More digging, this brand new 23.8-inch Acer R240HY computer monitor goes for $135 with free shipping. It is an IPS 1920 x 1080 with three inputs (HDMI, DVI-D, VGA – see picture #4). It is currently the best seller among new Monitor releases over there.

Another single-figure item, the NEEWER Netural Grey Gradual ND-Grads 67mm Filter goes for $6.64 with a limit of 30. Shhh, don’t tell Amazon – this is not part of the dreaded Add-On program 🙂

What to expect on your first PrimeNow order (long post)
This is the post that was promised last weekend. PrimeNow is rapidly expanding to more cities, with Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Sacramento added most recently. If you haven’t ordered anything from them yet, coupon GETITNOW gets you $20 off an order of $50+. Details at the Prime Now promo page. PrimeNow is only available to Prime members.
PrimeNow is different from most of the other Amazon variations-on-a-theme (AmazonFresh, Prime Pantry, Prime One Day, etc). You can only place PrimeNow orders using Amazon’s PrimeNow apps downloaded from Google Play, iTunes or Amazon’s own appstore. You cannot place PriceNow orders from their website through a browser. If you already have Amazon apps installed on your device, it will pick up the credentials from there, so you won’t have to enter your username/password again. Your payment methods are also linked, so you don’t have to re-enter them.
This is a looooong post, more after the break…

New Nikon DSLR and Lens Price Drops
It’s Sunday, with an extra hour to boot, yes, it is a 25 hour Sunday! The microwave timer is probably wrong now? You can use part of that extra hour to take a look at the latest round of Nikon Instant Savings on DSLRs and mostly DSLR-Lenses. Some discount-highlights from Adorama:

+ actual prices are *6.95, but I round them for expediency
On a semi-related note, other things equal, a new round of Price Charts will be completed by the end of this week. I have to start on Monday-Tuesday, because there are manufacturer-initiated price-changes on Sundays, and they sometimes propagate at different times at different retailers. PS: please feel free to e-yell at me until it gets published 🙂
