How can you tell if it is fake or not?

because I am going to buy this monitor from this site
http://www.openpinoy.com/shop/step1.php?number=6038&scode_mode=&sc_code=C20100914031219&sm_cdoe=

which is 8,390php (187$) and you can avail for 10% discount 7,551php (168.50$).

I am wondering why is the price so low, because normally it is selling in my country for 14,100php (314.50$) it is almost half the price.

So I will be going to there shop and check the monitor out, so haw can I tell if it the real deal?

In my place, Malaysia it's selling at $266 with 5 YEARS warranty
Yours, 1 year only warranty...for $187, the price is good in my opinion...

But it is a huge price drop compare to other sellers. there are 5 sellers of this monitor and its price range from 14,100php (314.50$) to 16,000 php (357$), and they also provide, only 1 year warranty.

If the seller in my place give only 1 yr warranty, maybe the price will drop to $180.
Just check the seller, how long they have been business, what kind of negative comments leave by the previous buyer... if all OK, just buy the monitor...

You must be scared to buy from the cheapest one

There are not that much feedback from that seller, even if they are in business for 9 years. but they are known for selling 2nd hand products not new ones.

I always go for the cheapest product, but it is very suspicious that they are selling for half the price compare to other sellers.

and I also asked if there is a service tag on the monitor. but they said it didn't have one. is this normal?

9 yrs is a good basis to tell if the co. is okay, becoz u cant survive in PC competition if u are doing flip flop business...

Anyway, i bought 2 Philips 23' IPS (3rd in total) last 2 weeks n the box/monitor didn't state any Service TAG like my old Dell laptop...
However, the seller warranty is 3 yrs... so i bought it from the cheapest online store... now i have 3 beautiful white monitors on my desk.
