In case anyone from CA is looking for a TV to use as their monitor, Fry's Electronics has the Toshiba 27A34 on clearance/sale for $179.
I had been keeping my eye out for a sale/clearance on this model since I saw another post about this item being on clearance at Target. Seems like all the Targets in my area have moved these already, but I was lucky enough to get it NIB from an individual for $160. The Fry's sale is still a good deal (ad says it lasts today and tomorrow). Looks like this model is being cleared out everywhere.
