Looks like a pretty decent price for a well reviewed monitor. I would probably take a shot at it if I had enough money. Maybe someone with more knowledge on the tech aspects can list the pros/cons of this monitor and whether they think its a good deal?

The price is great and Samsung makes high quality monitors. 12ms response time is great as is the contrast ratio. Its a good deal.

Heheh... try not to make it so obvious when you whore yourself out cheapy =D

I'm always weary of pricegrabber, I haven't personally had any problems, but a lot of people say they link to unreputable bussinesses... For $20 on an LCD I'd cough up the bucks and go with newegg, they're first class.

I want that...

Hmmm....LCD monitor.... sounds interesting.

I have the 17" and im very unhappy with it. I get streaks that go upwards when i play games on it. Very odd looking and annoying. Could be a one time thing, but just putting my opinion out there.

I thought it was obvious that I was posting the PG link to enforce that it was a good deal.
I guess it wasn't.

Are you not running in the native resolution for the monitor? Making the monitor scale the image to non-native ratios can do things like that.

Thats a good price on a good monitor. I would really consider that if I had the money to spare.

Man, I really wish I had the money for this. I remember when I did my thing for a freeflatscreen and I was choosing between this and a 27" tv and both were selling for $400 at the time, I was really close to taking the monitor. I guess the TV held its value more. I always forget about that pricegrabber thing too, I should make better use of it.
