neighborhood.

please let me what you think. both the TV and Monitor are in pretine condition.
