Office Depot currently has the Element 32 inch QHD (1440p) IPS monitor plus a $25 virtual Visa gift card for $140. VISA gift code is no longer working - please see below

Add both monitor [officedepot.com] and $25 Visa gift card [officedepot.com] to the cart

Use coupon code: REWARDCARD2023 at checkout to subtract $25 from the final price.

Coupon code works for total order of $125 or more, it doesn't have to be this monitor


UPDATE: VISA gift offer appears to have expired. The $20 Turkey Card (I think it's still a Visa Gift), $25 Uber and $25 Gas card credit are still valid through 12/31. Not as good of a deal anymore. I'll update the original post.

I will add my comment for every Element related post:

Please don't buy Element products. Bought a monitor from them. It's only last 4 months and now it gives me blank screen when I turn on. I cannot return it because it's over 90 days return policy. Spent a lot of time through many calls to their customer service. They tried to ignored me by chasing around like "I'm getting an update for your case", "Someone will give you a call back at the end of the day or in 24 hours". Never got a call back. They keep doing that until I gave up. Like just thrown away a couple of hundred bucks. This company is scamming people.

Don't. First one died 8 months in. It no longer powers up. Bought a second one and 2 months later the monitor doesn't wake from plugging in my work laptop. Need to unplug it and it will come back. But fiddling with the inputs won't even wake it. Avoid. Buy a cheap LG or Samsung.

Valid points. I can't speak to the longevity of the monitor but I did purchase one and the Visa card came via email 2 days after the monitor shipped.

I certainly hope it lasts more than 8 months. I find a lot of these manufacturer warranties to be not as helpful (ship it out and it takes forever to get anything fixed so you are left without a monitor). I'm actually replacing my 1 year old Samsung 27in 2K monitor with this one. The Samsung monitor had its own issues with the HDMI port after just 2 weeks of use. It was going to be a huge hassle to send it back, get it repaired (they quoted that it could be up to a month) so I've been using the DP with it up until now. It now has sleep/wake issues on DP. Decided to try a different - cheaper brand. For a 32 inch 2K IPS 75 Hz, at $140 minutes $25 (good as cash), it may be worth a try

Sadly I've found that 80% of the time, it's the luck of the draw. I bought a cheaply-cheap Element 65in LCD going on 6 years strong now. My expensive LG 55in bit the dust long ago. For me, most review and comments just have to be taken with a grain of salt cause between manufacturers, all the shipping & deliver, bugs, and user issues, it comes down to "ā€¦do you feel luckyā€¦Punk?ā€¦" (Clint Eastwood)

Sorry to see so many bad experiences. I bought mine during last year's Black Friday. I was worried because there were a few flickers happening at night initially, but then would go away. Lasted a week or two I believe.

Other than that, no issues. Really enjoying my purchase for photo/video editing and general use. šŸŒŸšŸ˜ŠšŸ‘šŸŒŸ

I have two of these bought during last year's sale and they're working fine. In the market for another 32" 1440p display and would have pulled the trigger on this one if I had seen the thread before 12/16. Oh well.

The coupon code is actually valid through today. I changed the post accordingly to reflect that in case of any confusion.

I checked it out too. It looks like they made the coupon expire a day early.

If anyone's still interested, the $20 Turkey Card (I think it's still a Visa Gift), $25 Uber and $25 Gas card credit are still valid through 12/31. Although the Turkey card appears to be a Visa Gift Card, the deal is obviously not as good as $25 Visa card. I'll update the original post.

I bought 2 of these about a year ago. One of them stopped working right after the warranty expired. They told me to take it to asurion, and of course they said it was unrepairable. The monitor backlight would turn on, but no image was displayed.

I filed a claim with my credit card and was able to get reimbursed without too much trouble.
